F5: good Sony F5 HyperGamma settings?

[Sparky874]

Hi there. I currently shoot SLOG3 with Matrix set to OFF for the majority of my projects. I have to cover a sports tournament soon where I'll shoot a lot (I mean a lot!) of footage - and was just considering using a hypergamma setting instead to make life a little 'easier'. Can anyone out there recommend a picture profile setting they might favour using a hypergamma curve I could try - that still provides a nice flattish and unsaturated look? Thanks Sparky

This is the Hypergamma set up I almost always us when wanting a look similar to what your describing. Dont be scared of the +40 setting for the Matrix level, 0 is VERY unsaturated.

Gamma: HG 3 (If you need more DR try HG7) -Expose grey card at 40-45 or skin highlights at 60.
Master Black: -3
Detail: off
Matrix: Cinema (no paint adjustments)
Level: +40
User Matrix: On but onlyin order to set Level

Thanks for this. Have you ay clips you can share where you have used it?

Yes, I actually have a sample in the thread copied here. My editor told me all he did to it was increase the contrast a little. The spot is F5 and F3 mixed, the F5 material is the tight of the two focal lengths.
