Thank you for covering this info for photography and not just video settings like so many others!

[jacubgomez]

Ur killing it bro. U pass on so much advanced photo/ vid knowledge and I seriously learn something new in every video💪🏼💪🏼

[drafeirha]

i really love that this channel covers very niche topics. the info you provide can be found nowhere else

[geraldundone]

I wonder how many times I said: "It's exactly the same!" 😜😂

[CSupercar]

Thank you so much for this video. I was doing some tests with my A7iii, and I couldn't figure out why some photos looked different in RAW when playing with picture profiles. After some googling, I was convinced I was going crazy until I found your video. Thanks again!

I just did some testing on this. So it's interesting - I wouldn't say it "reduces noise" as much as you seem to gain about 2/3 of a stop of light if you shoot in HLG3 Gamma. So essentially your 51, 200 ISO goes a little bit further than it would in the stills gamma. I compared my results and the noise is the same at both ISOs when properly exposed, but you have to essentially compensate more in Still than in HLG3.

Awesome find!

Even though I don't have a Sony camera I still liked to watch this video just to make my brain hurt a little

[JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thanks gerald. Top notch work as per usual! One request for another video since you're smart and noone else seems to have reported this. How much quality difference is it shooting in 4k full frame mode than 4k in super35/crop mode on the a7iii. I cannot find a video or anyone saying their results other than "little to no difference" thank you in advanced and absolutely love your work

[HeathMcKinley]

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but what you showed is how I understand that Fujifilm uses their Dynamic Range 200%, 400%, Auto & DR Priority modes. Applying a tone curve to shadows & highlights at different ISO settings.

It’s good for people who shoot JPEG only, using the Cine Gamma for example opens up the shadows and can help avoid crushed blacks. But it comes at a cost to RAW image data being manipulated too.

Great to see it being shown so clearly!

Dude, awesome stuff. I was just explaining to someone the other day how it doesn't matter shooting raw. Guess I was wrong. That's the beauty and frustration of the craft all at once. There's always something new and exciting to learn, but that fact also means we're perpetually ignorant. Thanks for the great content!

[clickawaymedia]

Just came across your channel recently (due to it featuring in one of Jeven's Q&A videos) and I must say, you are the PERFECT balance of geeky and entertaining.
I love how you go into details about common misconceptions and explain it in a detailed but fun way!! Been catching up on some of your older videos...
but just wanted to say... GREAT WORK GERALD!!!

[dopamining]

Fascinating. This reminds me of a video I watched by another thorough youtuber who demonstrated that the picture profiles impact the behavior of the in-camera histogram, which indirectly affects the raw file because the shooter adjusts the aperture/shutter/iso settings to manage the change he/she sees on the histogram.

[stalman]

Maybe I missed it, did you mention if these are compressed or uncompressed raw?

[whatsupjj]

You just finished my own homework!
I was planning to check if my theory is right.
Literally, you just saved hours of work!
You rock! Always anticipating what your topic is gonna be! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[sportyjen]

so grateful for this channel! I was filming an event in slog3 and switched to stills and was so confused as to why the Lightroom preview was so different from the in camera photo. This was incredibly helpful.

[rbrtmllr]

Appreciate how you stick to the facts and avoid the assumptions. You got my subscription. Thank you.

[nomancave]

Now to determine which gamma is "best"...

[shelekhov]

Respect for taking an effort to test and investigate it. This is the only proper way for such cases instead of theories on forums.
Maybe it is kinda still shifting ISO value no matter the fixed value? I don't think there is "postprocessing" before recording the raw. Might be the ISO value is recorded wrong with the raw ignoring the shift?

[skymakai]

Just when I thought I you had explained it all... You clarify a super important topic!
Now I'm curious about shooting stills in HLG and what zebra setting to use.

[GavinDavidson]

Thanks dude. My go to channel for learning everything technical. Shot!
