So how has S-Log3 been for you so far?
Pretty good, easy to work with when you have a good correction LUT, and it's pretty forgiving. I'm not a professional colorist, but a graphic designer.
you dont know how to use this camera. dont know how to use iso. dont know how to use gamma assist. dont know how to use zebras. dont know how to use focus peaking nor zoom magnifiers nor lock-on autofocus.
Not so great for me either. too noisy
I believe the opposite to be true. SLOG is better for less than ideal lighting or high dynamic range situations like direct sunlight, and has the greatest flexibility. In order for you to get the best dynamic range you need to shoot at or close to native iso, so you messed up here, should have went to 12800 if you needed the extra exposure in camera. In 90% of color grading situation you want to start with a proper corrective LUT. It’s very misleading to tell people that SLOG has “off” colors. Also I can’t comprehend how your focus and white balance is off due to SLOG, use the Gamma Assist tool or a proper preview LUT in your monitor.
I only shoot SLOG3 and am never turning back.
Hi 👋
Recently i bought siii but i am facing noise issues in there could you please tell me how can i shoot in slog 3 without getting noise .
Thanks
@@lovepreetbaath2703 shoot 640 or 12800 iso. ETTR and use aperture, ND filter, or shutter speed to reduce exposure if you are clipping highlights. If you ETTR but your subject is too dark, then expose for subject and let highlights. Ethier that or add more light to the subject.
I’m also having so much issues with noise on Sony cameras. Even when shooting at native iso and correctly exposed, subject is fine but anything else in the shot in slight shadow or black is a noisy mess.
@@Gloomwithaview people say with slog u have to over expose about 2 stops..
@@Gloomwithaview I had the a74 and noticed you can get away with exposing .5 stop - 1.7 stops over and not getting much noise. Ive even under exposed sometimes and got less noise than with the a7siii exposed at 1 stop over.
This is odd but im learning that with the a7sii there's less wiggle room. Expose 1.7 and higher. 2.0 EVEN! And you'll get a very clean image when Shooting at Base ISO ( 640 - 12800 ) SLOG
A waveform is the best tool for me. I use an external monitor and it shows exactly when im clipping. I hit clipping point then dail it back. Then when I convert SLOG to Rec709 the image is clean and gorgeous....better than a74.
For run and gun just set zebra to 95. And expose your shots to just just before that.
i respect that you share your honest experience with S-Log 3.
but all your "reasons" of not shooting with S-Log 3 Comes down to amatures mistakes
S-Log 3 is intended to professional videographers with the right accessories and experience
and its very recommended to PRACTICE & PRACTICE MORE before you go out to shot for clients .
but once you learn to shot with S-LOG3 there is no turning back from it .
There is an option in camera to turn on Gamma Assist which shows you an example of how it would look in REC709 or what it would look when you apply the SLOG3 lut from sony, I hardly use it but it’s useful for white balancing when you’re not sure.
Almost every example seems to come down to operator error to me. Shooting in too high iso, not getting proper white balance on set, not nailing focus. these are pretty easy things to get right on set. Not knocking s cinetone. It’s an incredible profile. But slog 3 is pretty idiot proof if you use a good monitor and a good monitoring lut.
you calling me an idiot bro? I’m kidding, we can talk about that later. But s-log 3 is still not for me. hey, that rhymed.
@@MomentumProductions1992 ha!!! No way! I learn so freaking much from your channel. Was more about an idiot like me using it fairly successfully. Lol.
all jokes my man. I screw up on shoots all the time. that’s why editing is so freaking important. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the content :)
I have to disagree man. Slog is incredibly easy to shoot in and has the best rolloff and skin tones. Plus dynamic range and flexibility to do pretty much anything you want with it. Sounds like you still need to learn how to use log properly.
yea he doesnt know how to use it properly
I think we can call agree that if you have no idea what you’re doing, you shouldn’t use Slog-3. 🙄
SLOG3 is a pain but its still king in for flexibility
My SLOG3 Chronological Checklist:
1. Good white Balance? No? : fix it first on regular profile or with gamma assist.
2. Switch to SLOG3
3. Are you Over exposed by +1 to +2 without clipping your important highlights? No ? : Boost exposure
4. Are you Above 2500 ISO for good ETTR ? - > jump to 12800
5. 12800 Too Bright? and 2500 too Dark? Use ND filter on 12800
great tips here thank you!
@@MomentumProductions1992 for sure dude! Glad you posted. We’re all running into similar problems. And the info is scattered all over the place.
