I’m going to answer that plus show you how they’re represented, their relationship to bit rate and try and sum up what it all means in layman’s terms and give you some recommendations too.

Awesome video, very educational. What color space did you use when you had the a7iii?... Happy new year!

do you need to setup white balance with using gamut?

[ReedChenMalta]

Use a larger color space as much as possible, then use color space conversion in post-editing to the color space you want.

If you a Sony shooter with 8 bit camera, try to use S-Log2 and SGamut3.cine and make a lut for this profile with LutCalc. I prefer output gamma as LC709A and gamut Rec.709. Also you may customise your black and white points and get different exposure compensation.

Hello hurv 👋 I just want to know what gamut should I select on my camera monitor ' bt2020/dcip3/rec709 or cinema' specially for videography. Thanks 🙂

Would it be kind of sort of fair to say that Gamut is like contrast but for colour!?

My favorite gamut is the one in my shitty Canon SL2. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
