Canon VIXIA HF G70 custom profiles- camcorder WOW settings
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- The Canon VIXIA HF G70 is the most recent camcorder to come out and here is how you can make it look great IN CAMERA as you shoot without having to use LUTS or LOG (it doesn't even have a LOG option anyway) This is beyond white balance. Forget LOG and cinema profiles- you don't need them! Create you own magical look exactly the way you like it by creating your own custom profiles in the camera that you can call up instantly. Below is the one I created for myself and I'm sharing it for free! Enjoy.

the toxicity of modern influencer makes many camera owners didn't know they could make usable and ready content straight out of camera without color grading. i love this guy, i love camcorders!
seeing this camera truly brings me to my childhood. ❤ when things were organic, when it was about recording to save a memory
I appreciate you and your channel's effort to raise the bar for photography around the world. People are so rich with cameras, yet so often poor in getting much out of them.
Well said!
I'm also a camcorder fan and have built a combined audience of almost half a million subscribers across two channels on UA-cam filming with them. I started with a Panasonic MX400 (MiniDV, SD) then went to a Sony HD camcorder and presently use a Panasonic HC-X1500. The convenience of not having to worry about carrying a bag of lenses, filters, batteries and other gear very much outweighs the limitations of a small sensor, for me at least. As I'm sure Markus will agree, making videos is all about the content, not the tools. A great videographer can make compelling videos with even the cheapest/simplest camera and having the latest and greatest gear won't necessarily turn someone into a master video-maker.
Do the best you can with what you have and focus on creating a great story or delivering valuable information.
Yeah while everyone else is figuring out which lens to use we've aleady got the shot😄
@@MarkusPix
.. and the Sony 405 you recommend is affordable..
About 60 cycles with the battery and it's starting to loose power from 2 1/2 hours to 1 1/2 hours.. new batteries are fairly cheap for the 405 😻 so I will get 2 and use the spare battery compartment..
Markus did you find the spare battery compartment? maybe a video on it ... and I filmed Jupiter and the Moons.. using 405 zoom .. a little blurry but amazing I then filmed 4 days later and Ganymede was the other side of Jupiter.. turns out it goes round in 7 days.. blew my mind as it's traveling Really fast.. I'm seeing what Galileo saw 400 years ago..
A video comparing camera's filming Jupiter.. to show best zoom.
Kindest regards from
Bella 🐈 and Mark
This is a video that we've needed for YEARS! Leave it to Marcus to come through for us! Thanks, Marcus, and I look forward to your upcoming tutorials!
Good info thanks. I picked a G70 up a few months ago, I'm having fun fooling around with it too.
Thanks Marcus,
I have the Canon Vixia GX10. That camcorder is one of the few Canon camcorders that can record 4k/60p.
The GX10 is the same camcorder as the Canon FX400 and FX405 but without the Mic/Top Handle Grip XLR. My Canon Vixia GX10 has the same menu as G70.
The main complaint about the GX10 is that the Canon factory setting make the Video quality dull and lifeless.
I just tried your setting and used CP6 and it makes a big difference!, the video is not dull and lifeless any more. Thank you Marcus!
I have both a Panasonic camcorder and the FZ300. Like the camcorders, the FZ300 has the 1/2.3" sensor. However, it also has a LOT more customizable settings. It's still my main video camera, 7 years after I bought it. Easily the best investment I've made in photography. Nice pictures, too!
I used an Fz150 for over ten years before I upgraded to MFT. As soon as Markus mentioned those G70 specs I thought its the same as FZ300 and probably twice the price despite being many years later. I wish Panasonic would update it but its still a standout in many ways. Even armed with a GX8 and a number of lenses that cover the full 20-600 range, I still miss the convenience of that zoom lever.
I'm still shooting with a Vixia HF-S10 from 2009. 1/2.3 sensor that outputs a beautiful 1920x1080 picture. And, it pairs well with my C100 MKII. :-) Pocket camera is Sony HX99 that I got for $25 at an estate sale!! Love the ease, simplicity and picture output of these cameras.
