Matching two Canon cameras (xlh1 & xha1) color

How to match xlh1 with xha1 footage?
Shooting a stage with colored lighting with these two cameras at different angles are giving me slightly different colors. What am I doing wrong? I'm only doing basic white balance..inside white balance.

Mr. X exaggerates, a little.
No cameras match exactly, not even the same models, that's the nature of the electronic beast, but through charting and and a good operators eye, you can line them up very close. When you begin to shoot at the same subject at different angles, then reflectance values vary as well.
Those are fairly nice Canon cameras and who knows how they are set up with regards to their colorimetry, however, if they were charted first to something like a DSC Labs Chrome du Monde or a stepped gray-scale chart at the very least, they'd match very very close.
Can you post stills of each camera?

  • IPhoto won't import pics from either of two Canon cameras all of a sudden.

    I plug the Canon camera into the USB and attempt to import pics as have always done.  Currently have 18,000 pics so have done this lots before.  All of a sudden, the camera shows up on the left side of the screen, the pictures show up, but I can't get the IMPORT ALL or IMPORT SELECTED to activiate.  I disconnect the camera (appropriately) and try to exit out of iPhoto only to have a warning tell me to wait until Import is complete.  No photos ever show up and no import ever completes.  I can't force quit so have to hard quit and restart my computer.  What to do?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • My new MAC 10.10.3 will not recognize my Canon cameras or my Kodak camera.  Help from the Geek Squad was useless.

    My iMAC 10.10.3 Yosemite will not recognize any of my two Canon cameras or my Kodak camera.  What's the solution?

    Can you temporarily connect some other USB device to verify that your PowerBook's USB ports are in working order? Do you have another computer to which your camera can be connected to verify that a working USB connection is being made from the camera?
    If we can somehow eliminate a hardware issue, then you can focus on software. Have you tried creating a new admin user account? If the new account recognizes your camera, it would narrow the problem down to something within your regular user account.

  • STRANGE: two Canon Vixia Hg20 cameras, only one is recognized by FCP

    I have two Canon Vixia HG20 cameras and 2 iMac 3.06 GHz Intel dual core computers. Both have Final Cut Pro 6.0.5 (latest update for that version).
    The mystery: Final Cut Pro used to recognize both of the cameras, but now it only recognizes one. I've tried both cameras on both computers with the same USB cable, and I get teh same result every time. I try to log and transfer, but it can only detect the one camera. Both iMacs show the camera as an icon on the desktop and I can see there are files on the drive. I can see ".cpi" and ".mts" files on the drive. I've tried restarting the computer, restarting the cameras, waiting 15 minutes. I go through the exact same process with the same model camera but get two different results.
    Obviously, something must have happened to the second camera. Perhaps it wasn't disconnected properly? Perhaps files were pulled off, or maybe something placed on it? Perhaps it is recording in a different format?

    I was going to suggest you copy the contents of both of the cards to the Mac and see if you can import from there. But, umm, I don't even know if that's possible.
    I'd start by formatting both cards, twice, in the camera. Open the cameras and identify each card, camera 1 and camera 2. Put a piece of masking tape on each camera and write a 1 and 2 on the tape. Go through each camera's menus carefully setting and matching each of the shooting parameters.
    Make a card that say CAMERA 1 and shoot two minutes of it. Do the same with camera 2.
    Now you have a binary system that can yield repeatable and trackable results.

  • Canon ICC profiles and color printing issues

    I use two Canon printers -- an all-purpose MP460 and a iP4000 for photos.
    I use Canon's Photo Paper Plus Glossy II paper and Canon inks.
    I print with color management off in the "Print Settings" and by selecting the ICC profile from the drop down in the Aperture print window.
    Since updating to Snow Leopard, the MP460 prints images that are consistently dark using the "SP" ICC profiles.
    The iP4000 has an issue in that it prints images from Aperture with magenta cast in areas of yellow to orange tones.
    I have had prints made through online services that have come back accurate, so I am wondering . . . is this a Canon profile or driver issue? I haven't tried printing from Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as of yet.
    Any suggestions?
    It is very, very frustrating since prints from these printers were fine before Snow Leopard.

