Log Gamma & Dynamic Range
“A flat camera recording profile that preserves maximum highlight and shadow detail for post-production color grading.”
Plain-English Overview
Log gamma (like Sony S-Log3 or Blackmagic Film Log) captures a flat, desaturated image that preserves bright highlights and dark shadows, allowing full creative control during color grading.