I love seeing what I can get away with using small sensors!
Still have my HFS-10 ♥. Added a Canon XA20 a few years later.
I'm a big fan of camcorders. I have a Canon and Panasonic. Nothing beats the ease of use. Thank you for sharing the settings. This camcorder has been on my radar for a long time. The G70 and G50 are so similar. Looking forward to more videos about camcorders.
WOW! This is just what I needed. I had no idea how to get this setting for my G50. I was ready to put tis camera on the shelf, but thanks to you and your knowledge, I'll be using it for all of my UA-cam and personal video. My you be blessed over and over for your sharing knowledge.❤
Well done Markus, another Gem from someone who actually knows what they are talking about and makes sense. I have the HF S 50 which is very similar, up until your video I was under the impression from the manual you needed the remote controller to access this Gem but not so! I have copied your suggested settings into my camera and boy what a difference, blue skies look beautiful and the whole image has a better look! Thanks so much. A great future video could be showing the differences between each setting but probably too much to ask!🤣
I've had this camcorder for a couple of months and love it, but I didn't know how to do all of these settings until you showed me. Thanks so much -- I liked and subscribed as payback!
Gotta say your enthusiasm is infectious ! Recently picked up the XA70 released about the same time, have to see if the CP settings will let you do the same thing & give it a try. Thanks !
Thanks Mr. Markus for the camcorder episode. Have always been a huge fan of camcorders. I even used my Sony V5000 on several broadcast program's when the Norelco three-gun cameras went belly up. Everyone in the control booth were scrambling around and said it wouldn't work... but surprise it not only worked but looked stunning.
Thanks, Markus! My high school students love this camera and we’re looking to purchase a couple more. This will greatly help production
Very surprised in the visual improvements ... has no idea what to do with my XA50, I was ok with factory settings, tried C3 log w/luts (Not Bad) adds extra work ... nothing made me as impressed as these MarkusPix adjustments for Run N' Gun with my Canon ... I shot a competition today with MarcusPix settings, which I had no idea I could make within the camera, really interesting to learn that as it is my first camera allowing for setting changes ... Yo MarkusPix ... Thank you ... seriously, I saved up for this XA50 and had been with thoughts I should have saved more for something else like a Sony Z90 ... I actually was so excited when I saw the results from this Canon ... clear, crisp, bright and very usable video ... wow ... I went from using my AX53 more often to wanting to use the Canon now ... after considering dumping the Canon ... well, Canon really should Thank You and I am. Peace MarkusPix. ✌
Marcus, you really are a good person. I really appreciate your youtube videos, always happy to see when you have a new one uploaded. It somehow calms me down when I look at it. Thank you ! greetings from Belgium
I always use my Panasonic 4k camcorder for recording concerts. I don't stand at the very front of the stage, which gives more options and overview. The sound is better and the telelens takes close-ups. Indeed, I can film for hours without overheating. Thanks for the explanation with the settings.
Those are the functions you can only find on broadcast cameras, what a nice little camera! Thanks,Marcus.
Thank you so much for this helpful video & free to use settings - really helped me get the color and quality I wanted for my sets :)
My plezure
I know you probably wouldn't take the deal, but these camera companies should really hire you to explain all the functions and features of their gear. Thank you for putting out these videos Markus.
Thank you for the settings. I'll set mine up when it gets here tomorrow. Shooting a band concert next week; this will be the solo focus cam while the Canon 90D handles the Wide shot.
Again, a great video, with awesome info.
Funny, it shoot everything with a Sony AX700, and the area I struggle with is the picture profiles, especially in a low light (concert) setting.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much Markus, I have the HF G60 with 1 inch sensor, the CP3 is the C-LOG option in the G60, it lets you apply the LUTs from the official Canon Website, you can play with those in your editing program. But I'll input the settings you're sharing. Thank you so much! The G60 has an story own its own because even though Canon applied its "crippling hammer" extensively, limiting a number of things in the hardware, there are a number of other things that made this model a risk to their upper level prosumer or pro bodies, in my opinion. That's probably why they came back with the smaller sensor in the G70.
