Preset to match XL2 to DVX?

However it'd be nice to see proper settings for both DVX and XL2. These are settings for just XL2.
Are they made to match default settings for DVX?

Hi,
I know this is an old thread, but where it says "WB: warm 1 (wb to light blue)," is that white balancing to a blue card, or is that a setting I missed in the camera? If its an actual blue card, is it a reference to the warm cards sold by Studio1?

You can white balance to something light blue or use the warm cards. I actually made a series in photoshop where I sampled colors from certain warm cards as well as various other colors and printed them on card stock with a quality laser printer. Buy a can of clear matte sealer at a craft store and you've got a cheap alternative thats pretty accurate.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the process. There are so many shades of blue though, obviously, and I was wondering if this was a reference to a specific card. One of the cards sold by Studio1 is actually called warm 1.

Marco,

That's how I read it, it would be nice to be able to adjust the color temperture in camera.

Bill

BTW; I made my own warm cards as well, althought now I have been using a 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 CTB gels to warm thing up.
