I had several fujifilm cameras because of the Classic Chrome. I came over a recepie on how to achive that CC on sony A7 cameras. And i gave it a try, and I was absolutely amazed! I now shoot the old A7 as often i can. This is how i did it: Creative Styles and chose Neutral and crank UP Contrast +2 Saturation -2 Sharpness +1 Custom WB 5600 kelvin and hit B1 and then youre set.

Auto white balance white is probably the best bet, because how a camera distinguishes white balance is by looking at the RGB values and determining which pixels are closest to equal RGB values, which is what would generally help determine white balance for a scene. The only place where this can mess up is if there is nothing white in a scene and it latches onto some other bright color that is the closest to white but isn't actually white, but even then, auto white balance can generally take that into account too. So it might see the closest colors to white is something that has RGB values of 230, 225, 202.....then takes those discrepancies and tries to balance them.

I work with food photography, so accurate colors are VITAL, you don't know just how quickly food can turn from yummy to yucky just because of the color. I used to use Canon and SOME colors would have a yellowish shift (I guess that's good for people colors). That colorcheckr passport was a real lifesaver. Now I'm a Fuji shooter and I'm often tempted to use jpegs only ngl. Still I want accuracy so I use the grey card every time. For everything else I just use the Fuji film simulations + recipes. It's very good fun and gives me beautiful almost-ready results.

Can't beat Canon color grades. I'm shopping for my first mirrorless camera and deciding between Canon M50 Mark II and the Sony ZV-E10. Comparing an outdoor picture, the Canon picture is real-to-life colors and the Sony pictures has the "blue" sky in a purple-ish hue and skin tones very magenta.

I wish I had a colour and gamma accurate LCD/EVF, because nothing else I have is colour calibrated, so idk if I'm nailing the vibrance or just shooting skittles at this point. Sometimes I use adobe RBG with Velvia just to be sure, but my gooey Costco prints have come out fine so far. I'm deliberating getting a Canon for video. I love the tones and colours, the usability, the AF, the size, the slide in ND EF adapter, but everyone has scared me into thinking they have the dynamic range of a crosswalk.

Sony is slow with WBalancing. Setting to fixed scene (sunny) can help. XRITE color pass is a must have for non electronically coupled lenses (vintage, manual focus). If lenses lack electronic coupling, the colors can be very bad and off. In the worst of the cases I take a cellphone image of a scene to take it home and compare this with my shots. Lastly, color judgement varies by time of the day very dramatically. I usually check colors at daytime and at nighttime twice.

Omar, to add to your informative video, I would create a profile for each camera/lens combo. Some lenses have different color cast, and I name my x-rite profile files with the body, lens, date and session name. Yes, I get many profiles and I save them in the same archive folder of the session. Thanks for another great video 🙏

Big score, Omar, I can relate with everything you bring up: Coming from Leica and Canon to Sony , I soon realised I was a spoiled kid. I hated A7M2 colors, then improved with A7M3. By side by side comparisons with A6400 however I found that the A7M3 display gets the colors totally wrong, every jpg turned out better on the iPad or print than they appeared on the display. BTW Canon lenses (I kept using some of them by help of a sigma mc-11 adapter) gave a much warmer tone and almost perfect skin tone! But then, like you, I discovered XT-20, coupled with XF16/1.4, 35/1.4 and 52/1.2, chose Film Simulation pro negative std, and ever since colors is no longer an issue for me! And yes, to achieve that to some extent on Sony, lower the contrast and raise the shadows, tone down the saturation a bit ( but that does not work too well for nature .

Can I have your Lightroom Profile for the Sony A7III? The one you calibrated the color with

I never use JPG. Shooting in raw with a custom camera profile is the way I do it. The same is true for printers. Once calibrated, there is no difference between different brands. I have made comparison tests with A7R4 and R5. The prints on my Canon Pro1000 just look the same. Of course this comes with additional work. Sometimes the difference is marginal and not worth the effort. There is a noticeable difference of JPG output between the different brands and is in most cases subjective.

