Sven Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hello! As other has mentioned when recording video there is a colorshift as soon as you press the rec-button on G6. When comparing a photo jpeg to the h264-file the colors differ a lot, its like magenta is replaced with yellow, red tones towards magenta look orange. When trying to match in Final Cut by adding magenta I got a magenta cast in the rest of the image.. In 5d2RGB I tried different settings to transcode the h264-file, found a fix!, When using "ITU-R BT.601" in Decoding Matrix magenta gets back and the image looks almost exactly like the still-jpeg (and correct). Attatched images is exported frames from Premiere Pro CS6, they look the same i Final Cut 7. I was about to give up on the G6, the skin colors looked so weird. (picture profile: Portrait -5-1-1 0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 The G6 is superb little camera I shoot Natural -3 , 0 -3 ,0 or Natural -5, 0 -5, 0 (which I have stored as a custom setting , its a flatter profile and gets better blacks less contrast) and I get good skin tones , I dont ever shoot Portrait as it crushes the blacks and colours too much All Panny cameras seem to have a colour shift when you hit the record button , it has never bothered me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Yes it's a great camera! I recently did a documentary and the ergonomics are great together with the 12-35 2.8 lens (besides the hard eye-cup...) I used to shoot with natural but switched to try to see if skintones improved, but now with this fix I will go back to natural I think. Try the fix, your skin tones might get even better! :) According to this test, natural and portrait has about the same dynamic range but portrait has more red present. http://gro.solexiv.de/2014/02/panasonic-g6-color-profiles/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascal Garnier Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 After going through various threads online and extensive testing, I always transcode with BT.709 and full range. Shooting profile is Natural -5 -5 0 -5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
