If you don't know what knee slope and knee point means just use leeming luts. It's just one click. What is this never-ending Sony color science nonsense? Go grap your blur master Canon or the focus hunter panasonic so you don't have to destroy your liver to have a "jaundice face color science". 🤣🤣
Videographers are like reindeer, milling about looking for a sleigh to pull. Doesn't mean if 10 of them asked me for help I wouldn't help them. Merry Xmas!
This video perfectly sums up what's wrong with many photographers and videographers today under 40. They spend FAR more time obsessing over post process and color grading rather than mastering their craft, the actual photography and videography part. Thats why there is so much sh*t work out these days. Get back to the basics.
It's bad. Just look at the area surrounding the eyes, it's uneven with the rest of face flushing red. I don't judge it to be generally bad but in this video, it's just bad because it cannot make it as pleasing as the slog3 to clog2
Dude, i feel you on this. I switched from Canon C70 to Sony FX3 for how compact/light the systen is and the punch it packs. Im currently in a mind game thinking i should sale it all and get a C80 for the colors but the size and bulkiness stops me if i want to get into Vlogs/RUclips. Sony does everything i need it to do but i have never been in love with the sharp/colors image.
That Canon LUT on Sony slog3 looks good for this lighting set up of yours. The colors of the lights around you affects the overall interpretation of your skintone. Sony looks great outside with sunlight. With artificial lights it is tricky. Try this hack. Use Standard but set all values to 0, except highlights, drop it all the way to -9. Prepare for straight out of camera magic.
The Sony standard profile looks both warm and green, which is the worst possible combo. Could you have just used the DaVinci color picker on your white shirt to get decent color balance? I usually pick my grey hair, and it works pretty well.
That slog3 to clog3 is actually quite good. All other non alien colors make you like a niacin junkie addict, all flushing red except the eyes. Reverse red panda
🎄🎁Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Kasey ! Wish you good health, lots of happiness and all the best as well as a Happy New 2025 Year full of exciting cameras !
I have heard people having good results with Phantom LUTs Kacey says he doesn't have good results with them but that's just one experience, he may also be doing something wrong idk Or maybe Phantom LUTs really aren't all that good. Hard to know for sure
I have used the same approach as you, Kasey, I let others do the heavy lifting and just took away the parts I needed to get something that doesn't completely suck. As an example with Sony: Open three serial colour nodes. Drop a colour space transform in the first node. Set it to Sony S-Gamut 3, Sony S-Log 3, DaVinci Wide Gamut and DaVinci Intermediate. Drop a colour space transform in the third node. Set it to DaVinci Wide Gamut, DaVinci Intermediate, Rec 709 and Rec 709. Now the magic starts in node two. Create several parallel nodes under node two. Leave the top node empty, you may need it later. In the second node from the top do a curves adjustment, making the darks and brights look sort of OK. Now go to the colour wheels section and use the next couple of nodes to adjust shadows and highlights, if needed. Follow this with contrast and mid-detail adjustments. Next, the HDR wheels to fine tune the exposure if required. From here you can think about going to the scopes section and adusting blur and sharpness. Sometime around now, go up to the top node that you were saving and adjust the colour temperature in the colour wheels section, if required. This will help you look like a real boy, and not Geppetto's corporate puppet.
The perfect camera should be able to do photo and video well. Sony ZV-E1? Why not Sony A7CII? Looks like a better hybrid on paper, what do you think of that model’s colour science?
There is no such thing as a perfect camera that does everything, you need to look for perfection in one specialty. Because even if you could have everything in one camera, you'll end up losing in weight, portability, cost, etc... there is always a balance of pros and cons, you can't have only pros and no cons. A7CII is probably way inferior to ZV-E1 for the video part
Bro can you start including cinema cameras in your comparisons? I see you reviewed the Canon C70/C80, was wondering if you can compare them to Pyxis/Cinema 6k. You’re one of the only ones that actually show a good comparison that help us decide what’s what💪🏽 As far as this video, Sony is digital and lacks a more cinematic feel. The c70 softness really looks like a finished film and FujiFilms is closer to Canon in my opinion.
You’ve been making amazing content for a long time. It blows my mind that you never learned to color grade :(. Slog3 is amazing - got my first Sony (fx3) this year - from lumix/ canon
