Why variations in colour with constant white balance and exposure settings a7rii?


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I usually shoot product in a studio with Bowens strobes and xrite color checker profiles, for my wife's shoe company, habbotstudios.com.  I usually have excellent colour reproduction with this workflow.

 

I am looking to take my photography out of the studio into mixed light conditions and have a question about white balance variations.

 

I have attached three simple test shots, low res, identically framed and with the same camera settings.  I was wondering why they were rendered by the camera with distinctly different colours.  The middle of the three shots is clearly more green.  I took the shots in continuous shooting : low, because, I will be shooting a model under constant light and will want to shoot at a fast frame rate to capture small changes in her stance.

 

Settings were

1/50

f5.6

ISO 10000

White Balance 3800K M2 (set via a white balance custom test shot)

 

Shot on a sony a7rii with an FE 2.8/24-70 GM lens.

 

I realise that shooting RAW I can play with color in post, but I would like to start with consistency in my color use in camera.

 

Thanks for any help.  It is much appreciated.

    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
    • Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
