Freddie,

Could you tell me please when you recorded all your clips for each pre-set did you use a manual white balance, auto or bright sunlight 5,600k setting?

Regards

Mick

[Freddie Hoekerd]

The setting was 5,600k

The sheet is called "v.20060604" in order to keep track of its date. I hope it grows up to be a lot bigger!

The actual .CPF files to follow in other posts below.

*updated 2006 / 05 / 20 -- added B&WJECTA and OLEGWARM*
*updated 2006 / 05 / 30 -- added DVXMATCH, EOSPHOTO, NATURALO and OUTSIDEN*
*updated 2006 / 06 / 04 -- added PANALOOK

This post (and the Excel file) is 3 years old. Is there an updated one floating around somewhere?

Hey all,

Just got my XH A1S today--I'm stoked.

I loaded all 18 presets onto the Canon-provided SD card into a PRESETS folder. The camera shows "DATA ERR" for 1-7, but 8-18 are fine. Any ideas?

[Aaron Scheiner]

The camera's quite sensitive to anything out of the ordinary on the SD card, I think that includes the archive and read only attributes.

If it helps, there's a tasty video here that shows 18 presets in action :

and there's a whitepaper on Canon's website describing the different options available in custom presets : http://downloads.canon.com/cpr/softw...ImageSetup.pdf .

:)

I have an HVX200 preset I created for my XHA1. Since the settings adjustments are different and the presets are incompatible I cant use it with my newly purchased XLH1. The way I set up the HVX preset was on multi-camera shoot. The production company I mainly freelance for has an HVX and we had it and my XHA1 hooked up to a calibrate-able production monitor. We aimed both cameras at the same scene and tweaked settings while swapping back an fourth between the two cameras on the monitor until they reasonably matched. It worked out pretty well. I can probably do the same thing with my boss's HVX at the office on a test pattern. Is this a good method for creating a preset? Does anyone know if there is an HVX200 setting around for download for the XLH1?

[John Chance]

Stephen,

According to the Excel Spreadsheets for each camera's presets a general rule for the color settings is that the XH A1 is 4x's higher than the XL H1. As an example:

XH Custom Preset
PANALOOK NAME
CINE2 GAMMA
LOW KNEE
MIDDLE BLACK
-7 MASTER PED.
-1 SETUP LEVEL
1 SHARPNESS
MIDDLE H DTL FREQ
0 DTL HV BAL
0 CORING

OFF NR2
CINE2 COLOR MAT.
4 COLOR GAIN
0 COLOR PHASE
8 R GAIN
8 G GAIN
12 B GAIN
0 RG MATRIX
0 RB MATRIX
0 GR MATRIX
0 GB MATRIX
0 BR MATRIX
0 BG MATRIX

XLH1 Custom Preset
PANALOOK NAME

-1 SETUP LEVEL
1 SHARPNESS
MIDDLE H DTL FREQ
0 DTL HV BAL

You can download the Excel Spreadsheets to compare them yourself. XH A1 here: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-xh...rary-copy.html
It's the first attached file in the first post.

XL H1 here: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-xl...d-library.html
Same deal.

OpenOffice.org - The Free and Open Productivity Suite is a free program that'll allow you to view these.

Could you please post your HVX200 preset for the XH A1? Did you use the Cinelike D gamma & Cine-like color matrix on the HVX? Thanks.

Hi,

so I downloaded all the Custom Preset files, which I would like to thank for.
But the first 7 01-07 seem to have some kind of a issue. When I try access the files I receive a Data Error.
Now the rest work fine! Any advice? Thanks
