My Favorite Picture Profile For The Sony A7S III, FX3, A7 IV, A1, & FX6 (MattFlat 2.0)

[@whoismatt]

😍 Color grade this picture profile FAST with my presets: whoismatt.com/luts

[@tonyblack2141]

Hey Matt! Please, which of the PPs do you recommend for the a7c? Many thanks.

[@keentuchicntshonkele2994]

what's about using S-log3 in Sony A7C?

[@artisitchuman]

Is it same for Sony ZV-E10?

[@AshishSharmaCinematic]

discount plz ...luts is very expensive

[@tylerjslattery]

Pro tip, if you use davinci resolve, grading s log 3 is as easy as dropping a color space transform into a node in the color page. Then create serial nodes before the CST to make contrast and brightness adjustments.

[@_bennieboo]

Do you still over expose to between 1.7 and 2? Do you have video on how to do this?

[@tylerjslattery]

@@_bennieboo Yep, you should still over expose slog 3 to about 1.7 stops. I did make a fast video on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2WuaZ-EqLhogMk

[@mattduncan5500]

have you you used Cine4 as suggested here, because i noticed it doesnt exist in the Gamma Color transform converter

[@chinacountrylife]

thank you for the great video! could you please make a video about picture profile for Sony ZVE10? what's the best? how to expose? what's the setting? thank you!

[@tomowens7499]

dude! great video, presented in proper order! i own a73, and i've tried plenty of customized profiles, and the other day reset them all after being frustrated with a few things... the suggestion you give here is pretty fantastic, thank you!

When I eventually move up to an FX3 I'll have to circle back here again Matt. You're stuff is always helpful, and looks great.

[@raybreezee]

i got an fx3 but 10 bit is really too heavy for my computer even with an i7 + a 2080ti. Sometimes even using proxies the footage is slow af. So i use the fx3 and shoot 8 bit with 4k 120 fps lol

[@KenNguyen92]

Thank you so much Matt, I didn't know about Matt Flat until now. Tried many ways to make the a7C footages match with the FX3 but didn't works out but now I found the way. Thank you Matt.

[@JPLUSLSTUDIOS]

Did you use lut directly onto matt flat? Does it require conversion lut?

[@IndestructibleStories]

Wow! I came across this video at the PERFECT time! Thank you so much and wish me luck in shooting today's wedding!

[@gru860]

of all the Sony A7SIII Slog3 tutorials that are available on internet, I like this video very much

[@AHN1444]

I shoot real estate videos and have been using S-Log2 for the past few years (I have an A7III, which only records in 8-bit). Last week, I did a comparison: S-Log2 vs. no picture profile. I was amazed to see that I didn’t blow out the windows, and for the few that were slightly overexposed, I was able to lower the whites and recover the details-they weren’t clipped. In another test, I deliberately overexposed both profiles to compare noise levels, and to my surprise, S-Log2 was noisier. Additionally, the Lumetri histogram showed more definition in the clip with no picture profile, whereas the S-Log2 histogram seemed to have less information.

[@tomwhyte]

Hey, Matt. I'm currently shooting on the a7iii, so will be using the PP8 with cine 4. Quite often I see people recommending using polarising filters to boost the saturation and glow of colours, would you still recommend doing this even while using MattFlat?

[@munjelo1]

Matt, which PP is now PP8 on new fx3 2.0 firmware ???!!!

[@zaksocial]

Because you’ve given the piece of information that I need in the very beginning, I decided to watch the whole video. And it was interesting really. Thanks

[@chadmessick2638]

So you’re saying if using both an a7iii and a7siii, set both to cine4? Why not keep the a7siii at slog3 and the a7iii at cine4?

[@ManishVyas]

Hi Matt, your videos have been extremely helpful and specific to the detail. really appreciate your work. May I ask, how can I set the settings for Slog3 on my older Sony RX10 IV? I do not see Cine4 in the options. Can I opt for something else? My camera version is updated to 2.0. Your guidance will be appreciated. Best wishes.

[@whoismatt]

I would try Cine2 if it is available

[@CrewCinema66]

Hi Matt, I think the best thing to do to work at a wedding is to choose cinema4, this profile gives a lot of quality, it is more versatile and faster when using it, working with slog3 in this type of work may not work since with this profile you always need to manage the image within specific parameters that sometimes the light conditions do not allow, especially so that the image works well in post-production.

