Matching a500 and 6300

[HankDG]

I'm doing an interview shoot with a 6300 as my front primary and a 5000 as my 2nd angle camera.  The a5000 has a Portrait Shoot Mode under scene selection.  I've found this setting to give the coloring and looking that I want.  I've tried to match the setting of the 5000 in the 6300 as best I can, but it doesn't seem to have the same presets.  The 6300 come in a little brighter and harsher on the skin tones.

 

I am a newbie!  What am I missing?  Is there a way to find out what the setting are that the 5000 is using in Portrait Shoot Mode, put both cameras in manual and match everything?

 

I've played around in post and can get them pretty close, but if there is a way to get them closer in the shoot I would like to.

 

Thanks for any input.

 

Cheers,

Hank

It sounds like indeed they have different presets. The A6300 is three years younger than the A5000.

 

I'd try using manual settings for both to get them to match. Even then there may be some differences.

Mebbe a solution lurks in the customizable 

Picture Styles. Might hafta quit "Portrait" as 

a "Shoot Mode" [aka "Scene"] and use the 

"Portrait" setting in the "Picture Styles" and 

tweak the 4 adjustable parameters in each 

camera's "Portrait" Picture Style until they 

hit a close enuf match.
