Setting the Canon Log Gamma

Canon Log gamma is gamma correction for post-production. It is geared to maximize the image sensor’s characteristics and attain a wide dynamic range. It minimizes loss of shadow and highlight details, and tonal information from the shadows to highlights can be incorporated in the movie.

A movie shot with Canon Log gamma can be applied with a lookup table (LUT) during post-production. Download the LUT data from the Canon Web site.
