GH2 - In camera Settings

[JohnJohnson]

I am looking to get the most neutral image I can so that I have the most to work with when color grading/correcting. Beyond filming in the Cinema Mode, what other settings should be changed or set? Do any of them need to be changed?

I go smooth
-2 on everything

Not sure how it works on a GH2, but on Canon, before there were flat picture profiles, you turned the saturation and contrast way down which is what I think Wheat is referring to.

I'd always assumed Smooth was the best setting for grading, but the latest buzz is that Cinema is actually better. I go -2 on NR and contrast and 0 on all else. Idynamic OFF.
