copying settings between different EOS files

Hi,
as a wedding photographer couple we use 4 different canon cameras on location: EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 5D Mark IV and EOS 7D Mark II – for one reason because it is handy do have different lenses already mounted. but also because the different cropfactor of the 7D gives additional focal length on lenses...

very often we find that when we have adjusted an image from one camera and want to copy the settings to the image of another camera, the result is not convincing, although the two images were shot in the same situation with the same white balance, the same ISO, etc. set on both cameras. especially copying adjustments to the 5D Mark II differs very often strongly in the whitebalance...

do you have any ideas, what is the reason for this – and, more important, if there is a solution to this. it would be so nice to be able to adjust an image to the lightsituation in a room and then just aply this setting to all the images taken in the same situation no matter what camera.

maybe you could just give me a hint to find more on this topic in the forum - i could not find it so far...

thanks
gerhard

  Likely this is due to the different sensors and thus different camera profile. Different sensors will deliver different results.

  I have no idea about the reason and no solution. And I don't have that problem with my Canon cameras. But simply using the same white balance can be tricky. A Tamron lens I owned tinted the images much 'warmer' then my Canon lenses do, for example.
  
  Maybe there's a workaround:
  Do the white balance for each camera and set of images. Then copy all adjustments, go to the adjustment clipboard and tick white balance off, then paste the adjustments to the other images. Include some other settings in this procedure if necessary, like matching the exposures.
  
  I'm curious if this works for you. It usually works for me when the light slightly changes.
  
  Another way might be profiling each Camera/lens combination. But I leave it to others to comment on this. I do use profiling, and I achieve the results I want, but I'm not an expert on this.
  
  
  Regards,
  Hans

  I shoot a variety of Canon cameras and while the "Canon look" seems reasonably consistent out of camera in jpg format the story is not the same with bodies having different sensors for different ages and perhaps even different lenses - depending on which lenses you use. (I am assuming you use quite consistent lenses but even so there can be colour shifts that, if balanced for one combination, may be visibly different for another.)
  
  If you are shooting RAW (presumably you are because you mention WB settings) you might consider trying to establish as level a starting point as possible by using the "Linear" profile for each camera, adjust a shot form one camera to how you like it and then apply to a shot from the other.
  
  If they seem quite well matched that approach could be a way forward. However more realistically you be better to edit the images from different body types separately and apply edits in sets of images for each camera, lighting and ISO combination.
  
  Repeat with the second camera's output using the first camera's adjustments modified to suit.
  
  Presets, styles and easy copy and paste may all help.
  
  HTH.
