The Best Sony Picture Profile | SLOG3 vs S-Cinetone

Today we are diving into Sony's special S-Cinetone profile to see if it's something that I personally would use on projects.

Had to jump on and comment real quick cause I’ve been in a rabbit hole of Sony color for the last 4 hours and your video just pulled me out of it. So clear and concise. Thank you bruv.

The Color Space Transform effect in Davinci Resolve's color tab makes it easy to grade S-Log3 without a LUT. I'm looking forward to shooting in that profile when my FX30 gets here.

[daniel_caron]

Really enjoying your chill but very practical videos. Keep up the good work.

[nickcagol]

For someone like me just landed in the videomaking game, the s-cinetone could be a game changer picture profile. But I’d love to see a full explanation of how you grade your footage. Ever thought about releasing a filmmaking online class?

[angienatoyn]

S-Cinetone with a mist filter I think would look quite nice ^_^

[schoeferfilm]

Good thoughts Thomas 👍🏻 I love both picture profils with my FX6 but the most time I use slog 3 👌 best cinematic greetings from germany

[halimrahman]

I agree that S-LOG3 can be really good when properly colour-graded.

But, from my recorded interviews which have no dynamic range to recover, or so to say, I find that HLG3 is much better and sharper. Using 90mm macro to get a closer look at objects or using 35mm to only show hand instructions on handling experiments have more clarity and again with better sharpness.

So, for the time being, I use S-LOG3 outdoors when the dynamic range is important or during events with different light dimmings. But for a well-lit interview or handling experiments, I'll choose HLG3.

Finally! Someone who is trying to help rather than just push people into S-Log3. As a new video maker I can see from your presentation that I need to be in S-Cinetone profile for my hobbyist needs with my a7IV. I have a question: I understand there are LUTs for different purposes, so I want to shoot in S-Cinetone, then apply a simple LUT in DaVinci Resolve that pops it toward cinematic styling. EG, MotionVFX and other providers offer LUT packages that I think don't require your footage to be shot in Log. So, you don't have to be in Log to use these more generic LUTs, is that correct? You can apply LUTs in post to S-Cinetone for more style? Thanks for sharing this very helpful video.

Such a good video Thomas! Love this. Do you have a video on how to expose right on slog3?

[mlanusu]

Great video. In Davinci, what should I configure when applying CST (or color management) for s-cinetone?

[orion-viikhmernight]

Great tip I’m new to Sony camera just bought the FX30. New friend here

[mrshvecov]

все по делу, спасибо ) thanx, now all is clear!

[longross]

I have an a7s3 and my main complaint about slog3 is how impractical the iso range is. If I want anything above 640, I need to jump to 12800, which causes a significant colour shift and makes skin tones look unnatural. It’s fine for event shooting, but not for commercial work. I’m curious if cinetone is better for those situations where you need iso 2000-6400? If not, canon cameras seem to be more practical for most shooting situations. No one seems to be talking about this.

Bro what’s up with the rip Ernesto
Scared me for a sec 😭

[Filmmakers_N]

Good day, please tell me the zebra function, you use on which value in s-Cinetone ?

[victorrebatta]

Thomas great video. Any slog3 you recommend ? Thank you

[arthurrodrigues]

nice review. i was asking me what is the really fuction of this cinetone,
because the FX30 has and the A7IV no.
and, i'm deciding which one it's the best.

[RoxyandChris]

Would you say its mandatory to have an ND filter when shooting s-log 3? Im just now getting into cameras and this has been the clearest vid on picture profiles

[UpxAllxNightt]

how are you getting such good shots with literally no noise?! what's pissing me off is that I shot in the same exact place as you which was bolsa chica/Huntington Beach and a lot of my footage either has noise, or isn't as sharp, vivid, and clean as yours. I am desperate for help please.

[antonisdavis]

very comprehensive video!!can i match the 2 profiles?also in slog 3 which is the exposure value?+1, +1.7 or stay with the waveform to be in the middle?
