I really would love to see some footage shot indoors using slog 3. I always struggle shooting real estate trying to expose correctly inside without grain

Wow! I wish I can do like 1000 likes. You literally went straight to the point. Other videos have been helpful, but they give you so many options it's hard to choose what settings to use. This is great for anyone to start exploring and just play around. My hats off, need more videos like this.

Just a clarification. Sony actually does not want you to overexpose your image because doing that would not net you the maximum dynamic range of your cam, instead they want you to expose your middle grey to 41IRE so you will achieve the maximum 15 stops of Dynamic Range at ISO 640 for A7s3 (13 stops of useable Dynamic Range according to Gerald Undone's Test). To expose 41IRE, you need an 18% Grey card and expose it at 41IRE. If you have a monitor with false color, just look at the middle grey card and expose it at 41IRE, if you dont have monitor with false color then just use your Zebras and set it up so the Zebra patterns will appear at 41%. Gerald Undone has a video on this. The problem with exposing your middle grey at 41% is that if you have a human subject, most likely you will end up underexposing your image. If you underexpose, then on post you will lift up your exposure, thus also lifting up your shadows on which the noise lives (noise floor) and so resulting to noisier image. When cinematographers say to overexpose when shooting Slog3, its actually not overexposing your image in relation to your subject, but in relation to your middle grey. When shooting Slog3, just expose it according to what your subject is and what exposure your keylight should be. Though on scenes with more shadows, it would be safer to overexpose it a little but its not actually needed. Expose it so that on post you wont need to lift up your exposure so you wont raise up the noise floor on post. To understand better what I am talking about, it would be best to watch Gerald Undone's video demonstrating it.

I love Slog3, but didn’t know about the gamma display assist. Thanks for the tip!

[ekphotography]

So many opinions out there, thanks for the video, Since I shoot mostly people, I have been trying exposing the zebras just for skin tones lately. Usually around 45-50. I do not care if the background happens to get blown out as I want my subject/Person do be exposed properly. I also have been doing +1 to +1.7 max as I feel the just below +2.0 blinking is too much sometimes.

[pengyang]

Yessss finally! Been waiting for you to make a review on this.

[matty-media]

The gamma assist tip is a game changer thanks

Thank you so much for this in-depth video, Henbu. At 2:38, I saw you mention it is good to overexpose the image. The big question I have is how to make the video look less bright in post editing. A lot of professionals will do it in DaVinci by bringing the Offset wheel down a bit, but I don't think that is a good idea because it can crush the shadows.

I am genuinely curious because I shoot most of my videos slightly overexposed (+0.7) to retain detail in the shadows and mid-tones. I generally just bring the Gamma wheel down a bit and put the highlights to around -20 to make the image look less bright.

You read my mind!😂 up all night watching your videos and was hoping for slog 3 vid and BOOM here you are.

[josuerivera]

You are my inspiration I like to see all your Videos, you can make a video how to expose the skins🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[GeeksandFlix]

thank you so much with theses tips helped me out!

[MichalOlender]

Looks really good man and some helpful tips!

[theprince]

Long time follower here, I actually got my A7III cause I saw some of your videos back in the day hehe. I've been doing photography but getting back into filming. so HLG2 709 is the way to go these days? I remember shooting with slog3 but if you get low light its brutal.
Any good luts for A7III these days?

[moormediashots]

Thank you so much for the video!! This is fire! What lens did you use for the close up of the eye! That is so dope

[wakeywarrior]

I gave up and just shoot SCinetone, looks great every time with no messing about.

[nic.schroth]

amazing video! but how would you expose slog3 underwater? thanks in advance!!

[Laertesthebarber]

what iso level do you recommend to avoid noise in slog 3 on the a7iv?

[joan_costa]

Great do you plan to create a video with Sony A7 iv setup?

[tiadoreferns]

Do you think professional work is still possible to do with a camera like the Sony ZV-E10?