Nice tips! I've switched from Fuji to Sony and IMHO biggest problems with Sony colors are Auto White Balance (for jpegs) and horrendous Lightroom profiles (for raws). These are my best solutions so far Jpeg - Standard and Vivid profiles are pretty accurate, with Standard being pretty close to Colorchecker calibrated profile (same as Fuji Provia), as long as white balance is correct. AWB with Priority White and M1 offset (on magenta-green scale) looks ok 80-90% of the time, but often I need to result predefined presets (like daylight) or setting a Kelvin value. Fuji was much better there since auto white balance was more reliable. Raw - using Capture One or Lightroom with Color Checker Dual Illuminant profile. Capture one does great job with Sony colors, especially with ProStandard profile, but custom made dual illuminant profile is even better. Either of these methods gives me great results, superior to the results I used to get with Fuji. But in the end, Sony is definitely still not a best choice for Jpeg-only shooters,even with all those tweaks applied.

If you must use AWB, AWB White Priority with B1-M0.5 bias works decent buy still not on Canon or Fuji levels. It can still miss a lot in certain circumstances. Once you have nailed WB, then you can have good JPEGs with many Creative Styles, and I like Standard, Vivid, Night, and Autumn Colors the most. EOSHD 5.0 is also great for emulating Canon colors. But getting with WB in-camera is the key to having good SOOC JPEGs, and Sony AWB is not as reliable as Canon or Fuji.

I currently have an a6400 & im planning to go Fuji while using my Sony for video as I’ve fallen into the same issue with photo edits being a headache with it (I do a lot of live steaming as well). Would you suggest I get the new Fuji xs10 or the x100v? I’m hearing the x simplifies the photo taking process a bit & seems to be more enjoyable. The xs reminds me quite a bit of my a6400.

XS10 easier for sure. Missing that Fuji flavor in the looks.

I only shoot Raw in both Sony and Fuji. I still find fuji lacking in jpeg. Again, that is how I see it. It is easier to get what I want in Lightroom or Capture 1 on both systems.

Such great scripting. Yes, once I calibrated monitor... omg, it was like night and day. I can't recommended that enough. It like a huge confidence boost when you tweak a color and know it will look good on everything, phones, TVs, tablets, etc. For video, I get better results and easier grading with a static white balance. You're absolutely right about how auto white balance works. The Sony cameras are great for run and gun with auto WB on but color grading is so much more difficult. 5000-5700 Kelvin is a good level, but I suggest to use a gray card or a color checker of you got one. Gray cards are under $10.

Great video Omar. DRO messes the raw file in a way as well. I kept wondering why my raw photos were so much darker then what was in camera. I Turned that off and now they look the same. Also , I decided to switch to capture one ( from Lightroom) and the starting point for raw files is so much better (even skin tones). I’m finding that there is way less work to get a pleasing result when editing.

Fuji colors are really good straight out of camera

@peoplez129

3 жыл бұрын

Fuji's good at making pleasing out of camera JPEG's, but Canon's good at truly accurate colors. And once you've mastered accurate color, you actually get more fidelity/detail out of an image, because shifting colors unnaturally can rob color channels of their true fidelity and editing latitude. One thing many people don't realize is that their straight out of camera RAW files, if processed outside of a color accurate profile, are actually like if your starting point is with slight adjustments to HSL already done, so it's like editing on top of already edited data. And as you might know, you can only adjust HSL soo far before it looks unnatural or clips. So you might be adding +20 to the saturation or luminance of orange, when it's already operating on a +20 by default. Which means if you bump it up to +81, you're technically over 100%. Now imagine that mine field when dealing with multiple colors in the HSL or calibration or Split toning panels. Needless to say, it can lead to some hard limitations in your capability to edit photo's, where certain colors/channels will clip long before they should or shift to improper hues that don't fully represent the hue you're targeting.

I get tired of people saying Sony has bad colors. I get amazing colors out of my a7Riv and a7Siii

Some great advice. I'm puzzeld as how Sony can provide such bad color management in their cameras. It's not the hardware, but the algorithm. For Sony every image needs to be manually color-corrected. As others state, it's always off, but it's much more of a problem when taking photos of scenes where the brain knows how they should look. I'm having issue with to much of a magenta cast in any image. I think that is the source of the green/yellow problems. Once I reduce the magenta (in combination with the correct WB to avoid greeen/yellow stains, which is a real manual chore as its slightly different for each image) the colors ín the images of an A7M4 are good.