    I have a Canon IP5200 and had numerous problems with Aperture printing from OS X10.6.2.
    In November Canon came out with new print drivers. With SNL 10.6.2 update and new canon drivers my prints come out pretty well using canon's ICC profiles. I use the PR3 canon ICC with Costco (Kirkland) paper and am pleased with the results. Hope that helps

  • My images from my canon camera are to warm when viewed in LR4

    When I load my images into light room 4 the color is not correct. However the color is correct when they are viewed using the Canon software, Tiffen DFX and other programs. My monitor is calibated using Huey Pro. I use a Canon 7D and shoot RAW exclusively.

    Could be a calibration or profile or an expectation issue, or even a bug.
    Are your Huey profiles ICC4 or something less?  LR has had issues with ICC4 profiles.  Are you using a wide-gamut monitor?  Are you using dual monitors of different models and  calibrations?
    Have you tried all the camera-match profiles in the Camera Calibration area?  Adobe-rendering will never be exactly the same as Canon-rendering but the profiles with the Camera prefix attempt to match the Canon rendering insomuch as a profile can do this.
    Does the warmth issue happen for tungsten and daylight/flash lighting or more just one of those?
    Are you using a custom-WB measured by the camera and using As Shot in LR or something else?
    Can you give us a side-by-side screen-shot that shows the LR and the DPP version, and perhaps provide a sample raw file and DPP-rendered JPG for download using www.dropbox.com or the like?

  • I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface

    Hi,  I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface.
    I have recently installed the new camera profile 'Studio Portrait' which i download from here:
    http://www.canon.co.jp/imaging/picturestyle/file/studio-portrait.html
    When I open up a RAW files in Camera RAW, go to 'Camera Calibration', click on the drop down list called
    'Camera Profile'  I only see  'Adobe Standard, Faithful etc etc'.
    My questions are, can i add the same camera profile i put in my camera, into a folder with in photoshop?
    Or is photoshop reading the raw file and only seeing the default camera profiles?
    If I could see the new camera profile listed it would help with work flow.
    Best
    JL-B
    Please help, ive not had a good time waiting on the phone and trying to explain this to a live chat, hours have been wasted. Once i know the answer I can get back to the commission.

    Are you following this
    Apply a camera profile
    To apply a camera profile, select it from the Camera Profile pop-up menu in the Camera Calibration tab of the Camera Raw dialog box. The Adobe Standard profile for a camera is named Adobe Standard. Camera Matching profiles include the prefix Camera in the profile name. The Camera Profile pop-up menu displays only profiles for your camera.
    If the only profile in the Camera Profilemenu is Embedded, it means that you have selected a TIFF or JPEG image. Adobe Standard and Camera Matching profiles work only with raw images.
    Note:  If you have selected a raw file and Adobe Standardand Camera Matching profiles do not appear in the Camera Profilepop-up menu, download the latest Camera Raw update. 

  • Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos.

    Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos. Occasionally it will recognize and download photos, most of the time though it hangs in "loading" mode with nothing downloaded. I've unplugged, replugged numerous times, tried a different USB port, tried the two cameras so it's not the camera or line that's the issue, turned the computer off, turned iphoto off, turned everything else off and stil nothing. I need my photos for my work and can't get to them, this seems to be an issue with Maverick AGAIN!!! Is there a fix? HELP! Thanks!

    iPhoto Version 9.5.1
    Thank you for your help Terence. I had 140 photos on my Nikon, none were viewable in iphoto, in Image Capture 5 were viewable, 135 weren't. I tried importing one to my desktop but it remained static and didn't move over. I just deleted all the photos on my camera, took a fresh photo and after waiting a good 4 minutes finally uploaded to both iphoto and Image Capture. As this took so long for one photo I'm wondering if the memory in my computer would impact the speed. I have 350GB used and 150GB left
    By reformat the cards do you mean the flash card in the camera? I don't know how to do that, it's less that 6 months old.  

