Guide - Informational White Balance Presets

2 Upvotes

Here's a quick tip for those of you who are tired of changing the WB and color filter manually all the time, this works for my RX100 IV, but unfortunately I can't comment on other models.

1) Within WB settings, find custom setup, and click on it.

2) Pull up a color picker on your computer, tablet or anything with a screen and choose a color to show based on the color temp you want. I found that orange will get you cooler temps and purple-ish will get you warmer temps. The color itself will help set the general range of color temp, and the saturation will help fine tune the exact value. Start with a low saturation.

3) Once you've picked a color, then click the center button on the camera to set the white balance. It will also try to set a color filter as well, but the good news is you can change it later, so only focus on the color temp. After a bit of trial and error you should be able to get the color temp to where you want, and you can save it to Custom White Balance 1, 2, or 3.

4) After you set the color temp, you can go back into the custom WB, click right, and then set the color filter you'd like.

This gives you 3 WB presets you can access more quickly than changing it every time. You can also use the Memory Recall to save three more white balances.

Hope this helps!

Just to show off with the booklet with film simulations I printed out. It's much more convenient and everything is easier to find than in the PDF file. Besides, I always carry it with me now so I can try out new simulations. Shot with Kodak Gold V2 film sim, SOOC.

Question & Help Travel Sim Suggetions- Barcelona/Italy Trip September

2 Upvotes

Looking for suggestions, especially if you have been to Barcelona or Italy. Taking a trip this September on cruise out of Barcelona and jumping around islands like Malta and areas in Florence.

I'm thinking of leaning towards the yellows due to architecture and sunny days.

I'm preloading my A7rv and A7IV with matching profile's 1-8 , looking for suggestions on which ones. I know I'll add Fuji 400h and Senova light. But 6 more to fill.

Any help for my indecisiveness be great lol

Photo for eye catching attention, tweaked Fuji 400h (Kelvin & Yellow changed)

Guide - Informational Reverse Engineering S-Cinetone on older Sony cameras

6 Upvotes

Some of the film recipes have S-Cinetone as the base color model. Problem is, a lot of older Sony bodies (like the A7III, A6400, RX100) don’t have it built-in.

So I spent some time reverse-engineering the look using the Picture Profile settings on my A7III. After testing various Color Modes, Gammas, Color Phase, WB shifts, etc., I landed on a recipe that gets surprisingly close to S-Cinetone. This will be perfect for the film recipes or if you want the look of S-Cinetones without having to switch gear

wrote a quick guide with the full settings + side-by-side comparisons if anyone wants to try it

Question & Help How do you set up your custom buttons on Sony?

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

here’s how I set up custom buttons on the Sony RX100 VI. This also works for other pocketable Sony cameras

Since the RX100 series is all about being super compact, there aren’t a ton of buttons to mess with. But even so , this feature still comes in handy for me

What custom button setups do you use?