What are the upper level things you speak of? They disontinued the G60 because the XA70 came out alongside the G70 but with a 1". I wonder how it compares with the G60 and if there is any noticeable difference.
@@MarkusPix I bet that the G60 has the same sensor than the XA70, it's a 1 inch as well. The G60 has the same focal length 25-382 mm, same aperture f/2.6-4.5 (9 blades) and the in-body ND filters. Those are the upper level parts that I was referring to. Then, the XA70 has other characteristics not present in the G60, like XLR handle, UVC livestreaming, USB-C connection, XF-AVC capable (G60 is 4k but MP4 only).
The XA70 probably has a nice OLED screen that the HF-G60 doesn't have. I have an HF-G60 and I believe it probably produces identical image quality to the XA70. Of course the HF-G60 is way cheaper but hard to get ahold of now. Cool thing is you can choose log (instead of Neutral or Wide DR) in the custom profile and manipulate black and add saturation to it to make it look like graded log
Got It Thank you Markus 💜💜💜 LOVE & LIGHT 💜💜💜
I just got my R8 a few days ago. It's my only camera (well besides my smartphone) and I already love it. My choice was between the R8 and VIXIA HF G70. I still might get the VIXIA HF G70 also simply for the fun factor and ease of use. Thanks, Marcus, for your camera tech insights and the joy of using what we have to its fullest potential.
The R8 is even more fun. Its so small and light and feels great in the hand. Enjoy it!
OMG I just used your settings on my new XA70. It looks so much better. Love your stuff brother. Thanks Greg
Happy New Year Markus as always a great video to show people its not all these crazy mirrorless, cinema cameras that a large portions of people do not need in order to capture and tell a story......keep the videos coming in 2024
Thank you i never even dealt with this before for my xa-40 worked great !
Mahalo for sharing! Recently purchased this camcorder and used your settings. Such a big color difference. Aloha from Maui!
Just purchased a Sony FDR-AX700/B (I don't know what the "/B" means). Going to use it for studio and outdoor video B-Roll. My Sony NEX-VG20 and Sony NEX-VG30 will my number 1 and 2 studio cameras and the AX700 will be my number 3 studio cam. Decided to go all camcorder because of you my friend.... 🙂
Oh this is awesome! Thanks for the setting.
You are so welcome!
I picked up the HF G50 because my Canon APS camera will not do 4K for more than a few minutes, most Canon digital cameras have the adjustable white balance along with a secondary feature, the color shift grid which made it very nice to get the right color that I wanted; It was a great discovery but I failed to find that color shift grid on the HF G50, I am getting too much yellow hue and not able to balance out my video work with the right amount of green hue color shift like the APS cameras have, another online search two and half years after I got the HF G50 now I stumble across your video, and check to see if the HF G50 has the CP function, and it does, now to learn how to use it and hope to get the yellow warm hue to balance with some green, now to copy your information and see what works. The HF G50 is impressive out doors, to create that Kodachrome look to video recording. The camcorder has a very good lens and zoom, the focus works like a charm close up and in panoramas.[]
Hi
Can you tell me where is the CP function on the HF G50, I can't find it, Thank you
@@bonjen1 At the four minute mark he explains how to turn on the CP function, the go to the three minute mark in the video as he explains how to get to the CP function and begin to set it up.
Oh wow! You are so right about that blue hue one gets with the Canon handicam.
I’m going to try these settings on my G10 - assuming it has Custom Profiles available! Thank you so much Markus.
Thanks so much for making this video. Can you do a follow up explaining pedestal, gamma, etc so we can make our own custom profiles? Would love that. Love your videos. You’re very helpful and practical and that’s missing in imagery lately.
