I prefer HLG3 over SLog3 on my A7SIII as well. Underexposed footage can be easily compensated. HLG3 seems to have better shadows vs SLog3 better highlights.
I agree! I kinda liked s-log2 with the sgamut.cine for the skintones but hlg3 just „pops“ 😂 the matrix color mode with s-log2 is a bit too magenta for my liking but also very easy to grade. i might test some other picture profiles on the future.
I tend to like HLG as well, even though S-LOG3 has more flexibility when editing. Besides, S-LOG3 has a minimum ISO of 800 on my A7R3 and an ISO of 1000 on my Sony ZV-1. Even after editing and applying an appropriate LUT, the video still looks washed off. Perhaps, I just don't have enough skill in editing, HENCE, I choose to stay with HLG-3. But, looking around for my FX30, which one is better?
@@halimrahmanwith my RX100 VII, I feel HLG-2 to be very good option. It’s a bit less aggressive than HLG-3. For grading, I never use any LUTs for color space conversion. Instead, I use a color managed workflow to (semi-)automatically transfer from camera color space into timeline color space. Those transfer functions built into Davinci Resolve are way more accurate than any LUT can ever be.
Just shoot in s-log3 sgamut3cine with +32 saturation and then drop the saturation in davinci first node from 50 to 25. And voila you get good slog3 quality.
with the ZV-E10? I noticed that even with slog 2 and sgamut3cine it's starting to slightly fall apart. not noticeable but I could see it in the spectrum. also, why boost the saturation first and then tone it down again in post?
Hi David, thanks for making this video. I wonder which picture profile you think has the best performance in low light situations. Normally I shoot with pp10 HLG3, but sometimes I found obvious color banding at the sky area. I'd love to know what's your take on this. Thanks in advance!
i must say, the HGL3 BT2020 wins all the way in comparison to the Matrix mode. Simply because you can see the separatioin of the colors in the background clearly. HOWEVER the Slog 2 wins generally :) at the very end id like to thank you for the Video man, i enjoy watching your stuff a lot.. hope you make a little short 5 or 10 or 15 min Vid about your color grading in DaVinci :)), would love to learn from some more from you on the topic.
i hope to get back to RUclips soon man! i’m currently renovating and as soon as i have the office space ready, will be back posting videos :) thank you for your kind words!
They both look great. But with my setup, (no monitor) hlg3 is easier to expose imo using the exposure meter like you said ~.3 over and zebras to 75+ hlg3 seems easier for me to see what I'm filming on the dinky zve10 screen
I just watched a video today comparing those two cameras, and they had a perfect summary. a6400 is for shooting video/photos of others (videographer), and the ZV-E10 is for shooting videos of yourself (vlogger). So, depending on your use case, that should help guide you.
Thats weird... When i tried the picture profiles that you recommend the image of the zv-e10 becomes very grayish, faded, lack of colors. But in your example the image barely changes.
yea that’s normal. when shooting in a picture profile, you’ll have to grade the footage later on, meaning convert it into the right color space & make your color adjustments.
Most people do not understand Logarithmic Gamma Curves and WideGamut Color Spaces... SLog2 beats HLG anytime. You just need to stop using LUTs and use COLOR SPACE TRANSFORMS.
People will spend weeks testing settings, but won't take 5 minutes to read the official Sony e10 user manual: "This camera's S-Gamut setting does not support the whole S-Gamut color space; it is a setting to achieve a color reproduction equivalent to S-Gamut". Same goes for HLG, pray as much as you want rec2020 does not exist in 8bit, you are also getting a color reproduction. If you want to shoot log, don't but an e10 vlogging camera.
Word of advice for your future videos: gotta stop with the jump cuts :/ it's lazy filmmaking/video editing and the only people who should be doing it are vloggers since they are long session takes.
that’s not gonna happen in the near future unfortunately. i’m not a native english speaker and struggle with getting more than 2 sentences together in one take. while i’m getting better with this, i still have a long way to go. this isn’t a stylistic choice, it’s just that i can’t do it better 🤷♂️ i’m trying to improve on it though.
The more I get to work with HGL3, the more I get to love it. This confirms it for me.

As I was expecting... HLG had deeper blues and darker blacks which I personally like, based on what you're doing with each of these. HLG wins IMO!

@@davidvongries it fixes the lack of color information in 8bit footage
Is this really how it works?
@@musicianscontent157 for 8 bit yes
@@Ihavegumgum Yah I can confirm that for the ZV-E10 this works amazing, exactly how you said! shoot in s-log3 and boost saturation
I think I like slog a bit more based on your video - a bit less saturated but colours seems a bit creammy/more natural
Slog shooting is for professional post production. For Creatives it’s overkill
HLG 🔥🙂

Which profile do you think works best for dark scenes and which one for daytime scenes?
I have 6400. Thanks!

absolutely! HLG is just much easier to work with. SLOG isn’t worth it for me, especially because i tend to like the colors in HLG better
Wie bekommst du die Farben so schön hin, ich hätte gerne diesen Style für die Instagram Reels? Nutz die Sony ZV E10
Sony A6400 vs Sony ZV-E10. Which one is the best for video and photography? Thanks🙏

Both have the same sensor and functions... A6400 have viewfinder but zv-e10 doesnt have one... For photography both are good..
ZV-E10 for video
Is that the best PP for sports videos with the zve-10
Hi David! How do you colorgrade your foiotage? Did you use Leemen Lut ou which one do you use? Thanks man
for me hlg seems the better choice, it would be interesting in outdoor conditions with natural more complicated light to seee a comparison
Can you share your LUT?
why not post in BT2020 HDR?
why nobody its saying that the HLG has to get color correct rec 2020 that is HDR content ONLY
It's converted in Davinci resovle to rec709

Wann kommt die Portrait mode app raus?
Die Android-Version befindet sich gerade im (geschlossenen) Beta-Test. Wir haben Ende des Jahres für das offizielle Release angepeilt! :)
@@davidvongries nice, kommt dazu ein Video?🤔

which is exactly what i did.
As you can see on the wall behind you the picture with slog 2 setting is worse.

yet we still have the option in the camera and are making the best of it :)
@@davidvongries brother hlg rec 2020 its a 10 bit color space for HDR content
s-log 2 is normally iso 800
It's 500 on the ZV-E10.
500 at a7C

@@davidvongries do not follow sam's advice. Just do your thing David.
If you shoot with a b-camera it looks a little bit more smooth though! Although this is quite an investment of course
For an info/tutorial video like this, I prefer short and sweet so cutting out all the junk is great for me for videos like this. But that's just me.
