I'm following Jason's camera setting recommendations for the zv-e10 but using ITU709 Matrix for the color mode instead of S-Gamut3.Cine for similar reasons why S-Log2 is used over S-Log3 for 8-bit cameras. Cullen Kelly recommends configuring a good color management space in DaVinci Resolve before grading anything as well. After some experimentation I found the best color management settings (found in file > project settings > color management) for Jason's zv-e10 setting recommendations to be Da Vinci YRGB Color Managed > Uncheck Automatic Color Managed > Color Processing Mode set to Custom > input color space set to S-Gamut/S-Log2 > timeline color space set to Da Vinci WG/Intermediate > and the output color space set to REC.709-A. Also, in Preferences > General, tick "Automatically tag REC.709 Scene clips as REC.709-A" and for Mac users tick "Use Mac display color profile for viewers." That sets you up for a good foundation across the widest display and software based on color science, and then you can fiddle around with the primaries or HDR wheels to make any necessary tweaks, but the end result of those color management settings gets very, very close to a finished grade across all your clips recorded with the zv-e10 in S-Log2 with just a few clicks. The Da Vinci Resolve website has great tutorials on how to color grade based on scopes and other best practices to go even further and you can really go down the color grading rabbit hole with Cullen Kelly's channel.

Hi, Jay. After a pause from video work, I am getting back into it and want to take next steps on color grading with my Sony footage. This video has motivated me to advance. I appreciate your clear, engaging, and open approach. You're a great teacher/tutor and I've watched many of your videos since entering the mirrorless world. Thanks for your knowledge and positivity!

I’ve been using the nisi ND filter. It’s one of the best filters I’ve ever used

Thank you so much for this informative yet simple video to understand how to expose and color grade the S-log 2. I've been struggling to find videos over the last few months to understand the process since most of the ones online are too complicated.

Thanks man, I'm not a videoagrapher at all bu for me who has somehow managed to do video... this helped BIG time

New to all this exposure and grading for video . As a photographer I use an incident light meter to place the correct tones during exposure. More expensive than grey card but more convenient when lighting is constantly changing. Great video
Thanks for sharing
