Setting The Canon Log Gamma - Canon EOS-1D X Instruction Manual

Setting the Canon Log Gamma

Canon Log gamma is gamma correction for post-production. It is
geared to maximize the image sensor's characteristics and attain a
wide dynamic range. It minimizes loss of shadow and highlight details,
and tonal information from the shadows to highlights can be
incorporated in the movie.
A movie shot with Canon Log gamma can be applied with a lookup
table (LUT) during post-production. Download the LUT data from the
Canon Web site.
If [Canon Log] is [On] for movie shooting, the following restrictions will apply:
• The shooting mode will be set automatically to <a> (Manual exposure).
(Shooting is not possible in the d/BULB, s, and f modes.)
• AF is not possible. Focus manually.
• ISO Auto will not work. Set the ISO speed manually.
(ISO speed is set to ISO 400 when ISO Auto is set.)
