GH4 Leaving V-LOG L

[visceralpsyche]

This looks much better. The first one has more noise and the skintones something like color had been reduced and used one added hue for skintone.

Why iso400 and ss 1/800s in sunshine? I use always iso200 if possible.

The other shot was graded for effect, if it wasn't clear. It was not directly out of camera, or only with LUT applied.

For the reference shot, I used ISO 400 because that's where I found the camera's maximum dynamic range, and 1/800th because I wanted to avoid the use of ND filters whilst calibrating for colour, since they might introduce unwanted shifts.

HTH!

Cheers,

Interesting. I have thought that iso200 has better dyn range. It has less noise so I can use idynamic if needed.

Went out and shot a REVENANT spoof over the weekend... specifically to have fun with vlog in very bright snow conditions. Right before heading out, and shot vlog out my front door, then test color graded it (8 bit internal). it was a TRAIN WRRECK! And I didn't blow it out either. Just the variations in the white snow turn funky color and banded REAL FAST. So I tried NATURAL, and it just worked great. VLOG doesn't have any BETTER DR that I have found, just "different" and worse. It's about as good as BAD settings on this camera. $100 wasted.
