HLG3 vs S-Log2 - Which Picture Profile To Use With Your 8-Bit Sony Camera?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video we are taking a look at the HLG3 and S-Log2 Picture Profile with the Sony ZV-E10 to see what works better for an indoor studio or KZread setup.
As you might know, the ZV-E10 is an 8-bit camera that features all of Sony's picture profiles such as S-Log3, Cine4, etc. While S-Log3 can fall apart quite quickly on an 8-bit camera like the ZV-E10, S-Log2 can actually be a viable option.
I recorded this video to figure out if I should switch from HLG3 to S-Log2 for my indoor studio/talking head style of videos.
What do you think? Do you like HLG3 better or do you prefer the look of S-Log2? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

The more I get to work with HGL3, the more I get to love it. This confirms it for me.
I prefer HLG3 over SLog3 on my A7SIII as well. Underexposed footage can be easily compensated. HLG3 seems to have better shadows vs SLog3 better highlights.
Just shoot in s-log3 sgamut3cine with +32 saturation and then drop the saturation in davinci first node from 50 to 25. And voila you get good slog3 quality.

with the ZV-E10? I noticed that even with slog 2 and sgamut3cine it's starting to slightly fall apart. not noticeable but I could see it in the spectrum. also, why boost the saturation first and then tone it down again in post?

As I was expecting... HLG had deeper blues and darker blacks which I personally like, based on what you're doing with each of these. HLG wins IMO!

I agree! I kinda liked s-log2 with the sgamut.cine for the skintones but hlg3 just „pops“ 😂 the matrix color mode with s-log2 is a bit too magenta for my liking but also very easy to grade. i might test some other picture profiles on the future.

I tend to like HLG as well, even though S-LOG3 has more flexibility when editing. Besides, S-LOG3 has a minimum ISO of 800 on my A7R3 and an ISO of 1000 on my Sony ZV-1. Even after editing and applying an appropriate LUT, the video still looks washed off. Perhaps, I just don't have enough skill in editing, HENCE, I choose to stay with HLG-3. But, looking around for my FX30, which one is better?

@@halimrahmanwith my RX100 VII, I feel HLG-2 to be very good option. It’s a bit less aggressive than HLG-3. For grading, I never use any LUTs for color space conversion. Instead, I use a color managed workflow to (semi-)automatically transfer from camera color space into timeline color space. Those transfer functions built into Davinci Resolve are way more accurate than any LUT can ever be.
I think I like slog a bit more based on your video - a bit less saturated but colours seems a bit creammy/more natural
Hi David, thanks for making this video. I wonder which picture profile you think has the best performance in low light situations. Normally I shoot with pp10 HLG3, but sometimes I found obvious color banding at the sky area. I'd love to know what's your take on this. Thanks in advance!
i must say, the HGL3 BT2020 wins all the way in comparison to the Matrix mode. Simply because you can see the separatioin of the colors in the background clearly. HOWEVER the Slog 2 wins generally :) at the very end id like to thank you for the Video man, i enjoy watching your stuff a lot.. hope you make a little short 5 or 10 or 15 min Vid about your color grading in DaVinci :)), would love to learn from some more from you on the topic.

why nobody its saying that the HLG has to get color correct rec 2020 that is HDR content ONLY
HLG 🔥🙂
Sony A6400 vs Sony ZV-E10. Which one is the best for video and photography? Thanks🙏

I just watched a video today comparing those two cameras, and they had a perfect summary. a6400 is for shooting video/photos of others (videographer), and the ZV-E10 is for shooting videos of yourself (vlogger). So, depending on your use case, that should help guide you.

Both have the same sensor and functions... A6400 have viewfinder but zv-e10 doesnt have one... For photography both are good..
Wie bekommst du die Farben so schön hin, ich hätte gerne diesen Style für die Instagram Reels? Nutz die Sony ZV E10
Hi David! How do you colorgrade your foiotage? Did you use Leemen Lut ou which one do you use? Thanks man
for me hlg seems the better choice, it would be interesting in outdoor conditions with natural more complicated light to seee a comparison
why not post in BT2020 HDR?
Thats weird... When i tried the picture profiles that you recommend the image of the zv-e10 becomes very grayish, faded, lack of colors. But in your example the image barely changes.

yea that’s normal. when shooting in a picture profile, you’ll have to grade the footage later on, meaning convert it into the right color space & make your color adjustments.

Can you share your LUT?
People will spend weeks testing settings, but won't take 5 minutes to read the official Sony e10 user manual: "This camera's S-Gamut setting does not support the whole S-Gamut color space; it is a setting to achieve a color reproduction equivalent to S-Gamut". Same goes for HLG, pray as much as you want rec2020 does not exist in 8bit, you are also getting a color reproduction. If you want to shoot log, don't but an e10 vlogging camera.

As you can see on the wall behind you the picture with slog 2 setting is worse.
Most people do not understand Logarithmic Gamma Curves and WideGamut Color Spaces... SLog2 beats HLG anytime. You just need to stop using LUTs and use COLOR SPACE TRANSFORMS.

that’s not gonna happen in the near future unfortunately. i’m not a native english speaker and struggle with getting more than 2 sentences together in one take. while i’m getting better with this, i still have a long way to go. this isn’t a stylistic choice, it’s just that i can’t do it better 🤷♂️ i’m trying to improve on it though.
