@@NOlimitsON Hello, yes, I also have that question. Slog2 with SGamut3.cine in 8bit recommend +32 saturation so that in post-production there is a better result ... in 10bit they recommend +15 saturation. Someone has tried?
I heard about this else where. In theory it makes sense when you think about it. I’m gonna try it. So interesting, it’s opposite of what log style profiles preach. However, with 8 bit we are talking about something different here. If some one makes a video of trying to prove this theory to us, that would rock.

Good job on this video sir. I stopped color grading, I simply use the Landscape scene profile with my Sony ZV-1. It makes colors pop and adds contrast but at the cost of needing more subject lighting

Thank you so much for the awesome video. Very clearly explained. I still had a doubt. When you are shooting outdoors in a slightly dynamic environment, won't we need to keep changing the Zebra limits and keep on changing the settings to overexpose every scene correctly? How efficient is this?

My question is: am I gonna have a color bending using the S-log2 on A73 I wanna know If i will have color bending even if it's small, and second which on is better of retaining details in highlights HLG3 or S-lo2 with non bending at all on sony a73 because I hate color bending
It depends on you color grading, if you wanna oversaturate a lot - you’ll get banding for sure, but if like color in my video and grade in a similar way - you’ll be fine in 95% of shooting scenarios)
@@NOlimitsON and how about the HLG3 on sony A73 or any 8 bit color camera can I boost the saturation and make a deep coloring grading without color bending? or the same problem of S-log?
@@firesmaug3214 I prefer not to use HLG because it has Lowe color accuracy and can cause some issues with the skin-tone and color of the sky or grass. You can check a video by Gerald undone about Sony picture profiles - you’ll see the difference)
Hmm I shoot everything with my a7iii in s-log 3, and then colorgrade in davinci and it looks great, I don’t really understand why you would choose for s-log 2?
Because with 8-bit cameras slog3 is too flat and it’s much easier to get artifacts when grading. It’s possible to make slog3 on 8-bit camera look great, but after a lot of tests I came to a conclusion that slog2 gives much cleaner results
It’s called banding - when there not enough color info (most of the time with 8-bit footage) - you get this effect on gradient colours like the sky. Also after TH-cam’s compression even 10-bit video can look like this
@@NOlimitsON it happens when I shoot video on FX 6 and now same thing happening with Sony Alpha a74 but only when I try to shoot sky video then round circle appear in sky... I don't know why
Caleb from DSLR Video Shooter recoments the ITU709 matrix above the S-Gamut3.Cine. Why do you use the S-Gamut3 above the ITU709 matrix? How do you get such a good skin tones with the a6300?
@@NOlimitsON THX man, I made some mistakes in my confusing message above. I meant the ITU709 matrix not the S-Gamut3.Cine. Youre skin tones and colors look good. So I was wondering about it..... Calleb made this video called = Why Sony Video Color SUCKS and How to FIX IT! I don't see the banding or the artefacts he mentions in youre video.
I am just learning this stuff for my hobby channel. I found slog2 to be quite good as well on my a6400. In my latest video I realised I don't have to be afraid of noise, I bought a copy of neat video noise remover and for me it feels like magic that does impossible things.
0,3 EV is 1/3 of a stop of light. For example going from 1/50 to 1/60 shutter speed or from f2 to f2.2 or from iso 1600 to 2000 - it’s all adjustments of 0.3 EV (Exposure value)
Not sure if you're gonna reply but does auto Iso consider bad option to use here and does it generate more noise if i limit it between 800 and 6400? What if I want to capture a building or a car.. if over expouse for the car the sky will be blown out.. what should i do here??