  • Using avchd clips from a canon cam - finally figured it out

    hello happy forumers,
    a few weeks ago I posted looking for help in getting premiere pro to recognize the correct frame rate of the clips I imported from my canon vixia HF11 avchd cam. the problem was: the 24 fps clips were listed as 29.97 in the project window; consequently, they played fine in a source "audition" window, but when put into a 24f sequence window they stuttered.
    I thought that the stuttering was because premiere thought the clips were 29.97 and the sequence was set at 24, so it was trying to compensate as it went. I was partially right in that a mismatch was the cause, but not the mismatch I thought.
    turns out that the canon hf11, hf10 and some of the sony cams don't really shoot in true 24f progressive. they have a SETTING called 24p, as well as a 30p, BUT, in actual fact they are STILL SHOOTING AT 60i (interleaved) but affecting some sort of a 24frames "look". Without getting into how much that pisses me off since neither canon nor anyone in any store will tell you this, the correct sequence setting to use when working with these clips is 60i non-anamorphic.
    you can also fool premiere into treating the clips as 24p clips by right clicking on the file, selecting interpret footage - setting it to 23.976 and in the field order selecting no fields, but then they run in slo-mo, unless I'm doing something wrong.
    I hope this saves some of you the months of nail-chewing I went through trying to edit your avchd video on an underpowered system.....
    gh

    hello kaiserboy
    not sure what you're asking. as far as I've been told, the 24fp settings are not true 24 in any way shape or form, they're 60i, plain and simple, with some sort of 24 simulation. following is the email I got from dhelmly - a top gun for premiere development at adobe.
    as far as my experience working with the clips for the last few weeks, I'm having great luck working in a 60i non-anamorphic sequence, and exporting in whatever format I choose - mostly h264 mp4. it looks great - I'm very happy with the output quality, although I get a few artifacts when viewing my clips before export. I assume this is due to my system being underpowered (a macbook pro).
    regarding drives, I've discovered that the smoothest playback comes when using my laptop's internal drive, followed closely by a cheapo USB2 drive! lastly by any firewire 800 drive, which skips and stutters unacceptably - raid or not. go figure.
    "Your camera actually shoots in 60i not 24 frames (23.976) It's really more of an effect than a frame rate. However - you can fake out Premiere to match the Canon effect. Choose the AVCHD>1080P@24 FPS Preset. Import your footage from the Media Browser by dragging the clips from the browser to you Project Bin. Next select a clip and Right Mouse Click and choose Interpret Footage, select the Assume this Frame rate option and change to 23.976 (not 24) and in the same dialog window choose Field Order>No Fields Progressive Scan. Now when you drag the clip the to the sequence it should not Redline and it should give you the 24 frame look. if it Redlines then a setting is off. I tried it here on my mac and the Canon HF10 and it worked fine.Keep in mind that the actual footage is 60i(or 59.94 to be exact). canon and Sony both have these 24 Frame look modes. The Panasonic 150 does native 24 but is much more $$. Always remember to use the Media Browser when working with Tapeless Media. We rely on onthe XML data in those folder to tell us more about the files. More cool stuff coming - lots going on in the lab. AVCHD playback will bet much better as we get to true 64 bit (OSX 10.6 & Win7) and GPU. The next gen stuff I'm seeing in the labs now is totally amazing -I've been hear nearly14 years and a Premiere user for nearly 19 years and I'm blown away - Not due out for while yet but it will be worth the wait. Mac & Win users will very happy indeed."

