My Favourite Sony Picture Profiles With Settings - Sony A7S iiii, A7iv & FX3

[@bluecollarentrepreneur3377]

I’m a little stumped… I setup my camera to match your exact settings (3rd option) but when I pull the footage it still looks bland and not that colorful right out of the camera like you said. Help!

[@fjuraa]

Where can I find the correction LUT?

[@spearcy]

The Sony factory settings have Picture Profile 8 set up the same way that you set your Picture Profile 7.

[@sstteevveenn77]

I used to prefer S-Cinetone over Slog3 but then I discovered the Phantom Luts and I’ve never gone back to S-Cinetone. The colors on Slog3 w/phantom luts turn out way better and its just a one-click solution. Not to mention you get several lut variations. It looks VERY similar to Arri Alexa colors. I always found myself tweaking S-Cinetone in post which defeats the purpose of being a straight out of camera profile. Now I only use S-Cinetone for home vids or quick social media posts. Its still a great profile.

[@DannyBligh]

Yeah, i used s-cinetone all the time too. Log was always a challenge for me until maybe 6 months ago and now i’ve never looks back. Like you said, s-cinetone is great for quick turnaround 👌🏻 Thanks for watching

@sstteeveenn77 How to get theese luts

[@jacksonpetit1983]

Tried this on a shoot and it works so well! Happy I came across this! Thanks!

[@DannyBligh]

Glad it helped!! That’s what I like to hear. Cheers Jackson!

[@KS_Films]

I love the s-cinetone so easy to work with!!

[@DannyBligh]

100%!! Weddings are bliss with it. Use it every time!! 👌🏻

[@PreethamRameshNaik]

Where can I download S cinelog lut?

[@HiethGeorge]

Those wedding shots are amazing like the ides of reducing the sharpness .... so much to learn - top notch video as always !

[@DannyBligh]

It’s super subtle. Not always needed either. But it can help at times 👌🏻 thanks for watching

[@Davidvrjsullivan]

forgive me but there is pp1 to pp11? which one of these match the best for the cinetone for weddings?

[@mattduncan5500]

How do you COLOR SPACE TRANSFORM for S-Cinetone, because as far as i can see. its not listed anywhere ???

[@ElliHoy]

Is there a way to play with the hues in camera? e.g I want to turn the blues slightly teal.

[@DannyBligh]

Yeah, go to colour phase in your pp settings, go to blue and make in + instead of 0. I think that’s the right way but if not, make it negative

[@jeremiassaenz4848]

Where can i buy the conversion lut you speak about for your SlogCinetone profile?

[@DannyBligh]

I use a standard slog3 conversion, as I was go retain the colours that s-cinetone gives me. I may have done things differently when I made this but yeah, that’s how i do it now

[@osmankerimben2149]

S CINELOG 3 🔥🔥🔥 thnks again I just subscribed!!!! 👍🏼

My pleasure!!

[@jerryloradrifter]

Was that wedding venue near Athens, Georgia, USA?

[@DannyBligh]

No, from the UK. Not had the opportunity to visit the states yet

[@jerryloradrifter]

Well sir it was a great video. Much appreciated!

[@treysoulss]

I can’t find the REC709 converter lut

[@JeronimoAmbience]

What is the name of that correction LUT that matttih discovered and bought, and that you bought too?

[@DannyBligh]

I just got it from his website when I got it mate ☺️ it’s part of his Sony lut pack but I just wanted to understand how his correction lut worked so had to buy the whole thing 😂

[@gurugamer8632]

Does A7SIII have Venice colours like the FX3?

[@DannyBligh]

Long story short, yes. However, to be a little more accurate. Both the Sony A7Siii and FX3 have S-Cinetone as a colour profile when in video mode. S-Cinetone is a colour profile that was firstly made available on the Venice. It may not be 100% the same but it's based on it

[@markshirley01]

Danny what is the 1080p like on the A74, is it worth shooting HD 10 bit.

[@DannyBligh]

Not yet got my hands on the a7iv, but if it’s anything like my a7siii, it’s great! I don’t use it often but it’s a really nice quality in comparison to the a7iii. And having 10bit colour is very versatile. Sorry I can’t give you an exact answer!

[@fs_almahmoud]

thank you very much .. Shall I set the Zebra level 100+ in S-cinelog3 pp ? What do you recommend? And the Exposure Comp. Shall I leave it as a +0.0

[@DannyBligh]

Anytime you use a gamma that is S-log3 zebras should be around 91+ for highlight blowout. As for exposure comp, there’s no right or wrong. I was filming yesterday and some scenes were above +2, others +0.3

[@Bobsmithabc]

S-Cinetone clipping point is 109, S-Log 3 is 94

[@rokkstar8129]

is this info for the Zebra-Settings?

