PMW-350 Profile to match F3 S-Log

Post by HDTV-Entertainment » February 2nd, 2012, 6:06 pm

Has anyone developed a profile for the PMW-350 to match the S-Log on the F3.

Alister posted a starting guess a while back. Was wondering if anyone had a chance to refine it?

In case you are wondering, here is what Alister posted:

You could experiment with the following on a 350:

Detail: OFF
Aperture: OFF
Matrix: Cinema, Matrix Level +10
Gamma Type: HG
Gamma: HG4
Black gamma: ON
Black Gamma Range: Hi
Black Gamma: +85
Master Black Level: -1

These settings are a best guess based on past experience with the PMW-350, so may or may not work, but if you expose mid grey at around 40% or about one stop under where you normally would, you will gain an extra stop of overexposure, while the black stretch should help you retain enough shadow information for a sensible post grade image.