Whether photography or video, you have to calibrate your monitor in your preferred color space depending on what output you need. Don’t know if you have a wide color gamut monitor or just sRGB but I prefer a wide gamut monitor and then you can calibrate for different color gamuts such as sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, or maybe as much of the REC 2020 as you can get. But regardless, you have to know your monitor is displaying accurate color so that it is not imparting its own color shifts to your photos or video source that you’re editing.
That Davinci timeline Setting BS got me frustrated so many times. Resolution is unchangeable once, you have clips on that timeline. To fix that, you create a new timeline, set it up how it is supposed to be, mark all the clips from the other timeline, copy and then you can paste it all to the new timeline. Saved my projects lots of times.
I just shot some photos on the A1 with PP8 - Slog3 and the photos were spot on. Learn your camera. Sony color set up and choices with color do seem odd but I barely know how to use the A1.
The Cinetone LUT I thought looked good. What looked better is that falloff from that Sirui 85mm 1.4. I usually avoid 3rd lenses, but that thing may end up mated to my Nikon... 🤔
This the biggest reason I can’t go back to Sony…I started using an Olympus for macro, but now I use it way more than my Sony…it’s all about the colors!
Shot Slog3 . What is the Fuji doing with the pink skin? Canon is magenta. Everything is adjustable. Also, no camera does red light very well unless it's a RED or Arri.
I shot Sony for a year, used several A7R and A7C bodies, and several different lenses. I don't care if the camera is off in color, but Sony's isn't always correctable. It is more than a white balance issue. The A7IV and A9-II I used had worse than the A7C/A7CII, and from what I have seen from the A7RV. For whatever reasons, HEIF seemed better than RAW or JPG. My observations have been with an unpleasing orange/sepia sort of tint to images. Especially with skin tones, sunsets, and higher ISO's. With Nikon in LRClassic (Shooting RAW with the FLAT picture control,) I just tint +10 (fixes a slightly green cast) and reduce red luminosity by -10 (which brings back details in reds) and you're good to go. I was VERY happy to go back to Nikon for the Z6III and Z50II.
Since last week, I’ve been following your channel and enjoying your content. I mainly do photography, but as a classical pianist, I also record concerts for my work. Recently, I came across a Sony ZV-E10 for €500, including the kit lens. Would this be a good choice for concert recordings, or am I better off sticking with my Sony A7RII setup (with XLR K2M and two DPA microphones)? For context, I use Zeiss lenses (Batis 18mm and 135mm, and the 55mm f/1.8). I’m looking for a balance between good image quality, solid audio, and ease of use. Alternatively, do you think recording audio separately with a dedicated interface and syncing it later makes more sense-whether I use the A7RII or the ZV-E10? Love your channel!
I'm seriously debating Sony for size and stabiliser. But the colours on everything else are just better! And than I hate the Nikki for size, lefty wheel fine for me but the size! And Fuji always goes kaputt and MFT has tiny sensors. Damn, I want a perfect camera for Christmas. Prettyplease!
I got really sick Sony color science because I am grading it every day. But I found my biggest problem was the slog lut its self. I started just adding contrast and a little color boost and saturation straight to the raw footage, all in the color tab (not HDR) and I find the footage a million times better looking that way VS using any lut
I couldn't get myself to learn more about davinci resolve and always fell back to premiere, so I got the new micro colour panel and now I'm getting better. colour space is a must.
Red hair went to purple when you add blue! 🤣 Instead of adding blue, try REMOVING red from your shadows... always remove before adding the "fix," like in health, you can't heal by adding medicine WITHOUT removing the foods causing damage ... Don't try to color grade/correct in post UNTIL you have adjusted the IN-CAMERA settings first to get you into the ball-park. After that, color grading will be simpler, less drastic moves to make... Try tweaking out the IN-CAMERA capture settings, NOT just switching among default picture profiles, but make YOUR OWN CUSTOM picture profile!
I think the first thing you have to have when color grading is an accurate, calibrated monitor. To get that, I think it's really expensive. But I bet none of them have 3D pop. All I want is the perfect monitor...
