Select the Color Matrix (if a [Preset] setting was not selected):

[Main Settings] > [Color Matrix]

The color matrix affects the overall color tonality of the image and

can be useful when matching with other cameras from Canon or

even different manufacturers.

[Neutral]: Reproduces colors faithful to the colors of the subject. The colors

are calibrated to those, which are stipulated by the ACES

standard (that is, to the characteristics applying when subjects

have been shot using a camcorder with ideal characteristics). The

images similar to the EOS C500 3G-SDI output (but not with the

BT.709 color gamut) are created.

[Video]: Reproduces the colors of an EOS C300/EOS C500 camera with

no custom picture settings applied. Images similar to when CP is

OFF for the XF series or CINEMA EOS series are created.

[Cinema EOS Original]:

Images similar to the EOS C500 3G-SDI output (with the BT.709

color gamut) or with the Cinema Locked setting of the EOS

C300/C500 are created.

[Production Camera]: Reproduces colors more suitable for motion picture

production. The colors are calibrated to the images, which are

similarly displayed when the Arriflex ALEXA is set to Log C color

processing.

[EOS Standard]: Approximates the look of an EOS digital SLR when the picture

style is set to [Standard].

[Off]: Colors are not adjusted. Matrix Off: The colors are calibrated to

the Matrix OFF setting of Ikegami’s cameras and the F55.
