GH5 100 ASA or 400 ASA in sunny days - video?

In your opinion is it possible to get better results shooting "Hybrid Log Gamma" profile and to apply that LUT in post or shooting "Natural" and adjusting a bit colors in post?
Where can I find that Leeming LUT from Paul? Maybe is this: http://www.leeminglutone.com/
Did you used it? Do you have experience wiith it?
If I'd like to use Leeming LUT from Paul, will I get better result with Cine D or V-LogL or Hybrid Log Gamma?

Yes, that is it. I use it and it is the best way to shoot with the GH5 - IF you are comfortable with the process.

With all of your questions here Adriano, that is all I can add to this complex topic. LOG shooting is pretty high level stuff and requires you to do a lot of research to learn about it. Best of luck with your research.
 
I don't notice any different results shooting "Hybrid Log Gamma" profile and to apply that LUT in post or shooting "Natural" and adjusting a bit colors in post. I made those tests in countryside. But today I will make other tests.
 
The GH5/GH5S monitor cannot display the entire dynamic range of the HLG signal, and it says so in the manual. As a matter of fact, if you don't have an HDR monitor, you won't be able to even see all the highlight detail that HLG even captures.

Others have been very kind to try to point you in the right direction, but to be honest, I think you are operating at a level higher than your base skills. Some of your questions lead many to believe you don't have a great understanding of some exposure basics. This is not to say that you can't come here and ask questions, because Lord knows the pro's here have helped me tremendously! But it's like trying to teach calculus to someone who just learned how to add.

I will try and find some reading material for you on exposure for video and color grading. These are books you'll have to buy, and I recommend getting the Amazon Kindle versions as they are cheaper and you can refer to them easily in the field on a smartphone or tablet.

With that I will conclude with this: There is no recipe for the perfect image. Every shoot is different, oftentimes many shots on the same shoot are different! Having a thorough knowledge of exposure through experience, will give you the answers that you are looking for. I believe for many of the things that you are shooting, you may find the dynamic range of the camera isn't sufficient to capture the scene as your eyes see it. With that, you can do one of four things, in order of ease and expense:

1. Decide what part of the image to expose for: You may expose for the shadows and blow the highlights, or crush the shadows and keep the highlights, it's up to you based on what is the most important part of the scene.
2. Shoot RAW video: This will let you recover a lot of detail that may be clipped when recording in compressed formats. But this is no magic bullet, because even with RAW, you can exceed the sensor dynamic range. You'll do better, but you still have to be careful. Cheapest alternative is something from Black Magic Designs, like the URSA Mini.
3. Almost tied with the item above, Use a camera with more dynamic range: Go rent a RED and see if the 16+ stops of dynamic range it has will help you, and if it does, is it worth the expense.
4. Lower the scene's dynamic range: This may be near impossible with some of the images you want to capture, but the way the big boys do it is bring in some big HMI lights and fight the sun. This may be done in cooperation with flying huge kites to reduce the amount of light landing on the scene.

Please understand what I'm about to say: I really don't think there is anything else you can do other than what I have listed above. I, of course defer to the pros to correct me if I am wrong, as I'm an enthusiast that occasionally makes some money from my hobby, but this is not my main source of income.

I'll post back when I find some good reading material for you.