  • Downloading photos from Canon camera to computer

    I'll try to be brief. I was using iPhoto 1 or 2 and downloading photos without problems from an older Canon SD 400. Unfortunately I can't remember doing anything special but one day, the computer, or rather, iPhoto, did not see the camera. I could see the camera in the System Profiler. OK, so I wanted a new camera. I bought a new Canon SD1100 IS. It would not transfer photos. BTW, I was able to transfer photos from everyone else's non-Canon cameras. OK, I decided to bite the bullet and bought and installed iLife '08. Besides, I needed a newer version of iPhoto to transfer photos to my iTouch. Still no go. After much ado, I even got a new camera from Canon. Now I had also installed at some point, software for my HP camera (don't get one)but before trying the new camera, I uninstalled that software. Several restarts later and I finally had to get a little multi-card reader which shows up in iPhoto as MY CANON CAMERA! Any ideas? Thanks.

    Make sure that the camera is set to the correct USB protocol. There are two: Mass Storage and PTP. I’m not sure which is the correct one, but whatever yours is set to, try the other one Consult the manual on your camera for details.
    But you are better using your Card Reader for importing. There is no risk of an incomplete import(due to the camera shutting down, for example) and it also saves wear and tear on the Camera ports.

  • Installed my new canon camera n trashed my old canon software but when i connected camera its telling me that connection software for another canon is running n software can't be launched

    Installed a canon A3400IS camera to my OS X Yosemite computer n trashed my old canon camera software but the when i connect the camera its telling me that the connection software for another canon is running and that the software cannot be launched

    Take a look at the specs of your camera:
    http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/cameras/powershot-camera-specials/powe rshot-sx500-is
    First, get yourself a decent brand (I have Verbatim and Sandisk) absolute minimum 4 GB, better 8 or 16 GB SDHC card, class 6 or higher (that number is in a little circle on the front of the card and means it can handle faster read/write speeds).
    Presumably, you are shooting in 1280 HD which will result in MUCH bigger file sizes. My camera does both 1280 HD as well as 1920 HD and in the latter, a 3 minute video easily uses up to 3 GB.
    Once you get a larger capacity card, you will be able to shoot up to 20 - 30 minute videos (depending on the card capacity - they have maximums). When I shoot video, I only use 16 and 32 GB cards. You might also call Canon and ask them two questions (or email their support, they're pretty good at answering):
    1. What is the maximum card capacity the SX500 can handle (cards can go to 32, 64, 128 GB)?
    2. What is the highest class number the camera can handle? (I said to get at least class 6; many more now come in class 10, and then there is a brand new version called UHS-1). If you get a card that is too fast, it will result in lower quality videos/pics. When I got my SX40, I called Canon and got their recommendations on cards because I was not happy with the quality output of the cards I had.
    And, lastly, make sure that, if you are using a card reader, it is fast enough to read whatever card class you will be using - that is important as that determines how long it takes it transfer the stuff to the computer. Also, I'd suggest using a USB card reader rather than attaching the camera - it makes it so much easier to handle and saves the camera battery.
    Start with these suggestions and you'll find that you'll be happy with the output of your camera.

  • Importing and editing footage with two different cameras

    I am editing a film that has footage caught and imported from two different cameras. Some of the footage is from a handheld HD camera that I have worked with before and use an "Easy Setup of Apple Intermediate Codec, 29.97 fps, HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60." I want to add some video footage that I shot with my Canon Rebel t2i. I searched a number of threads and concluded that when working with a project shot with the t2i, I should have the the Easy Setup be "HD, 29.97fps, DVCPRO HD 1080p30" (side question: is this correct?). My question is when starting a project where I will be using footage from both cameras, what Easy Setup should I use and is there anything else I should keep in mind?

