I have calibrated, to the best of my ability, the color matrix adjustments on my HM650. These are for the standard color matrix, and should be compatible with the HM600/620/650/660/850/890. The calibrations were done using 3200k preset and halogen lighting. I am also providing FCPX color correction settings for further improvements to the grayscale.
Please note that when using PRESET on these JVC cameras, there is a severe global green shift of the image. On the FCPX preset, you will see a global color adjustment of 306 degrees at 3%. That specific correction moves the white balance from the green to dead center on the vectorscope. If you shoot using a push to white A or B value, or I believe FAW, then that global adjustment is not necessary. I find it much simpler to utilize a preset temperature, so that I can easily apply this preset to all clips as a pregrade/correction effect.
JVC HM650 STANDARD COLOR MATRIX ADJUTMENTS
(Hue Saturation Lightness)
RED 0 0 0
YELLOW +1 +3 10
GREEN -5 +8 0
CYAN -5 +10 +10
BLUE 0 0 -10
MAGENTA -5 +6 +10
Below shows a stock HM650 color matrix at preset 3200k, then the color matrix adjustments and FCPX corrections, and a side by side of the before and after. To make a preset, just add these values to a clip and click the Save Effects Presets button at the bottom of the right panel.
