Canon Log Gamma

The Canon Log gamma setting makes full use of the newly developed sensor to offer spectacular dynamic range. Clips recorded using Canon Log gamma need to be processed in post-production by applying a LUT (look-up table). By fine-tuning the LUT you use in post-production you can perfectly realize the artistic vision you desire. For more details about available LUTs, visit you local Canon Web site.

Checking clips recorded with Canon Log gamma

When Canon Log gamma is used, the image displayed on the screen will appear darker than usual. You can use the view assistance function to display an image that approximates the one that would be obtained using a normal gamma setting. View assistance is only applied on the camcorder screen; it will not affect your recordings or the video signal output from the various terminals.
