Thank you very much for the detail video, very informative!! If I use c-log2 and a lut file, could I get better dynamic range than a video from CP off? Just do not want to grade the video later. Could not find video about this topic. Also is there a way to adjust the saturation with CP on? Nikon Z8's HLG is better than Canon R5 II's HLG, could not adjust it to similar look straight out the camera.
Good questions, I'll make a full detailed video but to answer you: Yes, using Clog-2 with the LUT baked in will yield more dynamic range than the standard color profiles. However you do lose the flexibility of adjusting the image in post since it becomes a rec709 file rather than a Log one. There are saturation adjustments you can make in camera in the CP profile for Clog-2. It's in the same menu where you activate the LUT, just scroll down and there is 2 options. Lowkey saturation (which I need to test more to understand how to use) and then Color Adjustment. Best of luck!
Is there a reason why you apply sharpening and noise reduction in camera VS in post? I would assume applying in camera just allows more efficiency when editing.
You got it. I found no sharpening was a bit soft for my liking. So instead of doing it in post which would take a long time and processing power, I do it in camera. Cheers :)
It's less contrast-y, has a much nicer roll off in the highlights, and has those 2-3 extra stops of dynamic range. So ultimately I really love having C-log 2 for those reasons. C-log 3 is still great and I do like how punchy it can be. Clog-2 requires more work to get that punchy look but that's not a deal breaker.
@@Psyclonus7 Not really. There are some pitfalls of the R5II that bug me that were never an issue on the R6II. But as a professional working filmmaker I thought it was nice to have the new features. And I still have my R6II just in case.
@@BrunoPozo4Real I was being too flippant, but I would NOT recommend changing the settings for CLOG2, especially for beginners. Just turn CLOG2 on and leave it alone. For the viewing LUT, you can turn it on elsewhere in the menu for both LCD and HDMI out without having to go into the CLOG2 settings. Also, jacking sharpness up that high is a baaad idea in my opinion. Cinematic usually equates to softer, not sharper. but even if you want it sharper, you can add it in post. But you can't take it away if you jack it up in-camera. Then you started changing more obscure settings, and I horrified stopped watching haha.
@ I understand, these are just my settings and I did mention you can just leave it at default if desired. And I didn’t know we can turn the LUT on/off elsewhere in the menu! I’ll have to check that out cause I hate how hard it is to access rn haha. And sharpness is preference, even with my added sharpness it looks soft (imo). But you’re right, it’d be safer to leave sharpness off and add it in post, but that takes so much processing power that I just prefer doing it in camera to save me time and power. As for making images soft for cinematic purposes, that’s preference too. Some of these other settings I changed like NR were actually recommended by Gerald Undone who did a great video on that setting. But to each their own. Sorry for causing frustration with my recommendations 😅
@ thank you! I did see that option but I never liked Canon’s view assist lut, that’s why I upload a custom one. Still useful for checking exposure quickly though
What videos about the Canon R5 Mark Ii would you like to see next?
Great video, Bruno! Thanks for sharing 👊🏻❤
Thank you! I try my best :) cheers 🥳
@, keep it up! You’re going places, my friend 🤘🏻
Thanks!! this was made for me :D
So glad I could help! Happy shooting 🎥
Well explained thx 👍
Glad I could help :) if any questions come up I am happy to help
Loved the video ! Would be nice to have a similar one regarding using RAW recording
Awesome, that will be added to my list of videos to make. Cheers!

@@BrunoPozo4Real Thank you for the help!!! Like the results after adjustment of some these parameters. Looking forward to your video!
Happy to help. I’m excited to share the results!

Do you know what the dual iso range. 800 and
is it 3200 or 4000 iso
It is 800 and 4000 iso.
@ awesome thank you
You’re welcome
How is it vs clog 3?
It's less contrast-y, has a much nicer roll off in the highlights, and has those 2-3 extra stops of dynamic range. So ultimately I really love having C-log 2 for those reasons. C-log 3 is still great and I do like how punchy it can be. Clog-2 requires more work to get that punchy look but that's not a deal breaker.
Is it worth upgrading from a R6 Mark 2?
@@Psyclonus7 Not really. There are some pitfalls of the R5II that bug me that were never an issue on the R6II. But as a professional working filmmaker I thought it was nice to have the new features. And I still have my R6II just in case.
@BrunoPozo4Real what are the issues?
@@Psyclonus7sounds like the topic of a future video 😁
Please, anyone in the sound of my voice. Or sight of my voice. Don't listen to anything this guy says.
Did I state something incorrectly? I try my best to research before my videos :)