@@MomentumProductions1992 would also suggest to get the phantom luts! Just bring the exposure back down by 1-2 stops in post and then apply LUT and you should be most of the way finished!
@@brightboxawesome2702 Good call!
All correct! As mentioned, it is best to do white balance on a regular profile: often performing the white balance with a log profile leads to inconsistent results in my experience, with different alpha cameras such as the A7III (using sLog2)
I shoot everything in slog 3 including low light wedding receptions on the A7s3. I use gamma assist in camera to give me a normal look, I manually set white balance to kelvin & adjust. I edit in Davinci Resolved wide gammet colour managed, so it’s just one click (no lut) to colour correct all the footage to rec 709. I set exposure to plus 1.7 stops & have never had a problem with colour or noise. Video comes out perfect every time.
Hi could you please tell me how can i shoot in slog 3 without noise and i am keeping my exposure always +2 stops but i m getting noise always until unless i shoot at iso 640 or 12800
How are you monitoring your 1.7 stops? The +1.7MM down at the bottom is never accurate… do i need a monitor? Most times I can dial in my exposure fine but in certain low light conditions it’s very challenging.
@@lovepreetbaath2703 I get a little bit of noise in the shadows, but it’s hardly noticeable
@@EarlyDawnTravels I set my exposure dial at 1.7 over the keep it around zero on the back of the camera. I have iso on auto, so the exposure is constant
@@nashhall694 but the ISO outside of base 640 or dual native 12800 always produces noise.
You really have to train for S-LOG3 in low light, first the 2nd base Iso has to be your go to friend, I even use ND filter by night very often, why ? Because I rather shoot at 12800 iso than shooting at 3200 iso, thus, I have to put an ND for that!
good to know your experience!
This sounds like a alot of user error fam. Prine example if you've had the camera for over a year I think you should know that s log 3 is best used at 640 or 12800. Since you were shooting alot of slow mo you could have easily just brought up your f stop to like f4 and over cranked the shutter a bit. If you are shooting more run and gun you have other Picture profiles for that such as S-Cinetone HLG3 or Cine 4.
Hey im new to slog3 on sonya7siii
Should i always stay at 640 or 12800 iso or can we go either side abit if needed to slightly over expose abit more? Thanks
As a dude that does coloring in davinici resolve for fun, im offended that he is putting all this false information out there on the internet. 🤣 i get it, coloring isnt for everyone. And if you dont like it, dont use slog. But if you like coloring, slog is great for run and gun, In my experience with my a7siii. 🤷🏻♂️
This is an opinion piece and he is entitled to his opinion. My opinion is i love slog. 🤪
If I don’t like coloring what should I shoot in ?
@@glen7051 whichever picture profile you like the look of.
Thank you very much for this helpful video🎉
Thanks for sharing and well worth the discussion. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
I do not have a7sIII, but for my a73 and a7c I am 90% time use HLG3.
Are you using a gray card? You're supposed to over expose your middle gray by 1.7 - 2 stops. I was also having the noise issue when I first started using S-Log 3 but that helped a lot. And yeah, if I'm close to 10,000 ISO, it's better to just jump over to 12,600 ISO for the noise reduction. If you're run & gunning, just zoom into the subject and make sure it/they are 1.7 - 2 stops over exposed on your light meter. As for color, S-Log 3 automatically wrecks the skin tones every single time. Luckily, I found a good lut online for free that fixes that instantly. It's not perfect, I tend to add a bit of contrast to it, but as for skin tones, it always fixes them without having to make any tweaks. This is what I've learned from my time using S-Log 3 and I'd like to think my stuff looks good 🙃. I would also not recommend to shy away from this picture profile. It takes some getting used to but it's got potential
Great advice here. No I did not use a grey card. definitely would have been useful but it’s really tough being solo :/
@@MomentumProductions1992 it's not ideal but just zoom into your subject (getting rid of unimportant highlights) and set your exposure there
And set your metering to highlights only instead of multiple metering.
I have a7SIII since more than a year and never used any profile aside from S-Cinetone. You can color grade that as well and tone it to your liking. SLog3 sellers on youtube try so hard to make S-Cinetone bad because it doesn't make them money. The dynamic range is pretty solid as well, extremely close to SLog3 and a polarizer/gradient filter will increase that, and probably a mist filter as well.
I went through most of the comments and need to agree to always go for the 2nd (higher) ISO instead of selcting something around ISO 3200.
