Custom Shooting Mode: the other Scenes
Still is high contrast Scene with saturated colours. Avoid it! Superficially it can look great but
it gives you no room to adjust in post if the exposure is incorrect. Oversaturated colours will
also look noisy in the shadow areas.
Standard is a lower contrast, less saturated look than S-Cinetone but with aggressive
highlight compression. Extreme highlights can start to have a colour shift.
ITU 709 has more contrast and colour saturation than Standard but nowhere close to the
extreme look of Still. The image looks similar to S-Cinetone in the shadows and mids but
both Standard and ITU 709 lack the highlight details of S-Cinetone. They have around 6 stops
of dynamic range.
Standard and ITU 709 work well in a situation without extreme highlights, a controlled
lighting situation.
If none of these scenes match the "look" you want, move on to Cine EI Shooting Mode and
shoot in Slog 3 (see the section on Cine EI shooting mode).
