Image Quality when Canon Log gamma is set

When Canon Log gamma is set, vertical noise stripes may appear in movies depending on subject or shooting conditions. It is recommended to shoot a few test movies and check before the actual shooting.

Vertical noise stripes tend to appear when the subject is dark and flat or [Peripheral illumin.] is set to [Enable]. This noise may also appear when ISO speed is relatively low, such as at ISO 400. Additionally, the noise may become more noticeable when A:8/7is set compared to when other movie-recording sizes are selected.

When the noise is noticeable, it is recommended to set [Peripheral illumin.] to [Disable], shoot in brighter exposure, and perform brightness adjustment during color grading. Also, noise may be decreased when you shoot at ISO speed lower than ISO 320 (even though the dynamic range will be narrowed).
