fenix 1lp delema

[timcodes]

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if you guys could decide which is better color rendition?

On the nuwai left or the fenix on the right?

Any opinions?


Thanks!

I'd go with the option on the right side. But that's just me.

nice camera =) i was debating whether to get this, or the nikon d70, until i found this forum and blew all my saved up cash =P but i have to admit, flashlights have a certain element of more-instant-than-cameras-gratification going for them =)

this is slightly tricky though. looking through the pictures, the beam on the right seems more diffuse, and seems to have a very slight greenish tint, while the beam on the left sometimes has a bluish tint.

and here comes the tricky part. i don't know how much it matters, but you should know that you left your white balance on auto, which in turn would've changed the tint in every shot, at the whim of your camera. doesn't seem to be that much variation to the naked eye though, so maybe it didn't change it enough. but better to lock the WB next time =)

Yes you're quite right about the white balance. However, I set the camera on fully manual, that should keep the white balance put, shoudln't it?

Actually the right seems to be a warmer white than the other.

But if you use photoshop to use the magic wand tool it seems the right is brighter in every aspect....

Any further opinions? I've been strugling for days on this.... :)

It doesn't normally - I use Canons and when in full Manual mode - I can still change the white balance.

If the white balance was set/left on Auto - changing to Manaul Mode will not alter the white balance setting.

I normally use fixed Daylight White Balance for my beamshots.
Even then I suspect there is still some slight adjustment by the camera......

Just go the the environment you expect to use them in and try them both out.

Probably won't make a hill or beans difference either way.

Especially if you can't make up your mind after a few days of trying.

You're right, but the one on the right seems to be clearer on the environment. Seems to see object clearer, and better color rendering instead of the blueish tint, its more white....

Help!!!

If your camera has it, you should use the Cloudy setting. Daylight - Nikon's, anyway - actually takes out a hint of blue.

Why do you need help???

You answered your own question.

Cloudy balance is so that cloudy/in the shade scenes should be rendered less blue/cool.......
eg: if cloudy balance were used on a sunny day the scene would be rendered too warm.
ie: cloudy setting should reduce/de-emphasize any hint of Blue/coolness.

whereas -

Daylight balance is for sunny conditions - so the expected light/balance is warmer/less blue -
eg: daylight balance used for cloudy/in the shade scenes will give blue'ish/cooler tinted photos.......
ie: daylight/sunny setting should emphasize any hint of Blue/coolness.

At least this is the way Canon digitals and films work -
perhaps Nikons are different?...............