On the other side, those ultra flat log profiles tend to have challenges in the lows by principle - and I see this with my Lumix S1H, too.
Log-profiles are primarily superior in protecting the high lights from burning out - but, log curves also pull up a large portion of the darks that w/o log profile would come out of the camera as pure black. As the physical behavior of the sensor remains the same this automatically results in that nasty noise in the darks.
Ultmimately, the overall exposure challenge remains: exposuing for the dark areas and risking burned out lights or vice versa.
Totally agree with you! I don’t have the patience for all that lol
I can see your frustration. I feel like it sucks that you get so much grain once you pass 800 iso. What has worked for me is I honestly if I can leave my iso at 100 or below 800 I would shoot at 12800 which is the second base iso my videos have come out perfectly. I’ll soon be sharing that on my page but that and adding gamma assist to see the color result on screen while I’m shooting in slog 3 in camera. I also use an external monitor. Not a pro like you but it’s definitely helped me with my shots. I always keep an ND FILTER on and push the iso to 12800 to start. Hope that helps a little.
I shoot SLOG 3 and honestly I haven’t had issues with it, even though I shoot with the fx3 which is pretty much an a7siii but I should everything in ProRes Raw and convert to SLOG 3.Cine
The one thing I learned shooting S-log is I have no freaking idea how to shoot S-log and S-cine has just been easier for me. I've read some of the tips in the comments and will keep picking at S-log and hopefully it clicks for me one day. Cheers.
I’m in the same boat hahaha
it is a common misconception to believe that the LOG produce more noise, it only does so if you expose it the same way you would expose a REC709 or a CINETONE. Exposing LOG is a little bit different and i would recommend the use of tools such as waveform, this is a must have. Or else you cannot expose correctly your log.
Also, try to use a monitor (a 5" if you cant carry around a 7") that will helps you to pull focus more precisely.
Use also the monitor to apply a LUT while shooting, so you'll have a general idea of what the color/contrast will look like.
The use of the LUT will also help you greatly with the focus pulling as the contast is how your eye judge what's in focus (it is not the color that helps, it is the contrast)
been shooting all of my youtube videos for golf and DJ'ing in SLog 3 with an A7IV and A7rV.
800ISO is your base so I don't know why there would be noise at 800. I've had a solid time shooting with it.
Drop a lut onto the screen and you should be good
Im always filming in s-log 3 and i faced the same problems before , to get the best out of it you need to follow this :
1- buy an ninja screen and install sony official luts on it to be able to preview the lighting and the colors .
2- always keep the ev +2 no matter what .
3- only use iso 640 and iso 12800 (i know dont worry about it ) .
For the color grading i dont think youll need to do anything except applying the same lut you was using during the shoot
Many times my log footage looks worse than my old DSLR b cameras shooting at regular standard profiles, and I spend a tonne of time getting it to look the same as what came straight out of camera. I have given up using LUTs because they always mess up certain tones like reds, depending on the lighting or white balance. I now just use colourspace transforms and grade from this. But I am considering just using HDRPQ to get the dynamic range without the need for all the colour correction. LOG3 is good if you have high contrast and may want to correct the exposure, but if you nail the exposure in the camera in the first place, then there's really no point to it, since crushing your whites and blacks to keep all the info on a rec709 display just looks wrong anyway.
Yes, It's a delicate profile and when using it you have to be so careful. I also found myself wrecking footage becouse of these mistakes... as people says, proper white balance has to be setted up in other profile and after that, always if neccesary even if using an nd filter, bumping to 12800 iso is a great thing. I like Scinetone but it's true that it doesn't have the same dinamic range.
Anyway is a shame seeing that the camera has so much noise in lets say 2000iso. A little bit frustrating...
Thanks for your content! 🙌😊
This was my first experience shooting log as well. As log recording become more and more accessible we are going to have a lot more people experience this.
This video is riddled with bad information. Frustrating to see that you have owned this camera for more than a year and you still do not know some of the basic features? So many ways to make sure you are nailing exposure, colour and focus all in camera such as Gamma Assist, Zebras, histogram, focus assist…and that’s all without even using an external monitor. You underexposed all the examples. Just annoys me that some people will watch this and then proceed not to use Slog 3 the best and EASIEST picture profile to work with. You forgetting the colour of the car of CLIENT you shot for is kind of a joke. 🤦🏻♂️ sorry bro, but people were going to comment on the inaccurate information about the camera. Can link you some videos that cover how to properly use and expose for Slog3 if you’d like.