Great advice! The picture is really better with your settings!
Sir, your enthusiasm for camcorders and small body cameras has really inspired me. I'm aiming for a Sony FDR-AX700, saving up the coins for that dream of a camcorder. I can wait anyways, maybe I get lucky and someone sells it 2nd hand with some scuffings. 😁👌
Much love from me here in my computer seat. Looking forward to your comparison vid!
The vixia and XA75 are amazing
Please do one for Canon's Picture Profile, I have been working around with it and you can get AMAZING jpgs out of camera. I would love to see you shooting photos of Cara with different picture styles. Would it be too much if you try to simulate film?
Hahahaha wish wish wish!
I have the HF-G50 and i love mine.I love the big zoom rocker for shooting racing . it does slo mo great and time laps good too.a woman i used to talk to on line named nasty byte used only cannons shooting underground rock videos because they always had the lowest lux level for shooting in low light.
I have a Panasonic video cam. 1080p. Has good video and a crazy zoom. I still use it sometime. No phone camera has 40 or 50 optical.and 400 digital zoom
Great timing for me as I picked up a used Canon GX10 recently and haven’t had chance to set it up yet 😊 Thanks Markus
I wish I had one like that😢 Greetings from Greece...we love you
Thank you Markus!
i don't even care about cameras but i just love his west coast vibe
Thank you Marcus.
Great video man! I love your energy, the world needs more people as positive and friendly as you
Hey Marcus, thanks for the video!
My wive and I use the Canon XA50 (1") and we love it! The Canon model series is one of the best for run`n`shoot production.
I will save your CP on my cam next to my own and will give it a trie some time!
Greetings from a German Expat living in Greece ;)
"My wife and I"
@@MarkusPix Ahh, you are so right! I corrected it 😊
Really good info videos Markus. Taught me a lot , especially about the story being most important, not the camera. Thank you so much .
Canon does actually make camcorders with 1 inch sensor in the size of the G70, pretty cool actually.
Yes the XA70 came out at the same time, same body, but for double the price, I don't think is is much visible difference in the footage. Now if Canon came out with an APSC sensor in this body size...
Thanks for this video! I believe the Vixia HF G60 had the 1-inch sensor, but the G70 has USB-C for new European Market standards which makes things a lot more convenient... I'm waffling between buying a used G60 vs. new G70 to be master Camera with my 3 GF10's and the Smaller R82...
Interesting how the G60 is no longer being sold while the G70 is. Makes ya wonder
I would go for a used G60 THB. The bigger chip probably makes it a bit more forgiving in low light conditions. I have one and I love it. But I can't compare as I don't have a G70.
The Canon G-range numbering not always made sense to me. Looks like there only is the 70 now? Maybe Canon will focus more on the XF range in the future?
@@bartbuerman The G60 1" sensor does make a big difference with low light, as I have seen some test videos comparing them... I would buy it in a heart beat if I could get it new, but if you want one now, you are paying a premium for a used camera... so you choose well as your camera!
After returning to watch multiple videos of yours, I’m officially sold on your channel and happy to be a new subscriber!! Currently, I’m torn between the G70, 981K, and WXF1 to record my son’s MLS soccer games. If you have a chance to give me your recommendation, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks and keep up the great work!!
Hands down the VX981 for me. Its half the size and weight of the G70 and I like the colors and look more, its easier and more fun to use. The WXF1 is similar but has a smaller sensor.
@@MarkusPixThanks for the reply!! I’ll snag the 981K and call it a day. You rock!! One more quick question, will it be safe to use the 981K in the rain as long as it’s under an umbrella? Some of my son’s soccer games get messy weather wise, so the lack of weatherproofing on most camcorders has always been concerning for me. That’s why I was leaning hard towards a high end mirrorless camera before watching your videos.
Just got my G70, no blue. Great out of the box color, outside and in... My hf r800 great color out of the box. Maybe Canon saw your video of why you don't use canon camera's before they shipped the G70 to you...
