What are the best setting for daylight?
• The HF10/HF100/HF11 can suffer from a magenta / purple cast in bright daylight conditions. Therefore I recommend to check various W/B settings for each scene if condition are very bright (e.g. compare AUTO to daylight or cloudy). Note that if you leave it in shade W/B and forget to change it back your recordings might become way too red (so keep checking until you put it back to AUTO W/B). Example where I did this is http://vimeo.com/1850797 where I alternated now and then. If this is too much hassle then an alternative is to leave it in Auto W/B mode and do PP afterwards if needed for some scenes. I found it’s fairly easy to correct the colors by lowering blue channel and if needed adjust red channel as well using color curve. See example here: http://vimeo.com/905817. Note: make sure your display is calibrated (e.g. white is really white). Otherwise you’re adjusting against your display only. • Alternative to above: manual W/B which should give you most ‘accurate’ W/B. However note
