You can find that adjustment in the picture profiles. Select a picture profile ( you can find profiles on Ablecine website and how to load them) you can then go into the matrix on that page and select the white balance temp.

On the DVXUSER site there was some debate on the two S Logs, the one paid and the one released by Sony in the V1.40 Firmware.
You would have to do a search on the DVX site. I would always use an external monitor to use a LUT. The built in LUT I think only came with the paid upgrade.
You could learn how to expose with the S Log only? One nice feature on the Firmware V1.40 is that you can dial in your color temp! On the paid
S Log you only have either 3200K or 5600K.

David Thorpe passed away on May 25th. For those that aren't familiar, David was a huge proponent of M43 and shared his love of photography on his blog and YouTube channel. 
A message from his family can be read in the description of this video:
His channel is well worth checking out. He was a very thoughtful reviewer. 
His blog is also excellent:

Go to your PP8 or any PP. Go to SET scroll down to Gamma, scroll down to S Log.

If you are on firmware version V1.40 the S Log should be loaded in the picture profile menu. If you have V1.40 it should be there.
In V1.45 I believe Sony had the paid RGB version in that firmware. You can still find the free S Log V1.40 from Sony, It's out there.
AbleCine have some really nice Picture Profiles you can load from their website. Search Sony F3 Loads of info on the camera.
It really makes a difference shooting in the best codec you can when recording S Log. The 444 RGB looks amazing coming out of the F3.

You would downsample the 8k to 4k first since no one has 8k TVs, then compare 4K to 4K….and see the mojo of the 1DC. 😉

Seriously, we are all amateurs here and not trying to create 8k masters to bring out in Hollywood 10 years from now. I think 8k is a joke right now. You really need to downsample to see how it compares to 4k recorded straight up. Maybe then, YOU MIGHT see finer and clearer 4k. 
I would like to see the comparison. And…don’t forget, the 1DC is 4:2:2 8-bit.  It’s a really good 8-bit. 

My 1DC just bricked. Infamous error 80, then complete lockup. Sent to Canon and they are fixing for free under limited warranty! What a company! 
 
I miss it already and it’s only been gone 6 days! I don’t think I will ever sell it. 

You can find that adjustment in the picture profiles. Select a picture profile ( you can find profiles on Ablecine website and how to load them) you can then go into the matrix on that page and select the white balance temp.

Ed, this is on par with Spinal Tap and Best In Show. You have a great sense of humor combined with an awful lot of creative talent! These tests are fun and informative.

Those Jem Ball units are a work of art!  I like the adapter for the Joker 200. They still make the Jem Balls here in LA. I bought three Jem Balls last year. Come to think of it I also bought one of your old, well used Dedo 1x1 Led lights ( has your logo on it ) I Still use my Kino 4x4 and 2x2's a lot. I love my tungsten 150w Dedo lights. And I kept my old 400 and 200 Joker par's, for punch. I still burn my fingers once in a while on these hot lights?

The only down side of using the Canon C500 is the cooling fan that kicks in when you are shooting 2K or 4K, the fan does turn off when you press the record button but after seven to ten minuets depending on your shooting location temp the fan turns back on? There is a fix for this and I got one, it's an external fan cooling set up that cools the input vent of the C500 when recording! there are two small computer cooling fans mounted on an aluminum mount that screws into the side cover cap that covers the input and output SDI connectors, this can run off a D tap or 9 volt battery, I have not had the C500's fans kick on once since using this set up, I only put the unit on when I'm doing sit down interviews. Bellow is the unit I got for the fan problem, it was found from an old blog by Matt Porwoll.

I own the C500 Odyssey 7Q+ and love all I get done with this set up! I also own a set of Zeiss ZF primes with cine mod, the image and color these deliver with the C500 are very pleasing to my eye. I've been putting off running some test's with the C500 and Odyssey, and have only been recording 4K ProRes 422 10bit, 24p, The RAW C Log files are super easy to grade, and I use a few good LUTS I have installed on the Odyssey for shooting in field. I have included a test by Shane Hurlbut, that show the C500 shooting 4K RAW and 2K RGB 444 10bit. I'm going to go out this week and shoot some 4K and 2K - 1080, at both 24p, 60p, and 120fps Half RAW.  I hopefully can give you some more info when I'm done. Also a note I believe the C300 (original) only shoots 8 bit 422 files? and only has 8 bit out of the HDSDI, it is a lovely 8bit's!
 

I don't think in this test they were protecting the background of the yellow and red bulbs for clipping, and that it was more a test for the skin tones on a lit subject and the color rendition, it is clear the 6K dragon has more dynamic range with this clipping red bulb in these camera comparisons, but I can tell you if you do protect your highlights from clipping with the C500 you will be very happy with your results.  Another thing is it so important when shooting Canon C Log to protect those highlights and know how to expose your image. Even a Arri Alexa will look crap if you don't know how to use it, and with a little understanding you can make most of the digital cinema cameras of today look amazing.

It cost a lot more than what you think to get a camera package together that will cover all your shooting needs, start of with something manageable that will make you happy, but don't over do it on the spending. If you don't need 4K, start with the best 1080p camera package you can afford, but remember there are a lot extras that go with any camera so budget those in! 
Here in the US (west coast) you can find young owner operators practically giving away fully loaded camera packages with full support and themselves for very cheap rates, I see these ads all the time on Craigslist, they range from URSA PRO's to RED DRAGONS even ALEXA's, sometimes you're better off renting only what you need for the project.
The  items that will deprecate the quickest are todays digital cameras, be aware you may never make your money back on these very costly tools. 
Just log onto any Craigslist site in the US and go to Photo and Video for sale, you will see the nutty prices for owners with their cameras for rent.

The Sony PMW F3 was and still is a great camera! Just had to post some great examples of what can be delivered with this camera. Copy and paste only the underlined.

I put it together, I found these on Vimeo. I was looking at this camera 3 years ago, and found a lot of these examples on Vimeo. I ended up buying three of these F3's, as the price with the S Log RGB was $1,800 to $2,000 (with a few extras as well!) you can't beat the F3 for the money. And built very well with all the HDSDI outputs. I find it can shoot just about anything you can throw at it  I recommend the Optitek FZ to Nikon or Canon lens convertor, it's rock solid and locks the Nikon or canon lens on the F3 without any jiggle or play. I use my Odyssey 7Q+ and together they work a charm.
