Great quality and colors! I watched this video on my big screen TV in HDR and on iMac 2017 in SDR, and both versions are very good. I would say that the picture quality on the HDR TV is better, but the quality of the picture on the SDR screen is very good and is not much behind. To me, your video is a perfect confirmation of the benefits of shooting in HLG underwater. Thank you for sharing. I hope you do not mind if I share your video on my Facebook account.

Thank you very much for your positive words - I’m pleased that you’ve found the video valuable. I wanted to show incredible HLG HDR can look underwater especially with the extra colour space BT2020 can bring. It adds a whole additional depth of colour, luminance and also an authenticity (in my opinion) which captures the moments perfectly. I’ve also watched both versions (HDR and SDR) on different devices, and I’m super impressed as to how KZread does such a fantastic job of the conversion from HLG HDR to SDR automatically. Please feel free share the video 👍🏼

Great Footage Daniel fantastic Quality, i really enjoyed this. Thanks Klemens

Nice work Daniel. About to take my A7S3 down tmrw here in Philippines with similar rig (Keldans and ambient filters), I have been shooting HLG for commercial shoots above water with great results, will try HLG tmrw as well as SLOG3 to see what works best. Looking forward to see more of your work, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Gary 🙏🏼 Good luck with your dives! I too look forward to seeing your content - and would love to hear your thoughts about both HLG vs SLOG. I found SLOG does let some more light in at the crucial 12800 ISO, but the extended BT2020 colour space with HLG outweighs the benefits (in my opinion) - simply open up the aperture a bit more to let more light in and job done ☑️ I found the -1.5B and -3.5B gel filters awkward to stick onto the back of the lens and due to the space constraints with the wacp-1 I’ve asked keldan if they can make some small red filters for the Sony SEL2870 lens front. If you’d like any info / settings, let me know - happy to share any knowledge that’s of use. Happy bubbling 🤿- have a great time! 👍🏼👌🏼

@@DanielFrench Thanks Daniel. I did my first tests yesterday, published here on KZread this morning. I was using red filter on the lens itself (72mm), which seems to work fine, I also didn't want to put those gel filters on the back. Seems to work fine. I did a few HLG tests, but need to do more of both in clear water on next weekends dive.

Awesome - I’ll go check it out now! Look forward to seeing your underwater HLG footage 😉 I’m also not keen on the gel filters. I’ve asked Keldan to see if they can make me a couple of screw on filters that are small enough for the SEL2870 lens (55mm thread) and that fit behind the WACP-1. Fingers crossed they can as that’s be great!

Are you using the ambient light filter for 6 or for 12 meters?
