UPDATE: GlenColor picture profiles

[robfilms]

Are you sure you did a proper WB procedure? The wall and the door should be white (unless they are yellowish in real life) after that, no mater what profile you use.

1 Set the AUTO/MANUAL switch to MANUAL.
2 Press the WHT BAL button
3 Set the white balance memory switch to A or B
4 Capture a white subject, such as white paper, full-screen in the same lighting
condition as the one in which the subject is.
5 Press the (one push) little button on the left side of the A/B/Preset switch.
The adjusted value is stored in A or
B. The stored color temperature appears for about 3 seconds.

i think it is great that the fs100 displays the color temp.

i find it very handy.

is there no way to dial in a preferred color temperature?

thanks in advance.

be well

Of course you can. In the menus and with the buttons on the outside.
Set it to Preset, hit the WB button and than the little button left of the A/B/Preset switch.
Than the color temperatur comes up in the display. With that little wheel (that you use for shutterspeed) you can now
dial in the temperature.

The manual explains it all ;-)

thanks for the quick "how-to".

i did read the manual, and even watched the doug jensen/vortex dvd.

i must of missed "setting the temp" because all my other white balances have been accurate.

in your work with the fs100, how do you use "setting the temp" rather than a simple manual white balance?

i'm obviously still learning/test shooting my fs100!

I set my temperature mostly manual, till I got the skin tones where I want them.
If I shoot something without skin, I use the normal WB with a greycard.

Ok, ok, I did some more testing and I think that my shoots are still yellowish (less then before, however).

This is without any profile applied:



And this one is with GlenColor1:



In the first one, brown is as brown as it should be, in the second one brown it's so yellowish. And yes, I did a proper WB.

Now I see what you mean.
My profiles are optimized for skin tones - since the FS100 is always a bit on the red side (no pun intended) and the red channel is prone to clip first, I dialed it back.

So I HAVE to color correct my shoots in order to solve the "yellowish tint problem", right? And for a run and gun work (I mean shoot and deliver without any post) which profile should I use?

REGARDING Manual Color temperature

I also usually dial my WB manually. But I noticed that with the FS 100 and with all Sony cameras in general, it is nice to dial a slightly cooler WB that it would normally be.
You can for example do a preset WB with a white card, look at the temperature in K and then dial manually a White balance which is between 100 and 200 K less.
For reason it gives me even more latitude while shooting (Clipping less) and when grading I can make the image warmer if i want.
CLEARLY, my rule of thumb> Its much easier to grade a shot that is too cool than one that is too warm. Making cooler a warm shot is not easy. It probably has to do with the Component (YUV) encoding of the image.

To be safe? Non (profile zero) ore AbelCine Range, but I would prefer no profile at all.
