3-11-3 Using the S-LOG
When SPECIAL is selected on the first line of TABLE on
the <GAMMA> page, the second line indicates S-LOG
(Sony Log).
Sony Log (S-LOG in subsequent texts) is a gamma which
assumes use in the DI workflow (capturing filmed negative
images and creating a digital master through digital
processing for screening) in cinema production.
S-LOG enables you to monitor the latitude close to
negative film and perform the timing (color correction)
with a Sony digital cinema camera, achieving “Digital
Negative” that is the optimum negative film work flow for
digital processing.
With this “Digital Negative” you can have the conventional
shooting style, using ISO sensitivity, luminometer and the
wide latitude of negative film, enabling smooth transition
from film production to digital cinema production.
Detailed information of S-LOG is described in the “SONY-
LOG Whitepaper.”
For the “SONY-LOG Whitepaper,” consult your local Sony
representative.
3-11-4 Using the User Gamma
You can also create a desired gamma table, using a
personal computer on which software CvpFileEditor™
1)
has been installed and load the table into the camera via a
“Memory Stick.”
When a user gamma table is selected, control of gamma
(LEVEL or ON/OFF) may become disabled, depending on
data of the table. This is because the gamma and knee are
compulsorily fixed when creating the gamma curve.
User gamma curves are initialized with S-LOG at the
factory. (The characteristic data of S-LOG can be output in
files, using the CvpFileEditor.)