[@Bobsmithabc]

@@rokkstar8129 yep

[@dennis8927]

What PP number is s-cinetone on the Sony a7siii?

[@DannyBligh]

If you haven’t changed any of the settings, as standard it’s pp11 but you can set any of the pp’s to any settings you want

[@dennis8927]

@@DannyBligh ok thanks so much! I didn’t know that

[@TheTopseat]

Any suggestions for a good B&W profile setting?

[@DannyBligh]

Not really, anytime i’ve shot for b&w i’ve always filmed it in a log profile, corrected it for rec709 and them graded it to be black and white. On the few times i’ve done this, i’ve used a s-log3 gamma with sgamut3.cine colour. Colour isn’t a major thing but you still need the b&w grade to reflect a good balance and separation between colours. Sorry I can’t help any more!

[@TheTopseat]

@@DannyBligh thanks for the reply. Much appreciated 🙏🏼

[@billem16]

my friend, you mentioned that you use S-Cinetone for all of your wedding work, but then at the end you said that using SLOG3 with Scinetone colors is what you use for 90-95% of all your work. So which one do you use for weddings? Have you moved on to Slog3? Or still Scinetone? thanks

[@DannyBligh]

So for weddings we were using just straight-up S-Cinetone all of the time. But weddings were only a small portion of my work when this was filmed last year. All of my KZbin content and client work which is the 90-95% is filmed with s-log 3 gamma, scintone colour. Since filming this we have now made the move to film in just s-log3 with s-cinetone for everything including the weddings. Hope that helps?

[@billem16]

Yes thank you sir

[@Pfagnan]

@@DannyBlighI just switched on my a7Siii from straight S-Cinetone to S-Log 3 because of some clients who do their own edits and require it! I found it tough to expose and grade. HOWEVER I recently discovered (whois MattJohnson youtuber) who turned me on to S-Log 3 PP8 but using the S-Cinetone Gamma!! WOW what a great look as you suggest and very easy to apply a Sony Lut or Alexa LUT. THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO and confirming my decision. For me it’s the best of both world’s and a nice compromise with easy work flow and the client still is happy cause it is basically still S-Log 3!!

[@cristianperaltafoto]

One question, which profile you use in low light situation? For example dance floor? SCinetone have enough dynamic range?

[@DannyBligh]

S-cinetone should be fine for most situations. But I personally use slog3 for literally everything now. I forget that I don’t have to use log sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@anarabicdp]

I'm going from the a73 to fx3. I use cine4 pp on the a73 as it allows for some editing. What do you recommend for me on the fx3? Will s cinitone replace it? I don't want to use log btw

[@DannyBligh]

I’d say either stick with cine4 and get comfortable with the camera first or you can go and use s-cinetone straight away

[@anarabicdp]

@@DannyBligh cool thanks

[@ruff1draft]

Is there a Neutral picture profile

[@DannyBligh]

There is a ‘pp off’ but not really (not that i’m aware of anyway) of a neutral one

[@stilgoin]

Does this apply to the A7 III ?

[@DannyBligh]

Unfortunately not mate!! When I owned my A7iii I used s-log 2 or cine 4 depending in the situation. S-log 2, s gamut3.cine colour

[@osmankerimben2149]

Thank youuuu very much for the video. Which Zebra you recommend 95,100 or 100+ ? 😉

[@DannyBligh]

Depends what gamma you’re working in. For cinetone gamma, 100+, slog3 91+

[@osmankerimben2149]

@@DannyBligh S CINETONE & S CINELOG3 😉 thnks a lot for the quick response

[@heyoBRAVO]

Quick question! When using S-Log with Cinetone color, is it still recommended to overexpose a bit and mind the ISOs (base 800 on A7IV)?

[@DannyBligh]

Yeah, regardless of any colour mode as long as you are using a gamma of slog2 or slog3, always treat it the exact same as any other log footage

[@PylotChris]

Sweet video! Do you use Zebras when you're trying to expose s cinelog, and if so what do you set them as?

[@DannyBligh]

Yeah, or at least I did. I think I set them to 100+. I think you can do 106+ (may be wrong) but yeah, 100+ is fine. Works well for hybrid shooting

[@Pacojerte2022]

What's the native ISO when NOT using picture profile?

[@ShutterSpeed_auto]

80 and 1600 i think

[@munjelo1]

Danny, wich PP is now PP8 on new fx3 2.0 firmware?

[@DannyBligh]

I wasn't aware it had changed Jakov. But regardless, you can change any of the profiles to be what you wish. My pp8 is SLog 3 but I know that PP7 is normally SLog 3. Sorry that I can't help you more
