[@426Studios]

I just watched this video so I am sorry if I am late in commenting but I wanna just correct some misconception. First is the green tint issue. There is no green tint issue on Slog3 provided that you used a good accurate lighting such as Nanlite and Aputure lights, you have the right white balance setting on your camera, and your scene really doesnt have that issue at all like for example light bouncing off a green leaf so of course your subject will have a green tint, and you used CST or ACES transform if you are on Davinci Resolve, or if you are on Premiere or FCP, then you should use the LUT provided by Sony themselves because it will correctly map your image from Slog3 to Rec 709. You dont need to adjust the color phase setting. As for setting the right white balance, just match the setting to your light source so for example if your light source is 5600k then set your camera to 5600k, if its tungsten then set it to around 3000-3600k. Setting custom white balance and point it to what you think is a white object such as walls can be very bad because most likely those objects are not pure white. The safest bet is to just know what is the light source of your scene because most likely you wont have a pure white object for the custom white balance to work properly. I'm not sure about Alister Luts though I think it can be a very good show LUT for your camera monitor, but the safest bet during post is just to use Sony's Slog3 to Rec 709 LUT or their other transform LUTs depending on what color space output you would need, perhaps DCI-P3 output. Sony's LUTs are the safest bet to have an accurate starting point in post because they themselves are making the camera and know fully the color science because they made it therefore they could correctly map it. As for the saturated red, that shouldn't happen if you used Sony's LUT, unless the object is really a highly saturated red in real life. There shouldn't be any issues if you are using Sony's LUT, or if you are in Davinci Resolve the ACES transform or Color Space Transform (CST) because as what I've said, they should properly mapped it to the desired output color space. It should properly show you how the scene really was if you properly shot it so if the reds on your scene is really not highly saturated then it shouldn't be that saturated when its being transformed. Of course, the LUTs should be during the end of your pipeline because all LUTs are destructive in nature if you grade after applying the LUT.

[@SuperSetCA]

Hi, it looks like the Alister chapman link takes you to the Venice Look LUTs and once you download those, they only have SLog2 LUTs?

[@NOlimitsON]

Hey! On the website you can find luts for both slog2 and slog3

[@GastonShutters]

I believe you don't see zebras at 100 because Slog three clips white at 94 IRE

[@chtdkmn]

What do you suggest for sony zv-1? I do what you say but i have to much exposure on my face when i vloggin.

[@NOlimitsON]

Watch my video on S-Log2 and also you can use Movie Gamma and Movie Color for faster grading

[@feuillemorte]

"I use zebras at 95 because at 100 the camera won't show you the zebras for some reason" It's because you passed the max clipping point for slog 3 and sony stops to show you zebras. You could read more about it here: helpguide.sony.net/di/pp/v1/en/contents/TP0000909109.html So, for slog 3 the clipping point is 94% and for slog 2, for example, it is 106%

[@NOlimitsON]

Thanx!

[@antonisdavis2288]

hallo! ibyhink that Gearald Undone says to expose with zebras at 65, why you say at 95?

[@feuillemorte]

@@antonisdavis2288 Hi! If I remember correctly he speaks about 55% (which is 1.3 steps overexpose of a gray card (which should be originally at 41% for s log 3 if you take a look at the sony help guide above). 65% might be a skin tone exposure (he shows how to use zebras for different skin tones on some of his videos). But in my comment above I speak about the maximum values for slog 3 and why you cannot see zebras if you set zebras on 100%. Sorry for my English if I wrote it a bit unclear! P.S. From my little experience it's fine to expose using 95% (or maybe a bit less, like 90% to be more safe) if you shoot nature outside and you have a bright source somewhere (like sky). It won't so good as if you expose it really correctly, but you need to keep in mind that you need to use gray cards for correct exposure every time when lighting is changed. And it means you will spend a couple of minutes for almost every shot outside. So, from my point of view (but definitely I might be wrong) you can use zebras on 95% for travel videos since you usually don't have time to expose properly your shot, especially if you don't shoot a person as a main object in your frame. But everyone choose whatever it works for him :) If you have good results in the end and you are not going to sell your footage, so why not? :)

Using s log 3 with s gamut 3 cine on my smartphone using mcpro 24FPS application, loving the dynamic range and less noise and 0 banding. Sony imx 682 image sensor in my realme 7 already has the reddish tint so I face no green tint issue while grading faces☺️

@@NOlimitsON gotcha. Thanks!

[@AnthonyValli]

Very straightforward tutorial, thank you! If I'm understanding right, the best use of LUTs isn't to apply drastic filters to your image, but instead to do these two things: A) In post, easily convert your log footage into a more manageable color space like Rec 709 while still keeping the extra image data that log affords. B) While shooting, using in-monitor LUTs made for log to get a less flat, easier to see image, while also helping you expose to the optimal level. Am I getting this right, or am I way off base? Thanks again! I just started using the A7SIII with the Ninja V for work and want to make sure I'm getting the most out of them.

I use cine4 on my sony a7III, a6400 and a7 IV. As a wedding videographer there are a lot of times that you can't really take a lot time to expose properly because things are happening really fast sometimes. So in my opinion, if you don't expose SLOG properly, there will be too much noise. With cine4, you have a bit of room to tweak it a little bit and you expose to what you see= faster edition. I would love to do it in S-LOG. I do not use CINETONE because it's harder to match my b/c cameras to my main camera (a7 iv). If the others had cinetone, I would use cinetone.