[@JibaroTech]

So the mattflat profile is good for matching with older Sony, but is not better than normal slog3 in the new Sony cameras? With cine4 in camera is not slog? I don’t see it as slog with a flat profile kinda confused there.

[@alcbass1]

Cheers to Matt Johnson! You get us, man! Thank you for the bottom line first, brother. I watched all the way any way because you spit gold and you communicate like best man. Keep up the good work!…

[@helloansuman]

Hi thank you for these videos. What's the settings you use for shooting KZbin video inside your studio

[@dominic-ryan]

Thanks for doing this Matt. What about extreme low light scenes where it isn't possible to over expose? I'm guessing slog 3 wouldn't be the best PP as dynamic range here isn't as important here as keeping noise out of the shadows? What would be the best PP settings to go with for this sort of situation?

[@thefrenchexpedition]

go to the second base iso which is like 12,000 something if its a sony a7s iii. then use nd filter if needed

[@AngeloDau]

the problem of cine4 is that you have very little room to adjust local light amount (balancing shadows and high lights with the right middle-contrast). Anyway is sad Sony don't provide firmware updates with cinetone to older cameras, it's only software

[@MaurandisDaRadusFilms]

I don't use cine4 in my A7iii, s-log gets the job done just fine.

[@AngeloDau]

@@MaurandisDaRadusFilms 8 bit slog or 10 bit slog?

[@jonburton2382]

Hey Matt - great video mate, really helpful! I just have a quick question - does Mattflat have a native ISO like Slog3 does?

[@tecnolatino5552]

Thanks for the video Matt! I’m pretty sure we would love to hear more about Slog3 and S-Cinetone particularly how to expose them in various situations etc. 🙏🏽

[@whoismatt]

Thanks! Working on SLOG3 video coming soon :)

[@DBFamilyVlog]

Wow well done Matt, this is so well done and explained carefully. Thank you for your suggestions, will be filming today with your settings!

[@igorvuk4454]

I know this video is old but one thing; 3:50 - you can get great color and no slog blotches and better noise on a7iii with slog3 if you change the color mode to 709 (IUT709). on gamma display assist it will look bad, but once you convert gama to 709 it will look amazing. you don't even need to convert the colors to 709. much less noise, much sharper image, much better colors on 8 bit sony cameras

[@AaronMcFadden]

You are the guy. I love your videos man.

[@whoismatt]

Thanks!

[@Kiggezoo]

Tack!

[@HideYourMilk]

One note for those on the FX3 who have updated to Firmware 2.0 in 2023: PP8 has been removed, and you now can enter true SLog3 by going into a log shooting mode through the menus.

[@IndieFilmmaker82]

What do you mean by true Slog3?

[@HideYourMilk]

Essentially, you can create your own picture profile and ensure that it is set to SLog3@@IndieFilmmaker82

[@OfficeofthePacific]

Matt, thank you for the video... I'm a little confused by a few things you said. I am an A7SIII user and around the 2:45 mark you had said to overexpose from +1.7 to +2.0 but later in the video at the 7:04ish mark you said to expose with the same settings but only +0.3 to +0.7? So which is correct for the A7SII? Thanks

[@whoismatt]

a7sii is 0.3 to 0.7. a7siii is 1.7 to 2.0

[@OfficeofthePacific]

@@whoismatt Copy. Thank you, Matt 🙏

[@telemac92]

Hello Matt, thanks for your video. However, I am afraid your recommandation is a wrong one. I bought a second hand Sony A7SM2 and I am checking how to best use it. If I follow your proposal to change the PP8 profile by moving to Gamma Cine4... well this simply change that profile from a Log profile to a classical profile. That's it. You can confirm this by the fact, on a Log profile, the minimum ISO level is 1600. Here if you change the Gamma profile to Cine 4, you have even access to ISO 100 showing you are no more in Log profile... What set the Log profile is the Gamma you choose, nothing else. PP8 is just a place to memorize your choice, not a place that fixes the Log profile for the camera.

[@motografus4874]

thank you so much from Colombia, I'm new in the sony world and your videos has been a big tool for me, thank you

[@newkicksrock8716]

Went from A7siii to fx3. No pp8. What pplshould I use now?

