Camera Settings

Exact camera settings should be maintained for each camera that you might find yourself using, there can be a lot of ambiguity in different settings, so it's important to make things as clear as possible to both the production and the camera assistant what you would like when it comes to recording format, frame rates, and other settings.

Documenting Camera Settings

Examples of Settings Documentation FS7 Settings Alexa Mini Settings

It's really preferable that you save these settings onto SD cards so that they can be quickly loaded onto cameras during prep, otherwise the process can take 10-15 minutes to make sure all the settings have been set correctly.

Confirming Camera Settings

Using the Project Prep app, click the copy settings email button on the front page and paste your clipboard into an email to production. It should look like this.

Providing them with the LUT used is important, as without it they could drastically alter all of the footage you've shot.
