I am backpacking with my FS700 into Havasupai Falls in Arizaona and will be hiking and camping there with a group for 2 days. I am going very minimally as far as
handheld is concerned and using a lightweight tripod for fixed shots. (Using the 18-200 Sony PZ lens with handgrip for zoom) No ext. viewfinder I am using the Loupe cut down, and that seems to be dealable.
I have an Alphatron EVF which is GORGEOUS, but just too much of a hassle to deal with outdoors in a moving group situation. I would love to know what Picture profile you all think might be
best in this situation. I want to make sure I capture the color composition of the water nicely and maintain as much latitude as possible. Shooting directly to AVCHD at 1080 24p. I would love to
shoot 4k but I can not afford the Oddysey at this time. Thank God for the long battery life this cam has as I will not be able to re-charge at the campgrounds.
Thank you in advance.

If you don't have an odyssey, about the only choice you have is Cinegamma1 or 4. Abelcine has some PP's using these cinegammas that I would recommend. I would stay away from the Slog2 because your footage is too unique to risk with this hi noise, shaky exposure option.
 
Ken, you should try and test your PP before leaving no matter what you will use! If you are limited to battery power keep your finger away from the zoom switch. It's a power hog.
 
If the 7Q is not an option, I like Cine 4 for bright outdoors. It has the best highlights. For lowlight and nighttime camping stuff, I would use Cine 1. It's really good in the shadows.
 
Thank you. Yes that sounds correct. I will definitely test before I go. When I shot at Grand Canyon I noticed that 4 worked well in bright sun. I liked the color levels but the blacks seemed a bit low, so I will try elevating the black gamma a bit.
Thanks again! Very helpful.
