Guys question regarding fs7 and a6500, we mostly bake in the lc-709A on the fs7, any advice on the color settings for the a6500 to get it to match the fs7 as close as possible? thank you!
Slog in not an option for this project, thank you.
 
So I don't have easy access to either camera anymore but what about turning cine EI off on the FS7 and throwing them into a cinegamma which some slight adjustments?
 
I found this online, maybe this forum and it works for A6500/FS7:

"matching A6500 TO FS7:

Cinegamma Tip: If you are mixing Sony cameras on set, some using hypergammas (F5, FS7) and some cinegammas (FS5, FS700) then note:
* Cinegamma 1 is the same as Hypergamma 4.
* Cinegamma 2 is the same as Hypergamma 2.
I couldn't find other Cinegammas which have Hypergamma equivalents.
So, if I'm cutting between an F55 and an FS5, I set the F55 to HG4 and the FS5 to Cine1."
 
I use a FS7 with an A7SII and an A6500. I shoot S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine on the FS7 and S-Log2/S-Gamut3.Cine on the A7SII and A6500. I made a quick LUT in LUTCalc that converts the S-Log2/S-Gamut3.Cine from the Alpha cameras to S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine to exactly match the FS7. Super easy to apply in post as it literally takes like two button clicks to apply. From there, you can have an adjustment layer over your whole timeline with LC-709A applied to have the identical look with all cameras. I do this a lot and get perfect matching results.
 
Hi guys,

I know you weren't talking about this, but after all these years being a member of this site, I finally decided to post something new and I've forgotten how to start a thread, and don't see any handy menus to do so.

I just spent two hours trying to find any info on the "Native ISO" of an a6500. All I can find on the web is it's from 100-25600, but for Video, 800-25600. But how can a variable ISO be "native"? If it's variable, then some kind of gain or amplification must be being used, or else you're introducing noise in the chain of video. This is my thinking, anyway. I think it should be just one number, like for instance on the FS7 which is 2000. I am looking for this information so I can shoot in S-Log 3 and get the best dynamic range (S-Log 3 is supposed to be 14 stops, but realistically 12 would be just fine)

So here's my question: WHAT IS THE NATIVE ISO OF THE a6500?
 
Thanks, and where can I verify that? (aside from shooting test footage) I've read somewhere else that it's 3200 (or was that a different camera), and all the Sony blurbs say native is 100-25,600 but in video mode you only get 800-25,600.

Thanks for your quick reply, by the way.
 
With the Sony mirrorless cameras, the native/base ISO when shooting S-Log2/3 has always been the lowest number you're able to use (at least that's what's been recommended by many).

But I doubt you'll see a major difference between 800 and 1600 if you need to use the latter.

Google "Native ISO 800 A6500" or another combination of words and you should find more information.

3200 was on the original a7S (if I remember correctly).

You can use an ISO below 800 in video mode on the A6500, but in other picture profiles (not LOG).

Thank you. Will test that out.

It's 800 for the A6500/6300, 1600 for the A7SII and 3200 for the A7S. NorBro is right that the lowest ISO available in its Slog profiles is its native ISO.
