SLOG: White Balance •When shooting in SLOG, the white balance must be set in the Picture Profile settings/COLOR MODE • Set the correct color temperature for the correct S -GAMUT setting • For SLOG 2 use a S -Gamut setting plus temp. for SLOG 3 use a S -Gamut3.Cine setting plus temp.
Common Color Temperature Settings •LCD Monitor: 6500K • Daylight: 5500 K • Florescent Indoor: 4300K • Tu n g s t e n I n d o o r L i g h t o r a S t re e t a t N i g h t : 3 2 0 0 K • Incandescent Indoor Light: 2500K
SLOG: Gamma Display Assist •Sony has a provided a Gamma Display Assist to normalize the LCD image when shooting in SLOG • Don’t use it. Turn it off. • Because you are overexposing, the image in the LCD will look washed out. • Use the Histogram and the Zebra Stripes to judge exposure. • The FS5 cannot import LUTs.
SLOG and ISO settings •The higher ISO, the more the dynamic range is reduced. • ISO 3200 in SLOG gives you the maximum dynamic range. • Changing ISO to AUTO will cause it to change so keep exposure on manual at 3200 ISO if possible.
Shooting SLOG: OVEREXPOSE You must overexpose for SLOG shooting. Ideally you will have no important information in the shadow areas of your image. The easiest way to overexpose properly is to use Auto IRIS and set the AE shift to 1.5 EV. This will overexpose the image by 1.5 stops. You cannot use FULL AUTO when shooting SLOG. Use manual exposure control but AUTO IRIS.
SLOG: Zebra Stripes •If you want to manually expose using SLOG consider using the Zebra Stripes as a reference. • Set the Zebra Level to 70 • Use this a reference for flesh tone highlights.
SLOG: Manual Exposure •Use the histogram when exposing SLOG • Push all the information into the mids and highlights on the histogram. • Keep all important information above 30 IRE (one third of the way up on your histogram). • Think that all your image information will be shifted towards the shadow areas later on. So you must leave some room. • You can overexpose by 1.5 to 2.5 stops. • 2 Stops over seems ideal. Darker skin tone areas will be at 70 IRE, your zebra stripe level. • At 3 stops of overexposure you lose too much color information.
S LOG and Overexposure •You never want to underexpose with SLOG but you can overexpose. • Generally the overexposed highlights will blow out more gradually than in Rec.709. You may want this effect. • You will be able to recover some detail in slightly overexposed areas.