[@TerryBoivin]

Always enjoy your instructional videos! Straight and to the point!

[@rengokusats]

Model was stunning at the end

[@kobuskuhn]

Hey Matt, I have a sony a7 iii, but I found that when using picture profiles the autofocus breaths a lot and struggles to lock on to a subject, etc. By shooring with the picture profile off the autopfacous is much better. This is obviusly a issue as you lose dinamic range. Have you also found this problem and if so any reccomendations?

[@chefnoelA]

this is great. I'm shooting a wedding w an a7siii and an a7iii later in april. Thanks Matt!

[@bragitup]

Same! And this is a game changer! Thank you, Matt!

[@YZshotem]

my fx3 does now have PP8 like my a7siii has....so what Picture profile should I shoot in on the FX3 since it don't have PP7,PP8 or PP9

[@eddyalmaguer1758]

Interested in an S-Cinetone vid where you shoot the same subject with cinetone v. mattflat v. 10 bit Slog!

[@fundadtv6336]

Thank you! I still have the a6500 until I can afford a higher end model. I’ve been using cine 4 and I think it does great for what I use it for. Thanks again for the knowledge! Cheers!

Can you talk a bit about PP-OFF - like its settings, comparing quality of PP-OFF footage with PP-1 through PP11, with visual examples ? Thank you

[@TomMakesVideos]

Matty back at it again with destroying my struggles

[@whoismatt]

Haha yessss

[@cj64films]

Yeah I’ve shot a ton with Cine4 and it helps that it already has some contrast baked in to the profile.

[@RavenwolfPictures20]

Love the video Matt, but as an FX6 user, I was a little disappointed to be led on considering you can't change the picture profile settings in the same way as all of these other cameras as they are all mirrorless cameras and have a different menu and different profiles to my FX6 :( thank you for creating this still though!

[@whoismatt]

Hey! You are correct that the settings may be a bit different, but the FX6 does still film with SLOG3 in CINEI mode and can be matched up to these other cameras. :) So sorry for the confusion!

[@motebike]

Attention: DO NOT use s-log 3 with 8bit 4.2.0 capable-only cameras. Use s-log 2 instead. 8bit will not be able to handle the power of s-log 3. Peace.

Is it normal that I need a fair amount of ND filtering to use PP8 outside? (F2.8 16mm)

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Hey Matt, I don't see SCinetone listed in my A7iii?

[@SymonSaysTV]

Hi ! Question Why is there tones of noise when I set my used recently bought A7s iii to pp8 S-Log 3 S-Gamut3.cine?

[@steveloudon7491]

Another question if I may. How much adjustment do you do prior to applying your LUT. Should I apply it first then make changes? Change contrast before the LUT? Set white and black point first. I'm unsure how to get the most out of the LUT. Thanks. You're great

[@whoismatt]

Hey! I usually apply the lut first then adjust from there :)

[@liiii93]

You are amazing on explaining the details! Thank you thank you !! Now i understand the difference between the cameras for mu choice and why 8 bit vs 10 bit etc. I love color grading its the most enjoying thing iknow so thanks!

[@MrAykut2010]

So you also not recommended slog 3 for sony a7r3?? Thx for you help

[@D3media_youtube]

I am assuming you don't use a ND filter for these picture profiles?

[@visualsbyeze]

Great video Matt! Best method I use when shooting with SLOG-3 on the Sony is to use the Gamma Assist feature. Really helps when determining proper exposure and getting the white balance right. I've also found that the SLOG-3 to Rec 709 Lut in Davinci Resolve works perfect for color grading.

[@whoismatt]

Gamma assist is fantastic!

[@DomSigalas]

Hey Matt! Thanks a bunch for this- long time subscriber of yours here! One question - do you tend to use filters when shooting SLog3? Which ones are your favourite NDs? Cheers! Dom

[@thekeegster8817]

do you have setting for a sony a7iii?

[@mitrihakkinen6498]

Have you tried the ”Cine4” gamma with the ”S Cinetone” color? Better dynamic range with nice colours.

[@whoismatt]

Hey! Watch my slog3 easy filmmaking settings guide. If you’re experiencing noise it’s because your exposure isn’t set bright enough
