Así como en sony, te sugiero usar iso 800, y si necesitas más luz lo más adecuado es duplicarlo, 800, 1600, 3200, etc… Si lo haces así, tendrás menos grano. Compruébalo tú mismo. Y si la cámara es 8 bits, no uses Log3, el más adecuado para 8 bits, al igual que en Sony, es Log2. Con estos 2 simples consejos tendrás mucha mayor calidad en tus clips.

As far as the reception itself, i do use Clog until things get really dark, say open dance floor. I’ll push my LOG footage up to 12,500 on the EOS R6 and still get useable footage. I will capture both LOG and also not using LOG in case the LOG footage doesnt look good though.

Great video! This is very helpful for me to learn C log shooting with my EOS R. I tested the C-log in bedroom under low light. For the curve peak to be shown in the middle of histogram, I had to turn ISO up to over 10k. Does it sound right to you? I’m using the RF 24-105 lens so the brightest aperture I could use is f/4. I also set the shutter at 1/50. Should I slower down the shutter to 1/25? Would it work for 24fp FHD shooting?

Hmm that seems pretty dark if you’re at 10,000. If you’re shooting 24fps, set your SS to 1/50, f4 and iso as low as you can. I’d suggest opening up a window or using some lights to help bring the overall level of light in the room higher. That will push down your ISO. Hope this helps!

My thoughts behind this are the same as 8bit and 10bit- ofcourse I can not see the 10bit data on a 8bit monitor but my source file is 10bit data so I can grade more precisely- so is it similar in case of bt. 709 and bt. 2020?

Do you know if the R6 uses the h.265 for 10bit HD, or is h.265 only used for 4K footage? Or is all 10bit using h.265 and all 8bit is using h.264?

If you dont shoot in LOG, the footage is very workable, but you loose the 10 bit. It’s a solid upgrade in every way possible.

So if I shoot (for now) 8bit with a regular color profile, then that would be h.264, which is the normal process. But if I go CLOG or HDR in any way, then I'm getting into the 10bit (h.265) arena and will need to use proxies. Correct? Or, use an external recorder, which is able to record in ProRes. Correct?

Hey Tony, Thanks for this video! At the Color Matrix settings what is it that you prefer in EOS Original over Neutral in terms of looks? (I don't have any experience with Canon Cine cams.) I would like to see how you grade a log footage. So far I have used Canon C-log profile in Resolve and at time of shooting I expose for the sky and in post I want lift up the face well so it doesn't look too dark it gets tedious to get to a balanced exposure. How would you go about such a challenge?

@TonyMellinger

Basically if I am shoot with cinema cameras (c100mkii or c200) and I need to match this footage, I will use the EOS Original. If I am trying to match DSLR shot in a picture profile (1DXii, 5D4, other eos r footage shot in a picture profile) I will shoot in neutral. I’ve found it’s easier to match those types of footage appropriately. As far as exposure, it would be nice to have a little more dynamic range. I find I slightly overexpose the sky and then I can bring down the highlights a bit and bring up the shadows and find a happy medium. My suggestion is keep playing and figure out how far you can push the footage in grading. I think you’ll get the hang of what is possible and the best scenario for you.

No comparison. If you’re making money capturing weddings, the R6 will pay for itself and you’ll be happy you have the newer camera.

Hey! It kind of depends what I’m shooting. The correct answer is to raise your aperture. That could get up to like f22 or something if it’s super bright. Lowering your ISO would give you grain as if you were at 800 or 1000 if it were too dark. It won’t be too bad, I would def start with lowering the ISO and then slower raise the aperture until it’s properly exposed. The best thing to do is pick up an ND filter. It’s kind of like sunglasses for your camera. I just made a video on them by the way.

Is there any way to display in linear while recording in log? Also let’s hope Canon has a firmware update where histo stays during recording. That is disappointing and confusing to me why the histo isn’t available ALWAYS!!

Do you shoot 4K on this camera or you stay at 1080p because of the crop on 4K?

@TonyMellinger

4 жыл бұрын

I use 1080 because I like 60fps for all of my Broll and the 1080 footage looks so good! I don’t mind the crop, but I’m used to cinema cameras and they’ve got a super 35 crop too. The bigger drawback for me with the 4K is the large file sizes.

Hi tony, do you have any tips on how to solve this? I tried lighting up my subject, while creating separation In the background by leaving the background completely dark. Theres a lot of grain in the background. How should i solve this scene? Thanks for the help!

@TonyMellinger

4 жыл бұрын

A really good way to create separation from the background is to add a “hair light” on the subject. Place a light on the back of the subject (out of frame of course) and then and more light on your background. Once you’re in post processing you can darken your background if it’s too bright but you won’t have any noise then.

Wonderful and Thank you. I have a work trip to Africa coming up where I will have to shoot a lot of wildlife on Canon R5. I will be shooting at 4k 120. Should I keep the profile at Cinema Gamaut or one of the BT? I will not grade the footage myself, but will go to a professional grade facility. I want to ensure I give them the best possible footage. I hope you reply! THX

@@TonyMellinger In my quest to advance my post production skills on the video side I am watching and reading like with full gusto. I read that the out put will mostly likely be 709 as this will be for the hotel's website and for their KZread Channel. So, as you say Cinema Gamut will be the best, but if the output will be 709, then should I just shoot in 709? Or Gamut will still be better. Eg: We shoot on RAW even if output is JPEG. Does the same logic apply here? THANK YOU.

@@sanjayfgupta2167 as long as you’re shooting in LOG, they can easily add a bt709 LUT in the footage. It gives them more ability to match all of the cameras they are using.

Thanks for the video. One question though. When I shoot in log, I usually use the meter to set the exposure. I set it to 0. When you set the histogram to the middle the exposure meter went to +2. Does this mean my footage has been under exposed.

@TonyMellinger

4 жыл бұрын

Those are good observations. My recommendation is to find out what works for you. I’ve found it’s somewhere in between 0 and 2 depending on the situation and lens I’m using. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll know when your footage is properly exposed.

Tony Mellinger Tony, I will experiment next week when my R arrives but perhaps you know, when in log what does meter = 0 mean? Nominal for the linear interpretation of the pixels or nominal after CLog transformation has been applied? Sorry if I’m confusing the subject here... considering your test footage shown, what did your ‘meter’ show pre and post exposure comp to bring up the low end?

@NickMirro

2 жыл бұрын

@@jmich5123 The burning question! I'm beginning to doubt the meter when shooting log. I've always heard that you should overexpose Canon log 1. There is huge detail loss in low light with log 1 unless you more or less ignore the meter. Correctly exposing as Tony recommends produces results closer to how my eyes see the subject.

@@NickMirro I have the R5 now and it’s easier to understand with both CLog and CLog3. The histo is reflecting the log values and in the case of Clog3 my approach has been to keep the low stuff up over the 20% bar. Using this approach Clog3 is ‘better’ to me in that it seems to keep the highlights tamed below saturation much better than does CLog. I’m no cinematographer so anyone who wants to critique go for it. I simply want to get better, not be the definitive opinion…. Thanks for all the insight!!

Well, your white balance will change depending on the situation. If it’s cloudy out, 6500 will probably work. 5600 is what my light temperature is so that matches the color.
