Custom Picture Settings
The camera lets you change many settings (A 98) that control various aspects of the image produced. As a
set, all these settings are treated as a single custom picture file. After adjusting the desired settings to your
94
preference, you can save up to 6 custom picture files (in the camera or on a card), and load them later to apply
exactly the same settings (A 96). You can also save the custom picture file as part of the metadata recorded
with XF-AVC clips (A 97).
This function can only be used when the shooting mode is set to ', ‚, " or n.

About the logarithmic gamma curves (Canon Log 3 settings)
- These gamma curves require post-production processing. They were designed to make the most of the
imaging sensor characteristics in order to obtain impressive levels of dynamic range.
- There are LUTs available that can be applied for processing in post-production. For the latest information on
available LUTs, please visit your local Canon website.