Exactly lol. I'm watching this like wtf
Learning how the log profiles work would have helped in this situation. Pushing the ISO was a mistake! Signal-to-noise ratio is something to keep in mind at all time. Keep the native log iso to maximise your dynamic range. If you need more light, open your aperture or increase your shutter speed. Remove the ISO from the « triangle ». The real conclusion is don’t shoot in log if you don’t understand what it does !
When you choose log profile everything is off ….. that is why you use gamma assist or external monitor with a LUT. Slog 3 with phantom LUTs is the easiest if exposed at +1.7 to +2.0. Easy peasy ! And you lock the WB.
S-Log 3 is one of the best features of the A7SIII. You can use a monitor or the built-in gamma correction tool to get a preview of your final image. Dynamic range on this sensor is one of the main reasons to buy the camera, if you're not taking advantage of that you can save money by shooting on a much more affordable camera with a built in colour profile.
I do use S-Log2 overexposed at +1.7 in 8 bits with my Sony A7C. everything looks great. I've not tried S-Log3 in my A7C as I was told that bring a 8-bit camera it was better to use S-Log2. Anyone shots in 8-bits S-Log3? Cheers!
You should put on good monitor. Slog3 is absolutely the best profile. S-cinetone looks amateur because you're limiting dynamic range so much. It's definitely not affecting focusing. Colors are always slightly off on log profiles of every brand, but its super easy to fix. Unfortunately Sony A7s3 is bad camera in terms of noise because of the that huge jump between 800 and 12800, but if you expose it with proper tools it looks good. I think your bad experience is caused by not understanding specifics of log profile
In regards to the dual native ISO.
You state that you would like it to kick in alot lower. This is understandable; this is a common use case.
However, the S in a7siii stands for sensitivity. I personally love where it kicks in. 12800 iso allows me to get a significantly different looking shot from the 640 iso. I can close down my aperture to capture a larger focus depth and sunstars. The features of the a7siii fit my needs really well.
It sounds like the a7iv would fit into your work flow alot more seamlessly. You might want to consider selling your a7siii and buying the a7iv. That would solve alot of your workflow issues that you mentioned. The noise would be more fine (less grainy) because of the 36MP sensor. The second iso kicks in at 3200iso.
Just some thoughts 🤷🏻♂️ :-) wish you the best of luck with your work flow issues.
funny how logo in the window reflection is red @3:07
Gamma assist to see what your footage will look like after applying a lut. That's probably why the car was orange if you don't apply a rec 709 color space and lookup table. Also the footage is noisy bc you probably under exposed. Happened to me too. You gotta over expose by 1.7 - 2 stops. Which is counter intuitive but that's just how you shoot SLog3. Also have to be aware of base iso I believe the a7siii is 640 minimum.
The reason your ISO 3000 is noisy is cause anything over 640 to 12800 is garbage. Get a ND filter and shoot at 12,800. Also having it clean up at 12,800 is good because you can now shoot Slog3 at night. You might be better off with the A74
Also make sure to overexpose keeping it at 1.7
This is for best results
My man
Well said!
I thought it was not recommended to use slog3 in low light situations?🤷♂️
Sounds like you just were too underexposed for SLOG. It's harder to pull the blacks up vs. pulling down the highlights. It's a fine line when it comes down to exposure, but overall it's the best option when looking for the most freedom for color. Also, SLOG3 has nothing to do with your white balance. As a DP, you should have a general idea of color temps. It's about setting yourself up for success in post while in production, and maybe get yourself an external monitor (if you haven't by now) and I would practice some more. To me, it sounds like you just need more time with it. Of course I'm seeing this video 7 months later, so I'm sure you have learned quite a bit since this video. Either way, keep creating, and learning. Great vid man. Best of luck!
Come on man, iso800 and 12800 are the native isos. You should always shoot at those iso, the guarantee the best DR, and overall image quality. Sometime i go up to 1600 but then this is 12800, ith eventually some filters. This is the same on FX6, and actually when shooting in EI mode you have no choice than those 2 ISOs. Also, you can use gamma curve assistance on screen to check if your WB isn't too bad when you're not sure, and the peaking is very good. Also, having a little ninja, or shogun screen is great. Your arguments are not very founded. cheers !
Maybe all this is stuff you eventually have changed your mind about over the past year?
About 2 minutes in and I'm really confused at how you're saying S-Log3 has a lot of noise. Try and shoot a standard profile at 3000 ISO and there will be noise, albeit more of it is crushed into the shadows because of the increased contrast.
