Does the recommendation not to shoot below ISO 640 (A7S3) apply to other profiles like cine 2? Thanks.

I have the a7IV, but new to video side of things. I want to shoot in S-Log 3, so should I leave my iso set all the time to 800 for vlogging or give it a range that is good for daylight and lowlight? I have a variable nd 2-5 stops, but not sure if I need a 6-9. I mainly shoot during the day outside or indoors not in a studio setting, so need to set it up for that 90% of the time. Also should I just shoot in A priority and not worry about the other settings?

Over the years I have seen many short films giving tips, hints, and instruction. Most have endless intros filled with waffling and information that the viewer should already know. Then the remainder is often convoluted and irrelevant. This is the first time I have seen one that goes straight to the point, maintains the relevance, and clearly explains why certain settings are the best starting point. Genuinely, one of the best videos I have ever seen on KZfaq! Thank you.

I watch a ton of videos on the Sony A7s* cameras but I find that yours are the most immediately useful to me. Without going into too too much technical detail, you get right to the point on what works for you and why. I find this approach often matches my real world use scenarios as well - even though I'm not a wedding filmmaker. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Matt!

I want to thank you for this excellent tutorial and for giving all of us your camera settings to copy them to our cameras. Pt 1 and Pt 2 of the A7SIII settings plus this How to Expose in SLOG3 video helped me achieve absolutely great results last week. Your settings are really practical and really work, and your tips are to the point. Unless other self-proclaimed gurus (e.g. Mark Galer) your tips actually made me shoot the video with the cinematic look I was looking. Other KZfaqrs DON'T give away all their tricks. They are selfish with their "secrets".

I shoot in slog3 on my Sony a7iii with no noise and perfectly exposed with no zebras. With one simple trick. Both slog2 and 3 are both meant to stay at iso 800 set shutter for “filmish look” and use aperture to let light in or to darken image.

So grateful for this. My new A7IV arrived a day before I headed to the beach for 4 days. Sadly, a lot of my footage was shot at ISOs that were too low. Shooting HLG3 on my A7III I was always able to get away with a 2-5 stop variable ND... looks like I'll be ordering something a bit stronger. Thanks Matt, keep up the great work!

This is so helpful, best and Most in depth A7SIII Slog Guide I ve seen. Two questions: How do you know how to expose skin tones in the right zone? So you ever use HLG3 instead of slog3 and if yes when?

@whoismatt 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I never use hlg3, pretty much always slog3. I find that if I expose the whole frame bright enough using multi metering (especially with prioritize faces turned in) I can easily adjust the brightness levels of skin tones so they look good. The trick is to basically never under expose because if you do that you’re in trouble with lots of noise haha
