![]() If the color gamuts don’t match the output results from V-Log LUTs will not be similar, especially in the case of third-party LUTs created for the Varicam. The Varicam has an extended color gamut (V-Gamut) that the GH5 cannot match. If both V-Log L and V-Log are the same, why have an “L”? ![]() I will be testing how to expose V-Log, but for now here’s a video I made for the Sony a7S that should give you an idea of how to go about it: It would be foolish to assume the colors will be close to the Varicam. In practice however, these low-end but capable cameras are color-limited. So in theory the combination of V-Log and V-Gamut must deliver more colors than any profile or Rec. The other thing to know about V-Log is that it operates in a much larger color space and gamut known as V-Gamut: So you can see that middle grey must fall at 42 IRE. This is how you install it:įirst you need to know where the levels stand in V-Log. To get V-Log you need to purchase an additional license ( B&H) for $97 or so. You get a maximum of 12 stops in V-Log L, and this is the mode you choose for highest dynamic range for video.īoth V-Log L and V-Log have the same gamma curve and you use the same LUTs designed for the Varicam. Log provides you a flatter image with the most dynamic range possible. V-Log L is supposedly the light version of V-Log, the log format found in the Panasonic Varicam. It remains to be seen how big the difference really is in the Panasonic GH5, so stay tuned! What is V-Log L and how’s it different from V-Log? But I’ve made two excellent videos that will give you a lot of food for thought (Thoughts on 8-bit vs 10-bit in the GH5):Īnd a primer of the differences between RAW, Log, Compressed codecs and uncompressed HDMI:īased on my past experiences with cameras in this range there will be a slight benefit to recording externally, but it’s only necessary under certain situations like chroma keying and so on. I will only know this once I have my hands on the camera, which should be sometime in the second week of April. Is there a benefit in recording 10-bit externally? The key takeaway here is you can get 10-bit 4:2:2 via HDMI, but if you’re recording both internally and externally at the same time, then at 50p and higher the color drops to 8-bit 4:2:0.
