S-Log3 - Sony PXW-FS7 Quick Reference Manual

F. Detailed guide to the Cine El Mode
S-Log2: Sony's second generation 14 stop log gamma
curve. Excellent dynamic range, using the cameras full
recording range. Can sometimes be tricky to grade well
without the use of LUT's. This is the same curve as used in
Sony A7s.

S-Log3: 3

generation 14 stop log curve very similar to the
rd
"Cineon" standard used for digital film prints. Also very
similar to Arri's LogC. Easy to grade (especially when used
with S-Gamut3.cine). Note that the peak recording level is
only 92%, the video levels never go above this in order to
match the Cineon and Arri curves.
Recommendation: Use S-Gamut3.cine and S-log3 unless
there are good reasons to use a different combination.