Hi! I wouldn’t use auto iso, it’s too unpredictable… as I said in the video - you have to decide for what to expose every shot - you want the sky to have detail - expose for the sky, if don’t care about the sky being blown out - expose for the shadows and so on…
Sorry I'm new to this but I have the Sony ZV-E10. When using Slog2, what is the exposure using Zebra IRE for interior house tour? still 95? or 65? or 32? how to determine?
Hi there I'm a bit confused about the exposing with zebras. So basically for zebra 95 should I just turn up the exposure as bright as I could and stop at the max exposure as long as the zebra appears at the brightest highlight part?
In my opinion, if i have the 8-bit camera, the sLog2 can make some bad lines on my footage when i color grade but the cine4 with pp8 does not make this problem so what do you think? And do you still choose slog2 than the cine4?
@@Fairoz93 Zebra is not showing up in Slog at 100+- and also I prefer to have 5 extra points of IRE to protect the highlights, so I set it to 95 and it works great in 99,9% of shooting scenarios with Slog
As I said in the video - it does, if you expose correctly, but in general the dynamic range at night isn’t that big and important and you’ll be okay with using something like Movie Color and Movie Gamma if you’re afraid of messing up the exposure in Slog2
Recording externally will automatically solve like 85% of the issues people face while grading 8bit log footage. I'm assuming you anyways use your atomos to record prores 4:2:2 which is a much more forgiving codec compared to the shitty 100mbps h.264 codec, which is pretty much unusable for scenes that actually require s-log 2 DR.
Hi! i was on the other video and watch this as you suggested but I still find in my Slog-2 the minimum ISO at 1600 on the alpha 7sII how can i use it on lower ISO?
@@NOlimitsON i'm sorry to bother, it's just to have a comparison. let's assume you have to record something in a very lighty day do you suggest to change picture profile or adding some ND filters on the lens?
I understand the dynamic range is great with S-Log2. But the shadows can hardly be used because of the low bitrate. So you have to expose to the right and never use the recorded shadows wich costs some of the 256 steps. But not overexpose too much because of the lacking tonal precision of 8bit and often the bad sensor dynamic range. Which costs another part of the 256 steps. All in all there is less usable dynamic range and more noise than with a linear profile like Cine2, right?
Not exactly) I found slog2 to be the best in terms of color reproduction and usable dynamic range on 8-bit camera. Yes, it takes some skills and effort to film and process it correctly, but it works very good when you nail it
Hiii!!! This video was amazing!! extremely clear and illustrative! helped me lots!!! I really hope you respond 😩😂 I have the A7ii, Does these settings work the same even if i’m shooting at 1080p? Or how does it change? I really need help hahahah
Does it make a difference if you record in 1080 or 4k?, (as well as slog 2) does the file size difference mean less color/exposure data to work with? the bigger file res the better or can you get away doing 1080 slog 2 and all that? thank you :)
Absolutely great results in your video can you please explain when exposing using zebras vs ev if the zebra still shows and ev drops below +2 how do you expose in this instance..Also color phase should it be +2? Knee and gamma i guess its auto / default.In the ending did you shoot 60fps 1080? How did you maintain still good details or was it 4k 24p and slowed in post? Thanks ive subscribed
Hi) thanks! You have to prioritize zebras - E.V. Is just a point of reference. Color phase at +2 reduces the green, I’d prefer to keep leave the color phase at +2. Knee and gamma are default. The last shot is shot on the a7s3 in 4K 50p - just for the beauty of the image 😅

