This is such a great tip! I really struggle with using picture profiles and trying to color correct, which means ultimately, my footage looks wonky, and I end up not shooting video. I think the reality is, for the average person, the loss of dynamic range isn’t really that big of a deal.

[Poverello]

I’m a big fan of minimal post-processing, so your footage looks great to me. I’d rather focus on the creative aspects of photography than sitting in front of my computer.

[AdamDuffArt]

I consider using your gorgeous kids as test subjects as cheating - they make everything look good

[JonBear]

100 percent agree!! A lot of beginners get told by other youtubers to jump straight into LOG profiles and do color grading and it's not good advice. This is a solid tip worth doing both by beginners and pros.
I had a similar revelation and now shooting mainly Natural on my LUMIX GH5. This is after a long time of doing CineD (log like) and HLG picture profiles. Natural just looks so consistently good! Especially skin tones. I do it a little differently though, I put down the contrast instead of increasing it. It's really up to your tastes.

This is such a refreshing video. I spent some time all over the internet feeling like I wasn't going to be able to make something look good unless I really learned tons and tons of things about the color grading process, but at this point in my journey (with my a6100), I just want something that looks pretty good, and this helps a lot

[YourDriver]

I have to say, 2 weeks into using this (same settings) and I am loving it so far.

Great video. A lot of beginners like myself watch the log and hlg stuff and are captivated by the idea… then we realise that unless you have a fast lens and tons of studio light you are wasting your time. Definitely going to try these as I’ve been looking at Portrait anyway ❤

[hluckje]

Thank you so much man! This is the solution I’ve been hoping for! Getting tired of constantly trying to figure out the right way to use SLOG

[redfirebird]

Short and sweet, always to the point no b roll crap. Its why i love your videos

[MartinTran]

Straight to the point - brilliant upload Sid!

Nice post! Thank you! Nice video-shots too. Please keep in mind, that basic gammas give only 7-8 stops of dynamic range. Cine gammas have higher dynamic range about 11 to 11.5 stops and this will leave also for you more room for post-processing if you require it late for whatever reason. Cine gammas will require a bit more work to adjust but once you have done it, you have excellent footage out of the box, but have some room for grading too.

Alright this was amazing! I am always switching between HLG and Slog and now finally something I can use easily!

[ArifKhan.]

Love it! Quick and straight to the point. My A6600 thanks you buddy!

[classzedits]

I appreciate your video. my wife just recently bought me sony zv e10 as a gift (before that im only using my smartphones), and for editing i use premiere pro but i really don't understand the color correcting and graxing tools. this video showed me that i can just go ahead and shoot without worrying too much about color grading. Thank you.

[MichaelTapel]

I always used portrait for videos and photos and for the first time I wanted to try out the slog-3, now you came up with this video and you changed my mind back

[jostalking]

Sidney! Dude I have been looking all over the world for this video - I know Jason Vong said he uses no picture profile but this was the extra umph I was looking for Thank You.

[jeiger]

Thanks dude! I've always had trouble in post, getting my footage to look normal, using the in camera picture profiles. Not having to color correct every clip, will save me tons of time.

[TimandLauren]

sidney,

not gonna lie, i wasn't a believer at first but after testing out HLG, slog, cine on my a7iii to the no picture profile
dude...wtheck..
it looks so much better ???!

[PERIKLISTSINTZAS]

Excellent video, Straight to the point, And not boring.For shortfilms i would use slog, but for weddings or antything else usually i dont use picture profiles like you, except 2-3 times the cine 2 with increased saturation

[ZoeandDarren]

I literally love your new QuickTips videos. Wasn't subbed before, but cuz of this, SUBBED NOW. Hell yeah.
