thank you so much for this! i have a fujifilm camera coming soon and i had absolutely no idea what the differences were, let alone much information about them at all. this helped me so much! 🙌🏽

Great video. Thanks for the quick to the point notes .

Great comparison, thanks for the upload!

I just got my XH2s. I've always loved Eterna. I'm not sure about my color grading skills but I'll give F-Log 2 a go. Thanks for the overexpose the F-Logs tip. Keep up the good work.

Appreciate you putting this together. Looking forward to getting my xh2s!

Enjoy and happy filming! I’m sure you will!

Thanks. As an amateur it helps me learn more quickly to see practical comparisons. To me it looked like Flog2 seemed nicer when the scene has more contrast or deeper shadows. I have the X-H2. As you probably knew already, the X-H2 has base ISO 500 for Flog and 1000 for Flog2. I'll be using it more often as I recently learned the hard way by some blown out highlights taking some of the quality out of what I had filmed.

Hey man, thanks for putting in the work. Was on the fence of using F-Log 2, probably going to give it a try now. Like the real world approach, makes more sense than just technical stuff. Thanks!

Yeah F-Log 2 is my go to

I also noticed the increased saturation of F-log 2 straight away. The new profile has a kind of colorful, ‘silky’ look. Everything rolls of fairly smoothly and is rich in color. I love that vibe!

Agree 100% I think Fuji was going for a Arri look with more vibrancy

Fantastic video!

Excellent....Thanks!!!

Awesome ❤❤ thank you

I have found it harder to grade over exposed flog2 compared to under exposed flog2, but you're right the low end noise in flog2 is pretty prevalent so it makes sense to error high. It's funny to me that I came to the same conclusion on this before watching your video, that being flog1 is much more suited for low light because the noise floor and flog2 for bright scenes and high dynamic range.

I shoot F-Log2 regardless of the lighting. Noise can be repaired, (I’ve had no problems underexposing for hightlights) but the 14bit readout of F-Log2 in the XH2s is irreplaceable.

Informative vid man, keep them coming. Love the xh2s! just wish you tried to match the two flog videos for better comparison.

Yeah but they are so different color and exposure wise matching them is a challenge. But I’ll keep that in mind thanks

@@lexgraham That's good to know. Perhaps it makes sense to JUST shoot Flog2 if that's the case!

THANK U SIR... SAME AS XH2

nice one

I think you switched clips on the first test in the green field at 2:15. The f-log2 is probably on the right, and not on the left? The left one looks horrible, it has a magenta cast to it. Hardly a better look than f-log, if it's correct.

The link to the site in the description doesn't work

Great video! May I ask if you have any tips regarding Zebra levels for skin tones in F-log2? When I set mine to 70% like I used to on F-log, they are way overexposed!

Thanks. I started using false color in a monitor to properly expose. I feel like it’s the best way. But if I had to use zebras, dial in like 60%

I just can't decide between the two, f-log2 seems to fare better with very saturated and bright sunlit colours and for the most part they look somewhat accurate, although slightly undersaturated sometimes, while far cleaner noise wise, f-log 1 seems to clip some colours even below 70% zebras and i've seen some wildlife footage i've done in f-log1 be mildly ruined due to being slightly overexposed and shifted colours. But also while being at risk of overexposure, f-log 1 in perfect conditions aree so high quality a still frame can pass as a photo in social media, while f-log2 noise is visible often even when at lower resolutions.

I’d say if you want the most control over the image for post, go with F-Log 2 and stay at the the 1st and 2nd base ISO’s 1250 & 3200 as much as you can

Great video. Do you still have your S5? How does this compare?

Hello friend! As I understand it, flog2 needs to be overexposed in +0.3/+0,7 With this, it is clear, and how much interest does a zebra cost you?

When I first got it I was over exposing like I used to do F Log but F Log 2 I’d say expose at +0.3 or +1 at most. Set your zebras to 85% when exposing for highlights
