PMW-350 - Film-like look?

Post by sigerson » April 12th, 2011, 2:26 pm

Hi everyone, in case anyone remembers my camera's viewfinder developed a magenta/pink hue to the viewfinder. It's been fixed by Sony Servicing and is back in action. They replaced the actual LCD screen inside it so I guess that was the problem.

Anyhow, I've been asked to set the camera to use film-like settings and I was wondering what the best settings to use for that would be? I have looked at the setup tips from the website and what I selected were the following:

HG gamma at 4609
Detail level at -14
H/V Ratio +20
Detail Frequency +35
White Limit +35
Black Limit +30
Aperture -20
Crispening +35
Level Depend +20

Shooting would be HQ 1920 at 29.97P (I chose 29.97P as we are shooting this for broadcast rather than the 23.97P). Would anyone agree/disagree with these settings?

The PP settings are fine, but few broadcasters use 29.97P. It's normally either 24P, 25P, 50i or 60i.
