NOTES NOTES
• About the logarithmic gamma curve (Canon Log 3)
This gamma curve assumes the need for post-production processing. It was designed to make the most of
the imaging sensor characteristics in order to obtain impressive levels of dynamic range.
- In mode, you can apply a LUT to the LCD screen and viewfinder and to video output from the SDI
terminal or HDMI OUT terminal to use gamma curve settings more suitable for viewing on a monitor screen.
- There are also other LUTs available that can be applied for processing in post-production. For the latest
information on available LUTs, please visit your local Canon website.