the biggest problem is that camera manufacturers give out one lut to correct log to 709 but the sensors and the actual cameras have a different look. even fx6 and fx 3 look different even though. they need to make a camera specific lut that not only correct from log to r709 but also to a color matrik or chroma du monde or something to have a really reliable sony look you can work with easier... i do not struggle with grading that much i can color match pretty much any camera together but still i think it is bad for the camera manufacturers themself. If it is easier to get great color they will in turn have more good looking footage out there... and if beyerdynamic can give you individual measurements on a 100 dollar mic, why can't we have individually calibrated lut per camera model
I have a Sony ff and a Panny mft and I like the Panny better overall. Esp for vintage and old lenses etc anamorphics look great on them and they're well made for run n gun stuff, doc work, whatever
I've told myself color science is bs for years... And to some degree it is with strictly photography....BUT there are certain instances that really bug me with Sony. It's in skin tone gradation and shadows. Sometimes it's just not even worth it to try to fix it. Not sure how many times I just made a photo black and white because there is some sickening color in shadows that can't be fixed in under 30 minutes. Just need to sell a couple more lenses and Gfx here I come.
Out of camera I actually find the newer Sony models more “true to life” than Canon. Are the Canons more pleasing though? Absolutely. As you said it’s interpretation/art. I use Cinematch, so for me it doesn’t actually matter.
For stills, I find this to be true. Even for raw files. In capture one you can change the profile only Sony files to canon and it helps separates the skin tones from the rest of the yellows. For log tho you can convert it to any other log and there’s no issues really. Wish there was a standardized format like that for stills
I tried to shoot the Peacock colors. No CMOS sensor ( few mobile phones, Nikon DSLR, Canon point and shoot camera, Sony A7 3....all of them not able to reproduce exact peacock colour ( Teal colour). Can someone explain, what is going on? All need to be corrected in computer.
Qazi or however you spell his name gives pretty good layout and order of operations for Davinci Resolve in his last several videos. Pretty sure I know where you went wrong on the conversion to fuji. Likely the Color Space Transform node since one is rec709 and other is rec2020. Anyway, on the sony color science. I know some is software, but large part is on the sensor itself. To my understanding, the a7IV and a7RV are much better across the board in regards to color science, which is one reason I'm patiently waiting on FX3 mk2 to expand my gear.
When you raise and lower the colors in picture profile you are only changing the value/vibrance of that color, and all of it is relative to your white balance and color phase, and only filming compressed. None of it matters in raw. All raw needs to be color graded in post. Check out Veres Deni Alex's work to explain in camera sony colors.
I've always hated S-Cinetone. Way too magenta in the skin tones. Neutral color straight out is even better on Sony for skin tone. Why don't you still use Cinematch? You can save LUTs out of it. Convert S-log3 to RED color and save the LUT. That's what I do for professional work.
I really don't get why nobody cares about colour science: to me it's the most important IQ parameter. That's why I still use Olympus/OM. Yeah, I know you can tweak it in post, but I don't have time for that, and it never works perfectly.
Sony failed to acquire the Konica Minolta color science and sought to conceal it from the public, and the early recruited influencers followed suit to play dumb as well but they were unable to dupe Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. LOL
True, true, absolutely true. However... there exists a secret and ancient recipe on the internet, from a certain Cody, a saintly man, who in a now-lost video bestowed the magical power of Canon-like color grading upon the A7RIII and other A7III cameras. The real ones know that: Picture Profile: PP1 (although you can use any) Black Level: +2 Gamma: Cine4 Color Mode: Pro Black Gamma: Wide, +4 Black Level: +2 Knee: Manual, Point: 80%, Slope +2 Saturation: -5 Color Phase: 0 Color Depth: R: +3, G: +1, B: -1, C: -4, M: -4, Y: +3 Detail: When shooting 4K: -6, When shooting in slow-motion: 0
But beware, my friend, once you learn about this, once you experience it, you’ll never again feel the divine thrill of buying new gear, because you’ll have the best-or almost the best-of both worlds, and everything else will seem like a downgrade. And that’s a problem, because we all know how much we love buying gear!!!
Maybe something that might help you with colour grading is to change your background lighting - ditch the red lights as they could be tricking you. In filmmaking they generally go for contrasting colours to separate human faces from the background, hence the 'Teal & Orange' classic look.

