Hello Everyone,
The issue I've found is when shooting in lighting conditions where the environmental light colour is wildly different to that set by raw2dng, there is a need to adjust the Camera Calibration Tab inside of ACR.
I have attached the original DNG file in question as well as screen grabs of ACR with:
1. As Shot - White Balance @ 6200K
2. Auto - White Balance @ 2850K
3. Custom - White Balance @ 2100K ( Notice green/yellow colour cast on the face )
4. Camera Calibration - Green Primary - Hue to 100%
I was videoing my 10 month old in her bright green and yellow walker in my apartment living-room under halogen and florescent lighting in the evening. I would characterise the colour temperature to be very warm.
I was shooting with a 5D Mark III with the June 15th ML nightly build.
I've only ever noticed this issue when shooting under artificial lighting. While I do set the white balance in camera, this information is not written into the raw files. ( I read somewhere raw2dng.exe assigns 6200K during extraction? )
While setting a standard wb is fine since it is adjustable after the fact, my adjustments are getting awfully close to the 2000K limit. Is there an option in raw2dng to assign a different wb value?
Also, adjustment of the Camera Calibration Tab is worrying because I have never had adjust this with my other videos shot with day-light or something closer to 6200K.
Has anyone else had this issue come up?
Cheers,
Derek