S-Log3 is meant to be shot at its 'native' ISOs of 640/800 and 12800 (depending on camera). At both those ISOs it's incredibly clean, depending on the scene, and you can always add contrast or lower the shadows to crush the noise.
Getting the tones right seems to be pretty easy if you get the white balance correct, and use a LUT that favors skin tones (like the Phantom LUTs).
I'd never, ever monitor in Log, as Log is a completely different color space. The color primaries aren't going to be in the right place.
Anyway, how's it going for you now? Still not using S-Log3?
Would have been better to go up to iso 12,800 and adjusted other settings.
I had the same problem! I shot in really low light and exposed normal at 0.0…BIG MISTAKE! In low light you have to over expose the footage between +1.0 to +2.0 because in post when you go to brighten the footage and it’s exposed normal at 0.0 it will become grainy. It cleaned it right up over exposing the footage while shooting!
Hey man, I did do that for some shots, but I kept forgetting to do that :( There are wayyyy too many rules to follow when shooting with S-Log 3 and it really annoys me.
@@MomentumProductions1992 I’m not an expert colorist and I will only shoot in slog 3 if I’m “having fun” with a shoot. But your video caught my attention cause YOURE RIGHT! s log 3 is a pain. Love the videos man!
Your gimbal balancing vids have saved me on shoots! 👍🏾
Exactly! Hahah, thanks so much man, I really appreciate that :)
Sounds like yall shouldn't be shooting in LOG until you learn more about it.
@@MomentumProductions1992 So S-log doesn't work for you because of user error(s). Has nothing to do with S-Log3. Set your custom wb, focus should be easy to check and confirm (so have an evf, or monitor whatever works for you) and know gain responses etc etc. Pretty basic stuff for a camera operator. Be more critical. Don't say: ow in a controlled situation you can work with it.... quality is method of working and a single operator can also work in S-log3.
I Love S-Log3, tried S-Cinetone and was dissapointed as you loose about 2 stops of dynamic range. To me it’s nearly a diffenence like RAW and JPG. If you shoot S-Log, blacks should never be black. Always check your histogram to make shure you use the whole dynamic range, if you expose right, the image will look way too bright (but isnt‘t clipping!)
For ISO you want to either shoot native at 640 or at 12800, in between you will get noise that pros notice but normal users do not. For pro clients that are fancy pants with marketers/video ppl they might notice it but your footage is so damn good I'd bet they'd forgive you lol.
This also seems like issues I had when initially working with a GH5 at a shoot and I didnt have everything dialed in correctly. What happened was I had banding from Fluorescent lights in a room and the footage was essentially useless. Needless to say, this freaked me out enough to sell my GH5 at the time which I soon regretted. The truth was it was more my own fault than the cameras. I think the same is here. When talking about color issues, you can use the gamma assist feature to see colors using SLOG3 using a basic LUT on screen so you get an idea of what the colors will look like.
The good news here is that the SONY has the color to pull or modify which many do not. So you could recover or adjust which is awesome. I know it was a pain but be thankful for that and it is a testament to how good the SLOG actually is.
The white balance is a known issue and one I do not like. SONY NEEDS FIRMWARE UPDATE for Custom White Balance and custom modes. It still does not work in 2022 wow! You have to go into film mode to set white balance then go back to your custom modes or save it to new profile of custom mode which seems dumb to me. You should be able to just set custom white balance in custom mode. This is very important!! Thanks for the video!
Bro hmu! I will send you the Phantom Luts if you'd like. They make it so you don't have to color grade at all.
All user error. Slog3 can be tricky for run and gun stuff but if you stick to the base ISO’s and white balance with proper exposure it’s sssssoooooo easy
I feel bad for your experience. Most of this is mainly just not understanding Slog3 and how to use it properly.
Use gamma assist, ETTR 1.7 stops and bring back down in post (gerald undone has a video on this), you should have a white balance card on you and start using it. Use base ISO and if you need to use a quality variable nd filter to make sure you're always hitting base ISO.
If you don't care about getting the most dynamic range, then forget everything I just said and use S Cinetone. Lol
my vision is in SLOG3 bro
I couldn't agree more. S-Log3 sucks in anything accept perfect exposure conditions. What do you recommend as an alternative?
there are just 2 isos to shoot slog3 / 640 or 16.000 or above the rest is noisy AF
The A7S iii has to dual ISO, 640 & 12800 .. If you can't shoot in 640 don't go beyond 1000 ISO, you have to jump to IS0 12800 and use a ND filter to cut down the Exposure, especially in low light situations where the slightest amount of noise can be exaggerated is you go beyond 1000 ISO
i’ve had the similar issue honestly
You're doing something wrong because with slog 3 properly exposed (custom white balance and expose a gray card then add 1.5 to 1.7 stops) it has much better DR and little or no noise.
