Sony HDR-FX1 with the century optics fisheye.

I shoot in HDV 1080i. in the PICTURE PROFILE I have the COLOR LEVEL at +7 and have cinema tone on. and other than that I always shoot in manual mode and am constantly changing the iris and shutter speed as the lighting changes.

hope that helps. if you ever have any questions about this camera I can try and help I've been using it for 3 years now.

cool. then you should put the camera in manual mode (it's the little switch under the cassette tape door) put the switch in the middle. then you can manually adjust the white balance, shutter speed, gain, and iris. all of these functions are used to adjust the lighting and colors. it explains how to do all of these in the instruction manual. it's a little confusing at first but once you get the hang of it you will be glad you learned. because the colors can look amazing if you set all these. if you any help on how to adjust any of those settings don't hesitate to ask.

oh yea and the PRESET A B is the whitebalance. you can make your own white balance presets.

you switch it to one of those and then press the white balance button on the side and then put a white piece of paper in the lighting. and zoom into it and then press the button that has two triangles with a square in the middle and hold it until you notice a color change. that is how you white balance.

then you can go into the picture profile settings and go to WB shift and you can give your picture more of a yellow tint or more of a blue tint. i like a little yellow tint to my picture.

hope this helps!

you push the shutter speed button on the side and then to the left of the battery. use the SEL/PUSH EXEC scroller to go up and down.
