How to EASY expose S-LOG3 correctly - with Zebras!

This is a step by step tutorial and master class where I share how to correctly expose S-LOG3 on your Sony A7SIII, FX3 and other Sony cameras. I sometimes call it the S-Log 3 exposure super hack! To be able to use this s-log3 exposure hack you just need to know the tools your camera offers you.

It's actually super easy to expose S-LOG3 if you know what exposure tools to use, and how to use them. Sony a7siii slog3 is one of the most commonly used setups. But many are struggling with the exposure. I will use my Sony A7SIII for this S-log 3 exposure tutorial.
In this S-LOG 3 exposure video I will go through how to use the Exposure Meter, the Camera monitor, Gamma Assist, and Zebras.
When using the Zebras for nailing the exposure for S-LOG3, we use C1 and C2 settings.
Avoid future Slog3 overexposure and underexposure.

Perhaps the best explanation on this topic over YouTube. I've watched tonnes of videos on this topic already and none had this level of in depth explanation to perfect exposure for SLog3. You've just earned a loyal subscriber for life. Well done!👍🏼

[rickwilliams]

Pretty sure this video just saved my backside for a big client shoot on the golf course in 2 weeks! Thank you for explaining this so much more simplistically clear than the others!

[KILLEGOTV]

I have never seen a better Tutorial on Exposure. All questions answered. Thank you.

[RealMattCook]

This is the best explanation of using SLOG3 for exposure. I used it for a beach shoot where S-Cinetone would have not worked, and it was fantastic. Very easy to expose properly. Thank you.

[sudZAYNsu]

Ive been looking for this kind of explanation for very long time. Thank you.

[mrfairycake]

Brilliant. I would love to see an updated version soon :)

[AprilClayton]

Thank you for making this easy to understand. I overexposed SLog 3 because I thought I should overexpose by 2 stops. On Sony A7IV, my outdoor footage was mostly blown out.

[MattStidwillDesign]

This is the BEST video I've seen on the subject. So many other creators skip on really explaining each step. As a beginner learning how to use S-log for the first time, this is exactly the explanation I needed. Thank you!

[solucionado]

the best video I've seen in YT tks!

[routergods]

Amazing video. I've had a Sony A7iv for two years and never thought to use both C1 and C2 zebras.

[mingfx]

very nice explanation for mid gray and exposure concept. you are a wonderful teacher, Thanks a lot

[MUSICsukantaOfficial]

Great, No one talked like you before. Everything is now clear just because of you. Thank you ❤

[bryanngo]

had to watch this 3 times but this definitely helped.

[zefrynainggolan]

Thank you for the video, now I understand better why you have to have more than one setting in a video shoot, and how metering works in a video shoot, and how it can ruin the video in post-production. I'd love it if you'd share your experience again here.

[caelanwilliamson]

I definitely learned a lot from this video. Thank you

[SISIDBYCHARLIE]

Best explanation of 18% grey on youtube! Thanks liked subscribed.

[fbmrqs]

Fantastic video. Keep up the great work! On a side note, I smirked when you mentioned 56±3 IRE as being your C1 setting for the Zebra Pattern feature; I assumed you were using Phantom LUTs too—and you eventually confirmed it. lol
