acuriousman Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I want my colors (JUST COLORS) to be more like a Canon's using my GH2 and Adobe Premeire. How do I do that? Some examples of what I want to recreate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peederj Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 What Panasonic (+hacks) gives the low-end shooter in resolution they take away in color. You will need some sort of LUT-based correction, but if all you've got is 8-bit 420 to work within it's going to be rough. The Panasonics don't offer Log gammas either iirc, and you might get in-camera sharpening/NR artifacts showing up too with too extreme a push. The easiest and cheapest thing to do might be buying a 2nd hand Rebel T2i. You'll also get better DoF and low-light thrown in the package, and you can run Cinestyle on it for better DR. For all the complaining about Canon (some justified) the color is the best in the biz objectively and subjectively. Zach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOONGOAT Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Reduce contrast and saturation. And then I ask; why do you want to emulate the style so many are trying to avoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I agree with you about the Canon colors. Of course colors can be manipulated in post, but straight out of the camera the colors are very nice on Canon cameras. It's just a shame they have such mushy resolution. I don't understand why they can't fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
