A7s Presets.

[Tim Naylor]

Getting great colors with the A7s can be elusive but possible, especially if you use the right profile settings. I thought it'd be great if A7s owners/users could post their best profile "cocktails" ideally with footage, best conditions and uses for their custom settings. As this is a thread to improve the A7s image, do us a favor and please save the camera bashing for another thread.

 

Thanks.

 

Here's one I tried that Kholi Hicks came up with that worked quite well for me in terms of getting a very gradeable flesh tone  and all but eliminated the dreaded green hue. Thanks Kholi.

Did you try this yet?

While you can adjust Color Phase to help dial out green, it's best to make such tweaks to WB for the conditions. A Rec709 profile with saturation dialed down might also be a good starting point.

It think I'll try it tomorrow. Been steeped in cables and crap trying to configure a Ronin for prime time. I'll test it out with your profile. Thanks again.