When shooting S-log 3 on the a7siii, NEVER EVER EVER shoot at ISO's between 1600-12800. If you need to go above 1600, go to 12800 and stop down your aperature to expose. ANY ISO between 1600-12800 will be noise af and basicly unusable. That said, I do agree 95% of people should not use slog 3 and rather opt for some other log profile or S-Cinetone.
Bro you made my head hurt with this one. I'm not sure you know how to use the camera at all.
sounds like he doesn't know how to use it properly 😂. I agree it takes some getting used to but the fact that you can save over exposed areas or vice versa is incredible helpful (coming from a wedding film maker)
Somebody get this man phantom luts
dude. in low light put the iso at 12800 and you will literally have 0 noise. and if 12800 causes the image to be over exposed, simply put a variable ND filter on your lens to correctly expose the image. the a7siii/fx3 is literally the best low light camera on the market. lol you are just not using the equipment properly. i get amazing low light results. absolutely amazing. Slog 3 is an easy picture profile to shoot with.
Also in "running and gunning" you need to know what you are doing. A good camera operator knows how to set proper whitebalance, knows how to focus and what profile to use. I hear a novice talking about mistakes he makes and then blaming it on s-log. A good and seasoned operator can perfectly use s-log 3 (he will most likely as a starter in low light switch to the second native iso, have proper focus technique and knows how to properly set a whitebalance). I feel a lot of people think that "running and gunning" is an excuse for not setting custom WB or be critical to every aspect of filmmaking. Being a one man band is very very hard work. But this kind of titles and advice is something I would advice to skip. It's all user error.
Thank you for watching :)
wait I honestly can't tell if this is a joke ... waiting for the punchline here
hahahahah
A bit late to the party here, but this video is absolutely incorrect. Have shot thousands of hours on the A7SIII, FX6, FS7 all in SLOG3. The issue you are experiencing is due to a lack of understanding how to use the tools correctly. As you state in a comment below "I don't have the patience for all that" - so you simply just don't have time or don't want to understand how to use the tools correctly. That's fine - shoot S-Cinetone, or REC709. But it's really not complex at all, and frankly if you're a professional working today, these are things you should find the patience and time to learn and understand. You don't need to be a colour expert to grade SLOG3, it takes literally seconds to build a very simple S curve and add saturation. Do it every single day in post (I don't use LUTs). Done and done. Simple rule of thumb - light bright, grade dark. Just a really basic simple principal of exposure and knowing where the noise floor is and how to avoid it. There's a reason in CineEI on the FX6, for example, you have 800 and 12800 as your ISO options. Those are the options that work correctly with SLOG3 to minimize noise and maximize dynamic range. You apply the same principals to the A7SIII - 640/12800 is where you live to get the cleanest image in SLOG3. If you're under exposed at 640, go to 12800 and ND down to where you need to be. Pretty simple.
Never shoot above ISO640 in Slog-3. The noise is horrible, if you need more light, use more light. 12800 is ok if you are ok with loss of detail.
mean seriously dude! I can't believe your doing client work and using a picture profile you don't know how to grade or shoot in....your supposed to use the assist feature for slog when shooting and you can use an slog lut to get it very close without much tweaking
Weird flex, but you do you king
I dont understand the Video.
SLOG3 ist FOR EDITING.
IT IS for perfect lightning, its for shooting films or similar.
Its flat, because its need to be flat for the right correction.
Why u are mad at slog3, if u dont understand the benefit.
No hate, but learn self more about what SLOG actually about instead of trying to teach others not to use it.
Lol, so you keep the screen with the supposedly noisy footage in thumbnail view, but show us your face in fullscreen. LOL. I couldn't see any of this noise you were describing.
bait content
This guy sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about... starting with complaining that dual ISO works as dual ISO is expected to work, but he "wants it to be clean at all ISOs"
You’ve convinced me. Slog-3 seems to take all the fun out of filming and replace it with terror.
Sony fanboys are so sensitive and u insulted their beloved Jesus a7s3… be careful now mate 🤪🤪😜
Hehehe
Phantom Arri Luts and stop crying
This is just a dogSHIT opinion 😂

Thanks for watching :)
