Which Picture Style on the Canon R6 Looks Best? Here's What I Think...

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Standard looks best to my eyes with neutral coming in second. I got used to shooting in clog3 though and just apply the Canon lut in post. It can get a bit noisy depending on the scene.

[@thesahdstudio]

That's so interesting! One thing I learned but forgot to mention in the video was the way I feel about those profiles is based on the colors on my laptop. When I watch on my OLED TV for example it does look different. Would you even shoot c-log indoors in a dark setting or do you just reserve it for outdoors?

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

@@thesahdstudio I would shoot anything professional in clog 3 for the highest quality and most creative freedom in post. Also, I definitely prefer using clog 3 for outdoor scenes. Anything for fun or for KZbin would be perfectly enough in 8bit Canon standard though.

[@thesahdstudio]

@@ElBoyoElectronico Ok cool, that's kind of what I thought. I look forward to tinkering and getting there on my own. I do think the picture styles are a bit contrasty though and crush the blacks. I tested it vs a Sony a7iv and while I tried to make it a fair fight, the Sony was so much flatter out of the camera compared to the saturated/contrast out of the camera from Canon. It might have been a more even fight in the log profiles, next time I can test that!

[@caseybachmeyer]

@@thesahdstudio turn down the contrast in post, push up the shadows and bring down the highlights...or in camera turn down contrast..get the same look like the sony...if you dont like clog3

[@thesahdstudio]

I don't have this camera any more but I do like the advice! Cheers @@caseybachmeyer

i just know slog2 from sony, and still learn it. this video makes me wanna learn anything about camera. and about canon, i really enjoy canon colors even i just shoot with my old rebel t6i, the colors is very good. i like your studio footage, minimalist, simple and also the audio very clear. so i will stand to see all of your videos to inspiring myself for make a better talking head video like yours.

[@thesahdstudio]

Thank you my friend I really appreciate your words. It's so fun to do and talk about isn't it? May I ask why you shoot in s-log? Just for fun or? I use NO picture profiles on my current videos and used to use PP1 on my a6400 (after LOTS of testing) and found it looked fantastic. I think S-log is great if you shoot outdoors or somewhere with TONS of light... for indoors I personally don't see a point. Just something to think about...

[@deaafrizal]

@@thesahdstudio yap, i just want to know how slog work and how to edit that. i agree, slog more useful for outdoor, but since i'm not going anywhere this week (still rainy day here), i can't wait to edit slog footage, but will try to use PP1 like yours, i want to know the difference and i think it will good for my studio workflow. i'm doing experiment about my camera on my youtube channel without talking about that. But idk why people subscribing and stick with me, i do like both coding & film making (actually not a film, just like me talking to the cam) lol

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Awesome video!!! You have given me a few video ideas. Although I shoot in c-log3, I haven't even considered shooting in a preset profile and how it may speed up my workflow. It definitely gave me something to think about.

[@thesahdstudio]

I'm so glad! So have you found working with those giant c-log files makes your computer work hard? I'm amazed SO many people talk about working in log with files for KZbin... I mean I get it if you are delivering high quality files to a client, but for people like me just trying to make decent looking videos for KZbin, I think out of camera 8 bit is just fine. That should STILL look great right? What computer do you use? I have a 2020 Asus Zephyrus laptop with a RTX 2060 and I edit in 4k.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

@@thesahdstudio I have a fully spec'ed out desktop 3090 rtx i9 32gigs of ram. I got all the bells and whistles because I have aspirations of working with after effects and graphics designs. Because im very new to KZbin, I am still getting my workflow down, and im working on optimization. I chose to upgrade once I got an R5. But most of my videos are recorded with my R6-more manageable file sizes. I still have a lot to learn im eager to connect with channels that are similar in size to mine. Let me know if you ever are interested in sharing video ideas. So far, I have been attempting to niche into beginner-friendly product photography. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. I. About to binge your channel. All the best!

[@thesahdstudio]

@@TMVVisualMedia What a SICK setup! Love it. Ohh and you got that juicy f2 rf zoom lens too. I don't have a ton of time at the moment to check out your vids but I will do that soon! And of course, I'd love to chat more and brainstorm. ANY time!

[@yellowbearworks2535]

Very useful comparative test. I have not seen this anywhere else. So, what is your Custom 2 setting in particular, if I may ask you?

[@thesahdstudio]

Thanks for the comment! To be honest, I don't remember... this was a few cameras ago for me. I feel like I might have boosted shadows and lowered saturation. Are you rocking the R6?!

[@yellowbearworks2535]

@@thesahdstudio No, the R6 II, i hear that there are differences between the two, but this video was very thought provoking how to explore these settings further, because I am not utterly settled with the current picture setings yet. Again, thanks for sharing.

[@Matt_warren_photography]

Been hunting for a video like this for w dew days now! Like you i dont want to shoot clog im happy with a picture profile. So thanks for the video!

[@thesahdstudio]

Glad you found the video! I sold my Canon awhile ago but I miss it. There's just something special about Canon. Sony's pretty great though too, for video at least!

[@Matt_warren_photography]

@@thesahdstudio yeah I did see that in another comment! Glad your getting on well with it! Sony seem very Popular tbh!