sorry I'm not good at english, and your video doesn't have subtitles, I want to ask, is the iso set automatically? thank you
No, I set it manually always)
@@NOlimitsON doesn't manual exposure change when we move it to another object? how to lock ev+2 with invisible zebra 95 when capturing sky objects
@@afrizalijal1665 Yeah, manual is only good for controlled lighting. If you don't have that auto will take care of it.
Great video!!! Thanks!!!
Welcome, stay tuned))
Which picture profile do you use with your 8-bit cameras?
#LOG #Sony #SLOG2 #SLOGWORKFLOW #HOWTOSHOOTSLOG
Would you apply this to a Panasonic camera that shoots in flat of cine like-d?
@@phantomfrequency6621 absolutely yes) to any log footage
HLG2
HLG3. I find it frustrating that there is not as much HLG content haha.
Nice vid, братуха! Very helpful, keep it on
Thanks mate! Stay tuned!
I understand the dynamic range is great with S-Log2. But the shadows can hardly be used because of the low bitrate. So you have to expose to the right and never use the recorded shadows wich costs some of the 256 steps. But not overexpose too much because of the lacking tonal precision of 8bit and often the bad sensor dynamic range. Which costs another part of the 256 steps. All in all there is less usable dynamic range and more noise than with a linear profile like Cine2, right?
Not exactly) I found slog2 to be the best in terms of color reproduction and usable dynamic range on 8-bit camera. Yes, it takes some skills and effort to film and process it correctly, but it works very good when you nail it
Very useful video. Clear information, thanks !
Welcome Frederick) stay tuned)
Great video! Thank you for making this easier to understand!
Thank you)) I’m glad! Stay tuned)))
Thank you for the video. It was very helpfull
Welcome) stay tuned)
Hiii!!! This video was amazing!! extremely clear and illustrative! helped me lots!!!
I really hope you respond 😩😂
I have the A7ii, Does these settings work the same even if i’m shooting at 1080p? Or how does it change?
I really need help hahahah
Hey! Thanks! Absolutely the same)
Does it make a difference if you record in 1080 or 4k?, (as well as slog 2) does the file size difference mean less color/exposure data to work with? the bigger file res the better or can you get away doing 1080 slog 2 and all that? thank you :)
I shoot in 4K 95% of the time and to my eye the grading of 4K footage looks better) but 1080 is also ok if you don’t need 4K
@@NOlimitsON oh wow amazing info yea this took a huge height off my shoulders thank you so so much !!! 🙌🙌
@@edwino9999 welcome, bro)
can sony alpha 6300 slog?
Yes
hot to grade this on davinci?
Same techniques
Great video thanks!
Welcome! Stay tuned!
how to use luts on log with changing conditions
Changing the settings 😅
Very good video holy shit I have been struggling with this for 3 years and I didn't know why I was getting grain in my shadows
Thanks mate) enjoy and stay tuned)
i have the sony a6300 too =)
Absolutely great results in your video can you please explain when exposing using zebras vs ev if the zebra still shows and ev drops below +2 how do you expose in this instance..Also color phase should it be +2? Knee and gamma i guess its auto / default.In the ending did you shoot 60fps 1080? How did you maintain still good details or was it 4k 24p and slowed in post? Thanks ive subscribed
Hi) thanks! You have to prioritize zebras - E.V. Is just a point of reference. Color phase at +2 reduces the green, I’d prefer to keep leave the color phase at +2. Knee and gamma are default. The last shot is shot on the a7s3 in 4K 50p - just for the beauty of the image 😅
Thank you so much
thanks a lot for LUTs
Welcome, mate! Stay tuned!
Thank you for this video. I'm waiting for my a6500 to arrive, and this will help me work with the 8-bit footage. Subscribing.
Thank you)) I really appreciate it ☺️

thanks for sharing
Welcome mate) stay tuned)
Can you tell me if S-Log 3 on 8-bit camera is usable?
I talk about it in this video mate) watch attentively)
thanks for all the links in the bio, you really know your stuff. #Subscribed
Thanks bro) stay tuned)
I tried this the last two days, I never work with iso higher than 800, whit this flow I can work with iso 4000 and don't even realize the difference
That’s great mate)) everything is about correct exposure, not about height iso values)
0:45 - кадр снять с атомосом или в чистую?
Конкретно этот с атомоса, а по всему ролику очень много кадров напрямую с Флешки
OMG why don't you have a million views yet???????
Thanx! That's the way TH-cam works unfortunately... stay tuned!
THANKS YOU
Welcome) stay tuned)
yeah you really gotta nail the exposure though and takes a LOT more time in editing. lol
I more prefer use hlg3
Good use it why are u here then ?
@@nokiddo2300 BECAUSE they recommended that video to me
я вроде такое уже смотрел на русском)
Всё верно) на моем русском канале и смотрели) у меня два канала на разных языках с идентичным контентом