It's bad. Just look at the area surrounding the eyes, it's uneven with the rest of face flushing red.
I don't judge it to be generally bad but in this video, it's just bad because it cannot make it as pleasing as the slog3 to clog2
5:40 For managing color in Resolve I recommend finding the video from Darren Mostyn explaining how he uses node trees.
Have a great Christmas Kasey. Cheers for all the laughs and info this past year.
Dude, i feel you on this. I switched from Canon C70 to Sony FX3 for how compact/light the systen is and the punch it packs. Im currently in a mind game thinking i should sale it all and get a C80 for the colors but the size and bulkiness stops me if i want to get into Vlogs/RUclips. Sony does everything i need it to do but i have never been in love with the sharp/colors image.

Finding balance with colours is like balancing facts with humour.. which you do perfectly!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone 🕊
The Sony standard profile looks both warm and green, which is the worst possible combo. Could you have just used the DaVinci color picker on your white shirt to get decent color balance? I usually pick my grey hair, and it works pretty well.
Happy Xmas sir, and the best color rendering and cinematic footage for 2025!!
That slog3 to clog3 is actually quite good. All other non alien colors make you like a niacin junkie addict, all flushing red except the eyes. Reverse red panda

i never comment but "if i can just make crayons exist" i felt that
🎄🎁Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Kasey !
Wish you good health, lots of happiness and all the best as well as a Happy New 2025 Year full of exciting cameras !
So, which is the best LUT/treatment to “fix” the ZVE-1?
I have heard people having good results with Phantom LUTs
Kacey says he doesn't have good results with them but that's just one experience, he may also be doing something wrong idk
Or maybe Phantom LUTs really aren't all that good. Hard to know for sure
The slog to clog looks pretty good
Your Davinci rant made me spit out my coffee 😂😂😂
Why does it look like the sony sensor is barfing all over the image? I feel the pain of the red shadows …
Mate.......I agree. But just go BlackMagic. Hard to knock that science my friend!
the Nikon footage - Is that the Canon 85mm toneh 1.2 adapted with the Fringher? Looks lovely. Delightful as usual. Merry Christmas!
I have used the same approach as you, Kasey, I let others do the heavy lifting and just took away the parts I needed to get something that doesn't completely suck.

I think standard looks great!
You’ve been making amazing content for a long time. It blows my mind that you never learned to color grade :(. Slog3 is amazing - got my first Sony (fx3) this year - from lumix/ canon
@13:42, That is the look. Perfect.

Merry Christmas Kasey. Colour science aside, your skin and face looks great on the Sony.

I think the first thing you have to have when color grading is an accurate, calibrated monitor. To get that, I think it's really expensive. But I bet none of them have 3D pop. All I want is the perfect monitor...
Honestly the official lut didn't look too bad in your example. but some really good free sony luts are the allister chapman luts.
Those red dots are in constant motion....👍👍👏👏
the biggest problem is that camera manufacturers give out one lut to correct log to 709 but the sensors and the actual cameras have a different look. even fx6 and fx 3 look different even though. they need to make a camera specific lut that not only correct from log to r709 but also to a color matrik or chroma du monde or something to have a really reliable sony look you can work with easier... i do not struggle with grading that much i can color match pretty much any camera together but still i think it is bad for the camera manufacturers themself.