[@methunrakesh2441]

Can you please share the custom settings for custom 2 in detail like at which level you have selected the contrast, sharpness, saturation

[@thesahdstudio]

Aww I totally should have and am disappointed in myself I didn't! Sorry :( That camera is long gone sadly 😭

[@NoMeWithoutYou1]

Agreed. Custom II.

[@thesahdstudio]

I have since got rid of the Canon and, while it wasn't a great camera for video, I do miss the colours. What camera do you use?

[@NoMeWithoutYou1]

@@thesahdstudio I use an R6 but only shoot stills with it. Does a good job.

[@elosopardo2691]

To me custom 2 looks the best. It has great contrast and depth, and colours are not oversaturated. I have notice something thoug: I think is the position of the camera, but not entirely sure. Before 4:12 It seems to be set quite high or with a different focal length, I don't know; but It makes me unsettled. I have come to the conclusion It seems as if we were looking down into a box to see a tiny man looking up at us. After that timestamp looks more natural and opened. Might also be the split lighting or the simetrical corner? Hmmm let me know what you think

[@thesahdstudio]

Haha that's awesome! I love that you pointed it out, and yes, I fully agree with you. To be honest, since I just got the camera a couple days ago, I have not yet spent the time setting up my studio. I've just been familiarizing with the camera itself. I just plopped it on the tripod and start shooting for those earlier shots. I didn't mean to get that shot after 4:12 but when I saw it later I was like, that's WAY better! So yes, I will be keeping that moving forward. Good catch. And that's interesting you also like Custom 2. It's so personal isn't it? Also I think the screen one watches it on makes a big difference. That laptop I edit on and the oled TV I watch at night are totally different.

[@elosopardo2691]

Your videos are methodic, With a great edition. It is also easy to click on a video that is not as long as others. You are charismatic and explain patienly. All that adds to an awesome quality. Congratulations, Keep going, you are doing great.

[@thesahdstudio]

@@elosopardo2691 Aw what a great way for me to start this day, reading your comment... Thank you for the positivity. Creating KZbin content can be a lonely, slow road. I do it though so I can find and chat with people like you! I'm not going to lie, times are tough and the price of this new camera really hurts. I was looking at some of my latest footage with my a6400 on my other channel (The SAHD Life) and was considering just going back to it.... what do you think? I am really loving this Canon though so, we shall see! I have some really fun tests coming so stay tuned and any time you wanna chat cameras/videos please comment. Cheers!

[@elosopardo2691]

@@thesahdstudio You are welcome! People that takes the effort of reserching, learning and additionally have the charisma to offer Its habilities in such a way should be more apprecieated and supported. About going back to the other camera... I honestly have no idea. I am just a picky amateur photograper who likes to learn about video and photography and has less idea of what is doing than what he thinks. Like half of the people in youtube. hahah ;) I have an old alpha 330 which I use once in a blue moon to make my experiments. Both of your cameras and your skills are great. Thanks for your interest Best luck on this new channel

[@naizajn]

Thank you for the comparison

[@thesahdstudio]

Thanks for watching! Do you have a Canon? I know the R6mii just came out, I am very curious to see how it looks!

[@vixpix226]

I also have the Landscape mode mode on mine.

[@thesahdstudio]

Have you been happy with the Camera? I ended up selling it as it was just a little slow as a video camera but I loved the color. I'd love to try another Canon again one day!

[@naumovinta]

what are the custom 2 settings? Please share

[@thesahdstudio]

Hi! Sorry, I actually returned that camera as I'm going to buy it used and save a lot of money. I didn't write down those settings BUT, once I get my new (used) one, I'm going to do a video on custom profiles vs. c-log so be sure to check that one out. Do you shoot with the r6? What lens do you use?

[@naumovinta]

@@thesahdstudio tamron G2 24-70 2/8 and canon 28-300 mm

@@naumovinta those seem like fun lenses. You got any dream lenses one day you'd love to splurge on??

[@retiredguyadventures6211]

I think the flesh tones popped way more in automatic then the other settings.

[@thesahdstudio]

Yeah right? And to be fair, I was probably a bit underexposed for a lot of the scenes too.

[@Maximilan20]

Hey man, still not able to get the custom 2 settings profile yet?😅

[@thesahdstudio]

Haha na, sorry my man. This was a couple cameras ago :( I think I had just slightly tuned the sharpness and saturation... it was nothing major. Aw I miss playing around with the Canon. You rocking the R6 right now? What lens?

[@we2strom]

Thanks for the detailed comparison. That's what i was looking for the M50. (out of the cam.) Really liked the standard and Custom 2. What are your settings for Custom 2?

[@thesahdstudio]

Thanks for watching! I love making videos like this. Can't wait to make more like it in the near future. To be honest it's been awhile since I had this camera and I don't remember the exact settings... doh! I think it just had the saturation and maybe clarity down a bit.

[@MrAquarius006]

Neutral and custom 2 !

[@thesahdstudio]

Yeah I think you're right. Good answer! I would be using those if I still had that camera 😂

[@Maximilan20]

Would be nice if you should your custom 2 settings

I know right? I totally forgot and no longer have that camera :(
