How to Expose Canon Log on the EOS R5 and R6

Рет қаралды 131,599

Without waveforms or false color on the Canon EOS R5 and R6, achieving optimum exposure when shooting in C-Log and C-Log 3 can be challenging. In this video, I demonstrate how to use zebras to nail your exposure for both skin tone and general purpose video.

One minor tip for those with darker skin... When holding your hand in front of the camera to check it, make sure you use the BACK of your hand! Most of us with darker skin have much lighter palms, and you don't want to expose for that if your target is going to be your face. Otherwise, an excellent video!

This was super helpful for someone who is a little hesitant to shoot in LOG due to the trickiness of exposure. I'd love to hear more about your process for converting from Cinema Gamut to REC.709 in Premiere.

Todd, thank you so much for making such a clear instructional video on this topic. I took the dive into video about 2 years ago, having previously being a stills photographer. I found exposure and C-log to be such a confusing rabbit hole of mixed online information. I eventually figured things out through A LOT of trial, error, and research, but what you outlined here is fantastic. Top level content, as always.

So glad I came across this. Up until this point I've been simply going by the histogram in clog3 CG. Usually get exposure pretty close but this is soooo much more accurate. Assigning them to a quick button is so handy too. Thanks Todd!

This video has saved all my footage from the day I watched it the first time about 1,5 months ago. Tomorrow I have my first client shoot and just watched parts again to ensure I get it right. Thank you so much for the video Todd!

I am not a beginner, but I totally appreciate your break down. I have not used zebras on Canon since my XH-A1 14yrs ago. Thank you for the re-education and I will probably try it out on my next shoot this week. I'm a histogram guy, but using zebras as well may give me more confidence in my shots. I'm loving my R6 every day! Thanks!

Wow Todd. What an amazing video. I just got a R5C for Christmas. Have been trying to break into video for more than 2 years. (ER doc/Covid-19). I learned more in 16 minutes than Ive learned in all that time. A most excellent teaching manner. Very easy to comprehend. Great video. Im definitely signing up. FINALLY...the sun is beginning to shine. Thank You!

Thank you! I’m such a newbie at video and the combination of new camera (R5), new technique, and new software (Resolve) has been completely overwhelming. I looked at several KZfaq videos but yours was the only one that really made sense for my area of photography (wildlife) where there just isn’t time or the opportunity to do complicated setup when a scene presents itself for a few seconds.

Great video. I JUST started using CLOG3 for the first time ever. The last few videos on my channel were done in CLOG3 and even with a basic knowledge of exposing and color grading I can see a night and day difference. This video has helped even further fill some info gaps that I wasn't understanding. Thanks so much.

@alexgti9345 Жыл бұрын

I am now starting to use CLOG3 also, but I am wondering about the correct IRE value to use, as in this video it's 55% but for CLOG1, not CLOG3 which has an extra IL. Do you think the actual correct IRE value for CLOG3 should be less than 55% ? something around 35% instead?

@JHJOwen Жыл бұрын

Superb video, I've been relying on my histogram for some time while using my R5 shooting in CLOG 3 and never quite understood when it was overexposing! Thank you for this video, I've learnt a ton of new information that can help me expose my videos better!
