Using The User Gamma; Using The Special Gamma - Sony F35 Operation Manual

3-11-3 Using the SPECIAL Gamma

Using the S-LOG
Select SPECIAL on the first line of TABLE on the
<GAMMA> page then S-LOG (Sony Log) A on the
second line.
Sony Log (S-LOG in subsequent texts) is a gamma which
assumes use in the DI workflow (capturing filmed negative
images and creating a digital master through digital
processing for screening) in cinema production.
S-LOG enables you to monitor the latitude close to
negative film and perform the timing (color correction)
with a Sony digital cinema camera, achieving "Digital
Negative" that is the optimum negative film work flow for
digital processing.
With this "Digital Negative" you can have the conventional
shooting style, using ISO sensitivity, luminometer and the
wide latitude of negative film, enabling smooth transition
from film production to digital cinema production.
Detailed information of S-LOG is described in the "SONY-
LOG Whitepaper."
For the "SONY-LOG Whitepaper," consult your local Sony
representative.
Using the ISO 800 mode
Select SPECIAL on the first line of TABLE on the
<GAMMA> page then HG7-ISO800 or HG8-ISO800 on
the second line. HG7-ISO800 is based on HG7:
HG8009G40, and HG8-ISO800 is based on HG8:
HG8009G33, which enables high sensitivity shooting in a
wide dynamic range by applying ISO 800-equivalent
sensitivity while maintaining the characteristics of HG7 or
HG8.

3-11-4 Using the User Gamma

You can also create a desired gamma table, using a
personal computer on which software CvpFileEditor™
has been installed and load the table into the camera via a
"Memory Stick" or a LAN.
When a user gamma table is selected, control of gamma
(LEVEL or ON/OFF) may become disabled, depending on
data of the table. This is because the gamma and knee are
compulsorily fixed when creating the gamma curve.
User gamma curves are initialized with S-LOG at the
factory. (The characteristic data of S-LOG can be output in
files, using the CvpFileEditor.)