I have a Sony ff and a Panny mft and I like the Panny better overall. Esp for vintage and old lenses etc anamorphics look great on them and they're well made for run n gun stuff, doc work, whatever
that truth lut is so OP
Ah! Man, you have gas lit me on what real footage should look like now... You had me @13:30
You tease us once, once only! with the Stellar Alien AIDS LUT and never seen again.
We need it for the They Live Remake!
When are you flying to New Mexico?!
I've told myself color science is bs for years... And to some degree it is with strictly photography....BUT there are certain instances that really bug me with Sony. It's in skin tone gradation and shadows. Sometimes it's just not even worth it to try to fix it. Not sure how many times I just made a photo black and white because there is some sickening color in shadows that can't be fixed in under 30 minutes. Just need to sell a couple more lenses and Gfx here I come.
Out of camera I actually find the newer Sony models more “true to life” than Canon. Are the Canons more pleasing though? Absolutely. As you said it’s interpretation/art. I use Cinematch, so for me it doesn’t actually matter.
Sony hasn’t figured out the tone separation and transition from Orange > Yellow > Green.
For stills, I find this to be true. Even for raw files. In capture one you can change the profile only Sony files to canon and it helps separates the skin tones from the rest of the yellows. For log tho you can convert it to any other log and there’s no issues really. Wish there was a standardized format like that for stills
I’m pretty sure using a Canon Lut on a Sony is illegal.
I tried to shoot the Peacock colors.
No CMOS sensor ( few mobile phones, Nikon DSLR, Canon point and shoot camera, Sony A7 3....all of them not able to reproduce exact peacock colour ( Teal colour).
Can someone explain, what is going on? All need to be corrected in computer.
Qazi or however you spell his name gives pretty good layout and order of operations for Davinci Resolve in his last several videos. Pretty sure I know where you went wrong on the conversion to fuji. Likely the Color Space Transform node since one is rec709 and other is rec2020. Anyway, on the sony color science. I know some is software, but large part is on the sensor itself. To my understanding, the a7IV and a7RV are much better across the board in regards to color science, which is one reason I'm patiently waiting on FX3 mk2 to expand my gear.
Your CPU cooler noises of death drive me crazy.
Canon is a yellow warm...Sony is a red warm. Psychology states yellow is more pleasing😂😂😂😂😂😂Merry Christmas to all🇺🇲🇨🇦
When you raise and lower the colors in picture profile you are only changing the value/vibrance of that color, and all of it is relative to your white balance and color phase, and only filming compressed. None of it matters in raw. All raw needs to be color graded in post. Check out Veres Deni Alex's work to explain in camera sony colors.
Kasey, just convert to B&W, problem solved!
Also: it’s better to have lobsters on your piano than crabs on your organ.
I've always hated S-Cinetone. Way too magenta in the skin tones. Neutral color straight out is even better on Sony for skin tone. Why don't you still use Cinematch? You can save LUTs out of it. Convert S-log3 to RED color and save the LUT. That's what I do for professional work.
My Christmas prayer this year is that you never ever learn how to pronounce “Sirui”. The wrong pronunciation has brought me so much joy. 😂
I really don't get why nobody cares about colour science: to me it's the most important IQ parameter. That's why I still use Olympus/OM. Yeah, I know you can tweak it in post, but I don't have time for that, and it never works perfectly.
I don't have that red skin problem but also just got the ZV-E1 only a month In the winter
Sony created Green lips
I like 12:12 the most. Gives me the Matrix vibes.
Sony failed to acquire the Konica Minolta color science and sought to conceal it from the public, and the early recruited influencers followed suit to play dumb as well but they were unable to dupe Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. LOL
True, true, absolutely true. However... there exists a secret and ancient recipe on the internet, from a certain Cody, a saintly man, who in a now-lost video bestowed the magical power of Canon-like color grading upon the A7RIII and other A7III cameras.
The real ones know that:
Picture Profile: PP1 (although you can use any)
Black Level: +2
Gamma: Cine4
Color Mode: Pro
Black Gamma: Wide, +4
Black Level: +2
Knee: Manual, Point: 80%, Slope +2
Saturation: -5
Color Phase: 0
Color Depth: R: +3, G: +1, B: -1, C: -4, M: -4, Y: +3
Detail: When shooting 4K: -6, When shooting in slow-motion: 0
But beware, my friend, once you learn about this, once you experience it, you’ll never again feel the divine thrill of buying new gear, because you’ll have the best-or almost the best-of both worlds, and everything else will seem like a downgrade.
And that’s a problem, because we all know how much we love buying gear!!!
Dude A7III has not the same color as ZVE1. But maybe should try it out
@@DjInfluencer I know. I'm just offering you the Canon colors on an A7III, and you're still not happy. Dude, humans will never be at peace. :)
@@Shamanorange Im happy thanks for your your effort 😁. Im even more happy if you can find the correct settings for an a7c2. Cheers

You havent seen good color science until youve seen the Panasonic Varicams

Maybe something that might help you with colour grading is to change your background lighting - ditch the red lights as they could be tricking you. In filmmaking they generally go for contrasting colours to separate human faces from the background, hence the 'Teal & Orange' classic look.
There is so much depth of field that you've got a ruined shot there.