That's a nice video, Omar. After shooting 2 years with my a73 I got fed up and I sold it. First, I was intending to upgrade to an a7r4 but the colours on Sony have always bothered me. I came from a Canon t3i before the a73 and I use to prefer the t3i with a cheap 18-55 standard lens over the Sony a73 with a 24-70 2.8gm. One thing that you mentioned that's true is the Sony sharpness. But the colours..omg...horrible. You've shone a light here for all the Sony users and honestly made me think about the a7r4 again. I bought a Canon m6 mk2 and I'm waiting for the lens to arrive so I can start testing it but I hadn't the courage to sell my Sony stuff (besides the camera that has gone) yet.

The month of May 2022 I see Capture One is presenting weekly sessions on using Capture One in workflow situations. e.g. Thursdays starting May 12.

Just a few observations. The worst color problems from Sony in my estimation are skin tones and green grass and trees. Perhaps because brain has very good memory how healthy tones should look like. The abstract colors, like street, architecture, etc. are fine because a normal person doesn't really have a good reference point to begin with. I don't feel the newer Sony cameras produce better colors by default. In my experience Sony A7Rii was the best and then the problems got worse, the third generation generally reduced saturation and colors look bland and diluted with white and require significant boost, and I think the worst colors right now are from A7Riv with something really ugly in the skin tones. X-rite generated color profiles sometimes look good sometimes bad, no consistency. I created many of them from different light sources, and still it doesn't solve the Sony color problem. They also seem to really screw out of gamut colors. The other observation, I also have Nikon Z5 camera and I almost never have to do anything to colors other than vibrance and saturation. I'm using Lightroom. So I think I will just sell my Sony and stay with Nikon until Sony solves this problem.

You have hit the nail on the head with everything to have said 100%. I owned the A7R3 and upgraded to the A7R4 thinking that the R4 coming out last year would have substantially better colours then the R3 that still used the R2 sensor. So a 2015 senor to a 2020 sensor, so five years of improvements. Not the case, the R4 raws are muted and have a ugly green/yellow cast nothing like the preview on the camera (through I think that the preview is a jpeg representation?). Greens are a nightmare not just in the skin tones but in landscape. I think I will do a pre-set as a starting point for most images, Nikon used to be my bread and butter and I enjoyed the first 11 years doing digital photography with Nikon never had these issues. But then I look at images on this video and they look fantastic so I need to learn more with my Sony. On a side note at the beginning of this video (with the Canon, Fuji and Sony images) the Fuji colours to me looked incredible!

Canon colors are nice, but why would Sony, Nikon, or Fujifilm want to change to Canon-like colors? Some/most of Sony users (and their clients) are perfectly fine with what they have within the adjustments that they can make. I'm a Sony shooter and have never owned a Canon, so I don't know what I'm missing.

@@TroyShields Agreed. Entirely. For the record I've been using Canon and Sony eqpt (stills and video).

There is nothing like “fixing the colors once and for all.” Film and video are emulation of real world, which means it shouldn’t be exactly the same as real life. Your necessities change all the time for different projects therefore there is nothing as the best colors for all. Also, for cameras with not so good color science you can tweak the colors however you want but even with a lut like the Emotive Color Arri lut, you still won’t get the same thing. That’s the fact at least for now.

Just use Capture One. It handles Sony colors a lot better than Adobe, no more weird skin tones

I love how your sony skin tones look! Do you create a profile every photo session?

Not all the time. Same flashes same gels. Only if there's red carpeting for example.

I don't like any of the colors, what do I do?

nice video! My issue is that I get a very noticeable green tint on all my images, even If I do a custom WB. The worst part is that is looks fantastic on the camera's LCD, but once I take the file to the computer or just wifi it to my phone, I get a very green, warm, washed out looking image. It's not my monitor or phone, trust me, the files always need quite a bit of tint correction to the magenta side. My only idea is to force that tint by missing with the WB, but then it'll look way too magenta on the camera...really frustrates me, cause I also would like to just shoot some jpegs when out with the family. Shooting A1...get the same results with the A7iii