Cara vc é demais! Muito obrigado pela ajuda! Que Deus abençoe!
Great video Marcus and I agree 1000% regarding the usability of camcorders. I’ve been using my XA20 and XA50 for years on corporate videos, events, live streaming etc and a few colleagues have bought one when they’ve seen how easy and convenient they are to use. I also have a 10 bit 422 log Mirrorless camera for jobs that need that but 8 times out of 10 I reach for the camcorder if I can. For an 8 bit 420 camera I find the image out of the XA50 looks great and only needs a minor tweak here and there (and sometimes some noise reduction) but I am keen to try our your settings as the menu on the HF G70 looks to be pretty much identical.
You can even set noise reduction levels in your custom profile
@@MarkusPix thanks. I will definitely check it out.
Added this to your camcorder's predecessor the HF G50 and it looks great. I'm looking forward to doing some test footage with it. Like you I do believe what you give you'll get back in another way. Maybe we have an inner Buddhist. Thank you.
I do not have enough hands to do all that you do but, I like listening to you. Aloha
learn to use your feet too
Fantastic! Thank you Sir! 🫡
I considered long time G70 but had no money for it. Got Pocket 3 CC when released. I love camcorders anyways. But Pocket 3 on the table and it tracks automatically my child playing it just works too easily and I don't have to be a camera man. Can be father at that time. Don't know how it does it but it just keeps following even if the head changes a lot of positions and walking around the room.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING MARKUS..!!! 🤗
MAY GOD CONTINUALLY RICHLY BLESS YOU ..!! 🙏
YOU'RE A SUPER HERO ..!! 🦸♂️😊
THANK YOU..!! 🤗
❤
Thanks for the great video. Keep up this camcorder series and I'm looking forward to your next video comparing them all.
Happy New Year!!
I started with a Sony camcorder seven years ago, it had 4k and i didnt even know what that meant. I got pulled in to hybrids, MFT, Full Frame and i'm spending time and money on trying to get good video. Wish i'd never sold the Sony!
Yahoo you make it look so easy I want to start a UA-cam channel and call in southern style photography lol
ur the camcorder guru.. please more !!
Thanks will have to try n mess around with my small VIXA settings. Never liked the color it has but other modes that I tired made me orange LOL Still most my viewers aren't watching to look at me but the stuff I review.
Proper white balance makes a huge difference, especially if it can do custom white balance
Gorgeous cam, awesome tips, thank you!
Can we get a similar video for ZV-e10 in the future?
Sorry for asking
But can you do the same for the Sony AX700 and the Sony A6300 ? Thanks
Thank you forv sharing your knowledge and passion with us
My pleasure!
thank you so much for the video. A very useful topic on settings. I would like another video from you on individual camera settings and the impact of each parameter on the final result. I have a Canon xa 70. Not having any special knowledge in the field of color correction and having an insufficiently informative video camera user manual, I have difficulty setting up the camera. Comparing the video from the ha 70 and my previous camera hf g 10, I am dissatisfied with the quality. The colors from the old camera look preferable - not so gray and rich, and the videos are not as soapy as from the new one. I would like to fix this, including with your help, thereby raising the prestige of Canon for video shooting
I would like to see you recommend the best custom profiles or settings for a Canon Vixia HF R800 camcorder in low light. ☺️
Only thing you can do with that little thing is use more light
I really hoped these settings help me as I have just got the camera and I’m struggling to get the best footage from it. Everything is coming out muddy with no sharpness to it . first time and new to cameras so all the help would be great 👍
@Markus Man, I LOVE your timing. I'm on ebay right now looking for a camcorder.
