How to EXPOSE Canon EOS R5 & R6 CLOG 3 - Get it right EVERY TIME!

HOW TO EXPOSE CANON EOS R5 CLOG 3 - Get it right every time

Hey there,
To I spent some time deep diving into the Canon EOS R5 firmware v1.3.1 and the additional of Canon Log 3 (CLOG3). And even though this video was released only days before the firmware version v1.3.1 fixing the view assist, the methods for exposing Canon LOG 3 in this video are still important to understand.

This plus the increased RAW recording capabilities turns the R5 into a powerhouse. The camera now has even more dynamic range. Its quite incredible considering how far these small form factor cameras have come.

This video will discuss how I expose CLOG 3, where to set your neutral grey point and the in camera tools you have to make sure you nail your exposure and get your contrast ratios where you want them.

This video examples of shooting with CLOG 3 in 4k IPB and 1080 compressed video file formats. I also test the 120P / 100P 5 x slowmotion capabilities of the camera with C-LOG 3, C-LOG and no C-LOG.

The main aim of this video was to test the dynamic range of the camera and see how the exposure pivot point changes when using CLOG 3 and CLOG in RAW and compressed H2.65 video formats.

The addition of Canon Cinema RAW Lite and compressed IPB formats has just saved me hundreds of gigs per year. It was unexpected that Canon would introduce compressed RAW recording capabilities to the R5. But they did and I cant see anyone complaining in the future.

In this view video I detail how long each you can expect to record with each compressed and uncompressed video type.

Hope you enjoy.
It seems like we have been waiting for this firmware version for ages. But it is finally here. Version 1.3. And it brings with it some incredible features further empower your cinematography and photography.

Canon also released firmware updates for the R6 & EOS-1D X Mark III. These have all come as a direct result of customer feedback.

So this is what we will be addressing today. CANON EOS R5 MASSIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE!!!! VERSION 1.3

The EOS R5 receives a number of upgrades including Full HD 120p and support for greater customization of the camera. Another new addition is the ability to capture lower bit rate RAW movies to reduce the size of the RAW video files which makes file transfer faster. The update also adds Canon Log 3 which is goodo see. Canon have also now given you the ability to record lower bit rate IPB movies.

Users will now be able to save personalized and preferred camera settings to a memory card, which can be copied across to a different camera or used when settings are adjusted. There is also the option to turn the LCD monitor off during shooting and use it for playback only. The EOS R5 also gets full-time manual support for RF lenses, allowing photographers to override the focus of RF lenses manually when in Servo AF mode.

You can also now share photos with the new Protect Image Transfer function that allows protected images to be locked – preventing them from accidentally being deleted – and transferred via FTP.

Ok, 1 minute into this and how does this not have more view. This is great.

[ElBoyoElectronico]

Watching this as the R6 finally also got Clog 3, now I have to learn how to use false colors with my external recorder. :)

[ScreenFiends]

Thank you, I've been thinking of doing a video on this over on my other YouTube page. I've been trying to explain to some fellow creratives the pro's and cons of shooting LOG and why they need to learn how to shoot it correctly!

[icic]

Fantastically helpful video. Using a ninja V with false colour what colour should the 18% grey card appear at ?

[JaredTNewall]

I've never subscribed to a YouTuber off the 1st video I've watched, but this was an obvious sub. I love your stop-motion stuff, and the content was spot on. Cheers mate!

[wpse]

Great and simple presentation. 35%-40% in cLog3 for the gray card, but what should it be in "normal" profile, not cLog3 (if I need good exposure, but will not grade afterwards for some reason)?

[Martin_Poole]

Brilliant explanation... Is there a reason why we are told to use 800 iso in c log? Thanks in advance

[wooster]

Fantastically helpful for me. Thank you. Could you please confirm for me that if I use a Ninja V (the basic one, not the plus version ) with my R5 I will have access to false colour method of exposure? Thank you so much again.

[HuFilms]

Fantastic video mate. Great production. I’ve been shooting in 8k raw but using the cine setting and not clog3. I thought raw was raw and it wouldn’t matter. I shot stuff last night in raw and found that shadows to be terribly noisy, with flickering even.

[samshep]

This video was perfect but I just wanted it to go 1 or 2 steps further. Maybe some examples using false colour with Clog3. How to get super accurate colours using the colour Checker classic? If using an external recorder, what does full to full or full to linear mean? What lut should I use to accurately monitor exposure? Legalise or not legalised? There is so much stuff to learn. I can't find a video explaining any of this. Thank you

[mordavian]

Great video. You set zebra level to 40%. I have a Whibal G7 grey card and i don't know the exact value of this card. What is the specific name of this feature?

[ScottSullivanTV]

You earned yourself a subscriber! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! I also see you have some videos on the BM 6K Pro. Perfect! The two cameras I own.

[strugs]

Thanks for this!
I'm looking to work with CLog3 on an XF705 soon. I loved how you've explained some tips and tricks for exposing the footage in preparation for colour grading later.

Cheers, and subscribing!

[dadstalktech]

Thanks for the information! Super helpful! You been using the IPB Light with Log and the Compressed RAW? How is Resolve handing those for you if so?

Cheers!

[jessegarrison]

For weddings I don't have the option to use a external monitor or grey card. Would you still set your Zebras to 40% for CLOG3 with View Assist on? Like on the Sony FX3 we go off the histogram, as to not blow out the highlights and don't really need to over expose. Is this the same for the R5 and R6 and possibly the R3?

[salvamando]

Great tips and I really like the way you explain things. It looks like the 1.3.1 upgrade fixed the view assist for clog3, which is great. Rookie question for you or other clog nerds here (term of endearment): When filming in clog3, I understand that 800 "should" be the base ISO. Is the goal to keep it at 800 as much as possible (at least at 800) or is it ok to sometimes go higher in a pinch?

[michaelzoradi]

Great video! Curious how CLOG 3 compares to shooting in the R5's HDR-PQ mode...? When (if ever) would you prefer shooting in the 10-bit HDR-PQ mode over CLOG 3 (only for quick turn-around in post)? Have looked online for a breakdown of the pros and cons of CLOG 3 vs HDR-PQ but info is hard to find.

[bkkcedric]

Thanks a lot for this video! I recently got an R5 and have been shooting quite a bit at night in RAW, and the results have been fantastic. However when shooting in very similar light at night (street scenes mainly) in 4K with Clog 3 I have noticed way more noise than with the older Clog on identical scenes with exactly the same exposure. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks!

[markbullimorephotography]

So where do you place your highlight clipping point when using zebras is 100% too much or should it be brought down a little?

[QuintinMills]

Great video, thank you.
Where can we get Canon's LUTS to covert to REC 709 - do you have a link we can follow to download them?
Thanks again.
