p.2 #1 · White balances between multiple cameras not equal?

No didn't expect it. Just curious if it was typical for it to be so different.



Another example. Well 2 actually.

Shot 6 D7000's last 2 years doing video and photo with them. After doing our first major video with them we had a pain in the ass time editing matching colors and exposures. All 6 were off by 500k or less and 1/3 of a stop or so.

Example, camera 1 shooting the same exact scene so everything was the same as for lighting. Settings were ISO 400, Shutter 1/200th, f 5.6. WB K 4200. Camera 2 was ISO 400 Shutter 1/250th, f5.6 WB K 4550. And so on with the other cams. What we ended up doing was putting a cheat sheet on each camera so know if we needed to go + or - for WB and exposure from the main camera to match things when shooting video. And this was the same damn camera models.

I did a job with a guy a few months ago who was shooting Canon, me Nikon and someone else was doing Fuji. To get the same exposure we were all using different ISO's with the same F4 1/200th shutter. Weird that every camera sees things different even when they are the same.

Oh yeah the color is a lot different between Canon and Nikon. Even between Canon & Nikon themselves. For example, even between D700 and D800.

It is a bless if the second is using the same camera as yours. Save lots of time.