[@NOlimitsON]

I used to use Cine4 as well, and I also shoot weddings occasionally, but since I’ve learned how to work with slog - the results are miles better and I use it all the time.

I have watched a lot of videos on this topic and many of them touched upon the points you've mentioned, but none did so with such efficiency and accuracy. Very concise and thorough explanation, thank you for this! One question, which I think I already know the answer to but want to confirm if I am correct. When I set the zebras to the IRE for skin tones (75%ish depending on skin tone), I'm following the same process as exposing at 95% IRE for non-human subjects? Set the zebra level to around 75% and once the zebras show on the persons skin, dial it back 1/3 of a stop. Is that the gist of it?

[@NOlimitsON]

Thanks mate) I appreciate it! Yes, you just expose as bright as possible, but so the skin doesn’t have any zebras on it.

[@VeeTravels]

Thank you so much for this in-depth video, Aran. At 2:30, I saw you brought down the brightness of the entire shot. Did you bring the exposure down across the board. Wouldn't it be better to bring down the Gamma/ mid tones instead to prevent the shadows from being crushed? I am genuinely curious because I shoot most of my videos slightly overexposed (+0.7) to retain detail in the shadows and mid-tones. I generally just bring the Gamma wheel down a bit and put the highlights to around -20 to make the image look less bright.

@@41vids hey) I increase ISO up to 3200 if I need to brighten up the picture, and if it’s still not bright enough I skip to second native iso - 12800

[@41vids]

NO limits ON thank you so much it works just tested that :)! do you ever experience color banding in the floors/walls when using slog3? For some reason I am getting perfect exposure now, but with 4K 30fps XAVC S 10bit 4:2:2 I am getting some color banding in the walls/floors …. Any idea how I can fix this while recording?

[@NOlimitsON]

@@41vids hey) you can have some banding in extreme colorgrades or after exporting the file in low bitrate for instance)) you can check my video on ProRes RAW (there actually 2), there I show the difference between 8 bit, 10 bit and 12 bit - and you can clearly see where the banding appears

[@AexoeroV]

4:36 why the detail is lost in the table cloth of the A7S3? Thanks!

[@NOlimitsON]

???

[@AexoeroV]

​@@NOlimitsONlook at the texture of that cloth, no detail in it for the A7 footage.

Sony 6300 S log 3 best settings….

[@NOlimitsON]

For a6300 I suggest S-Log2 - I have a separate tutorial about it on the channel

[@HiddenOaksMedia]

Thank you so much. Can you elaborate on why slog2 works better for 8 bit? Using an a7c and not sure which picture profile will allow me the most flexibility in post

[@NOlimitsON]

Hey)) Welcome) 8 bit is very limiting in terms of colours - only 16 million vs 1 billion on the 10 bit. So the less saturated the picture profile and the flatter the profile (S-log3 is much flatter, than S-log2), the more you need to push the colours and exposure in post - so you'll change colours more and you can have some banding in gradients of colours and some blocks of colour, because there is just not enough colour info, especially with heavy grades. So my advice is to use Slog2 on 8 bit (still exposing at +1.7 - +2 stops), and Slog3 on 10-bit cameras.

@@NOlimitsON I switched to the FX3/ninja v and circled back to this video. You saved me so much time

[@NOlimitsON]

@@HiddenOaksMedia Nice to hear! Thank you!

[@Kamfal]

Short and to the point...thank you. Using Zebras for exposure gets alittle more complicated if you are outside or your subject has a bright background because you will most certainly have zebras displayed on the background if you are using Multi Metering Mode because camera is metering all of the image. Which exposure metering mode do you use? are you constantly changing modes as you go?

[@NOlimitsON]

Thanks) I just use multi-metering from the whole sensor and often change zebras from 95 to 75 to expose the skin correctly

[@tmonkeypunch]

I've always used a custom Cine4 PP when I used to shoot on the a6300 and the A7III because of the 8-bit colors like you mentioned, and still do with the A7SIII, but after watching this video I might give S-log 3 a try.

[@NOlimitsON]

Give it a try, you'll love it))

[@xiaoyiyingmusic]

So when you use A7iii, what log pp you use? Slog 2? Thanks in advance

[@tmonkeypunch]

@@xiaoyiyingmusic for the A7III, I would use Cine4. I would avoid using log with 8-bit.

Question: what software is that at 01:07?

[@NOlimitsON]

Final Cut Pro X

[@dinhnhat1528]

can we shoot 60fps in SLOG3,i saw some people recommend not to.What’s your opinion?

[@NOlimitsON]

Of course we can))

[@blackboom76]

Straight to the point! So helpful

感谢这个视频让我在slog上准确的曝光了，感谢！！！！

[@fphrigian8183]

Is this achievable on a A7iii/A7Riii ?

[@NOlimitsON]

I guess no, these cameras are 8-bit, but I have a separate video on Slog2 recording on 8-bit cameras ☺️

What is your opinion on the ISO160 provided by Sony for s-log3 in a7siii? Is it exploitable? Can we use it and when?

[@NOlimitsON]

It is usable, but you'll sacrifice dynamic range, so better use ND-filters when possible and keep the ISO at 640