I'd like to get 3 or 4 to produce a "reaction channel" for UA-cam. (Yeah, I have mixed feelings about the whole genre, too. But the reactor has an established social media base and it MAY not be a waste of time.) I have APC e-mount lenses but the VG-30's are going for $900+ . . . . Ummm, external recorder AND $900+ . . . pretty soon we're getting into "is there a decent 4k alternative? Or, is there a newer CoDec 1080 camcorder for the same or less" territory. Hmmmm; since I'm talking about a static setup; couldn't I output directly to a laptop running Open Broadcast Studio and use laptops that I already have as external video recorders? Anyone have experience with this? It seems straight-forward. (Said the guy who tested Leonardi da Vinci's first parachute prototype.)
Edit: Or, should I grab 3 or 4 Panasonic X900's or Sony CX405's and use the mini-HDMI to Thinkpad T430's I already have - just to prove I can? LOL
Giving away your Luts for free, then getting something back for free is what us 67 year old hippies call “KARMA”…. Thanks for the settings!!!! , Mike
Will you do a video on your custom Sony camcorder AX43 settings next please?
I also have a Pocket 3 and just love it, but the fact it has no zoom is killing me. In your opinion, how is the picture quality of your Canon, compared to the pocket 3? And how does the stabilization compare? To me, the Pocket 3 has the best picture quality and stabilization I've ever seen!!!!
Thanks Markus, super useful as always. Is it possible to create a Black and White profile? Thanks!
Loved this video. I have the G50 and only use it on auto. Wonder if these settings work on auto? Would love a quick answer of YES or NO. Thank you Markus.
no
Thank you Markus
Thank you for another great video
Thanks for the tips. That's a great camcorder. I'm thinking of picking one up if I can find a deal.
underrated channel
The "hot shoe" that you are mentioning is actually a cold shoe, the thing also has a Canon's proprietary hot shoe that you can use in that body as well.
Yes I knew somebody would say that but I didn't want to waste ten minutes of my life doing a voiceover of one word to fix it
Thank you
New follower! Amazing information thank you!
Thank you for this! You have a follower for life!
Of course, I’ll have to fly you and Cara down for my grand kick off to get me at least a couple thousand subscribers lol
make a custom profile for panasonic gx85 or gh5 pls
All of these camera's are pretty much the same, they just cut down feature's for the price ! so it will work for the xa- series as well as the old version's .
These settings seem to make the image more blue on my G70. I have the exposure correct, set the custom white balance, but CP1 looks a bit warmer and slightly more saturated.
Update: switching the White Balance R Gain and B Gain values helps a little.
Update2: Actually, don't switch those values. I noticed pinkish highlights on white /bright areas.
Markus, thank you! Now if I buy that Canon camcorder I'll be able to make some good looking video!
You can make good looking video with just about anything 😊
This Picture Profiles what Sony called it are very frustrating.
I miss the good old A6000 Creative Style Presets.
Thanks a lot for this video. I am really on the shelf between the G70 and something more compact for a stationary streaming set up. I love the ease of use and fun factor of camcorder. I used to have one and it´s great to bring on travels. I also consider the Sony RX100 but I am curious about it´s performance for long streaming sessions. Would you shed some light on this?
If you just want something small, cheaper and easy to use, then maybe one of these ua-cam.com/video/KmZH3rGjjlQ/v-deo.html
Thanks I appreciate this@@MarkusPix. They are brilliant suggestions. Perhaps I will go for the cheaper camcorder and get a small camera for photos too.
Thanks for the advice! 🤩I looked at that video and after a lot of consideration I actually found a Sony AX33 second hand for $260 that I´m very excited to play with @@MarkusPix 😁
i miss the mini dv camcorder era
You miss the endless fast forwarding and rewinding?
Markus still the best
Thanks for sharing.
Great video from a talking cushion😂 love the informative content, thanks Mpix!
Thank you so much! 🙏
I'm renaming the CP2 to CP2MP after you, thanks!
Great information! I used your settings and improved my footage dramatically! One question. I shoot a lot of videos outside in low light conditions. Is there something I can change to improve my footage in low light? Thanks!
Yes, more lights
I actually film wild animals so I can’t use any lights. I thought maybe there was a setting to be able to capture more light. Thanks.
