Whats better slog 2 or slog 3?

S-Log3 allows for better reproduction of gradation characteristics in shadows and the mid-tone range than S-Log2. It has characteristics closer to those of scanned film. S-Log3 is recommended in general. If S-Log3 does not offer sufficient gradation in the mid- to high-luminance range, try S-Log2.

Should I use S Log2?

Generally speaking, S-Log2 is better suited for most of their consumer 8 bit cameras such as the a6000 series, a73, a7r4, etc. If you’re using a camera that can record in 10 bits or has a higher dynamic range, such at the new A7S3, S-Log3 is a better choice.

What does it mean to shoot in s log?

S-Log is a log curve which has been specially optimized for digital motion picture cameras to maximize the performance of the image sensor. Cinematographers shooting in the current REC. 709 standard have to choose whether to sacrifice detail in the highlights or the shadows.

Is HLG better than slog?

HLG3 is easier to handle during the production (it does not have to be 2 stops overexposed). Even more important, HLG delivers more accurate skin tones and an overall sharper image. Objectively, HLG3 is the clear winner.

Should I overexpose HLG?

Being underexposed doesn’t work out too well either with some odd color as well. More than 2 stops overexposed also didn’t work out too well. It’s another balancing act for HLG exposure, though it seems that 1-2 stops over is a sweet spot for it.

Is s-log the same as raw?

Raw is not Log because Log is in a video format, and raw is not video. Raw data has no video processing baked in and has to be converted into video for viewing. Log is video and has things like white balance baked into it.

Is s log the same as raw?

Should I shoot in HLG?

Shooting HLG is half the answer. Most camera’s built-in screens don’t show HLG very well. To have the certainty that you are exposing HLG correctly and getting good colors requires a HDR monitor like the Atomos Shinobi or Ninja V.