    Shane-- Thanks for the willingness to help. I am in Helena, but travel all over the state for work--I am a fly fishing and bird hunting guide who likes to do some amateur filming and editing on the side. Love Missoula, Bozeman, Flathead area, etc! And since you are willing to be so helpful, I guess I should start with a go Cats!
    I am brand new to FCP, having previously worked a fair amount with FCE4. I actually do have FCP 7 and work with it on my Macbook Pro. My handheld camera is a JVC Everio that captures in AVCHD (1920x1080). I had my Easy Setup in FCE4 as Apple Intermediate Codec. If I use footage from this camera in FCP7, should I continue to do this?
    So not only am I new to FCP7, but I just bought the T2i and really am not totally sure what I am doing yet. I just got the Canon EOS Movie Plug-in and modified it according to some threads I read so that it works for the T2i. I also found directions on the Canon website on the proper way to Log and Transfer for T2i footage (side question: can I dump the files off my T2i onto an external HD and then Log and Transfer them into FCP7 from the external, and is there anything I need to know about when doing this?)
    So now that you know that I am very knew to FCP7 and the T2i, maybe I should start from scratch. When I log and transfer, what format should I use when I transcode? ProRes 442? And then, however you suggest I should transcode, what should my Easy Setup look like for footage from the T2i?
    Wow, if you are still reading at this point, and I haven't exhausted you with all of my questions and naivety, my final question is...once I have become comfortable with importing and editing footage from the T2i, what should I do if I want to log and transfer and then edit footage from both cameras? Do I need to change the Easy Setup? Do I need to make other changes?
    Thanks again in advance for all of your help and patience!!!

  • Two different Cameras premiere E4 questions

    Please help! I recorded my friends band and I used two different cameras to do the recording. One stationary recorded a wide shot of the band and the other mobile I had with me. I used the mobile one to do closeups then used the audio and video from the wide shot and did clips of just the lined up video of the mobile one. It looks great! So what is the problem. Well a couple things, I am using Premiere Elements 4. How do I save this project at a high resolution for the web (YouTube) also how do I save it to burn it to DVD? 
    Finally the really tricky question, the one camera was shot in widescreen format the other full screen. I would like to be able to crop and enlarge the full to make it a wide. I don't want to make the wide a full if I don't have to, because it will crop out band members.
    (I don't really understand the whole picture/pixel/ratio thing)
     Keep in mind this was my first shot at something like this I am trying to get down the actual technical process and I have Ideas of how to approach the shooting aspect in the future to improve it. Any input would help. Here is the link to what I have uploaded so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfzjeHwKf38   I don't get why it is so small with crappy resolution, in premiere Elements it looks good. And here are the specs on the cameras:

    For YouTube settings, I'd go to the FAQ sub-forum, found on the right-hand side of the main forum page. There are suggestions there. Note: YouTube will re-encode whatever you upload, and they change their requirements monthly, if not sooner.
    Now for the Widescreen vs Standard question. I assume that you used WideScreen, when you set up your Project. Is that correct?
    First thing that I would look at would be to use Interpret Footage for the Standard Clips. Do one first, and choose 16:9 in Interpret Footage. How does this look? Only you can make that call.
    If the band looks too fat, then we'll move on to Plan B. Go to one of your Standard Clips, and Select it. Go to Effects, and then Edit Effects. Look for the fixed Effect>Motion. Twirl it open and then go to Scale. Increase this, until the Frame fills the width of the Frame. This will also effectively Crop the vertical. If you need to alter how that Crop is seen, go to Effect>Motion>Position, and move the Frame up, or down to suit.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • C40 with Canon Cameras and embedded picture

    Hi All,
    I have got a Cisco C40. We have two Canon XA25 cameras already in place (for a different application). 
    Ideally we would like to use the Canons. We will split and video feed from the Canons to goto C40. Can we push out (to the other end) both the cameras together? So the Main Camera feed with a secondary camera feed embedded on it?
    Faraz.

    As Patrick has said, the C40 doesn't support showing both cameras at once.  The "Compositor" functionality that can do this is only available on the larger C60, C90 or SX80 endpoints, but not the baby endpoints.  The layouts on the larger endpoints can be manipulated with the TC Console software.
    But, for your solution, you could feed both external cameras in to an external picture-in-picture device, then feed that as a single "camera" feed to the endpoint.  We've been doing that for many years with different devices in a number of our rooms and on multiple camera mobile VC trolleys, from back in the older days with old 4:3 analogue devices (Kramer PIP-200XL) and more recently with full HD cameras and PiP (Extron DVS 605).

  • I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

    I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

    Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.
