What is everyone's Cinegamma/color mode of choice for shooting 4K, well lit (3 point) sit down interviews and why?

Thanks

Sony Fx9.

Slog3.cine .Cine EI mode.. no point to shoot Slog unless getting Cine EI color gamut

Or S Cinetone in custom mode .. because it looks incredibly better than any other Sony REC 709 setting ever in the history of Sony cameras..

Thanks, Donny. I was thinking more in terms of the FS5 and its 8 bit limitations. I think the FX9 will shine in just about any profile ;)
 
Cinegamma 1 with Pro color. Like almost all footage it is helped by a light grade but I think it looks very nice straight out of camera.

OK thanks. That's the one Alister Chapman recs for well lit situations. I use Cine4 for low light run n' gun...
 
Liking this lately:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxzgMkVjKo4

rundown:
BLACK LEVEL: -10
GAMMA: CINE2
COLOR: STILL
CPHASE: -1
CDEPTH: R +2, G +1, B -1, C 0, M +1, Y 0

while he made it to match a7iii to S-Cinetone, it works pretty darned well with FS5 also. Might even work better with some tweaking.
Still don't have a FX9 to match.

Previously, I've also used:
BLACK +5
GAMMA: Still
BGAMMA: MIDDLE, -7
KNEE: Manual, Point 100% Slope 0
COLOR: S-Gamut3.cine
SAT: +20
CPHASE: +2
COLOR DEPTH: R +4, G +4, B +4, C 0, M -4, Y -2
DETAIL -7

It looks good, especially in a tungsten setup, but highlights can fly out of control and sometimes colors get extra-funky in low light. You also have to deal with having no WB tunability due to the S-Gamut3.cine color.
