Hi I’m new to the whole high end camera thing. When I first got into shooting videos all the YouTubers were talking about C-log 3 when reviewing canon cameras. I recently for the first time heard about C-log 2. Is the difference that noticeable? What would be the differences?
should i use clog 3 or clog? canon r6
In order of least to most dynamic range is clog, Clog3, clog2.
When Clog3 was added to the R5, I remember tests showing it did unlock more DR of it's sensor.
If the r6 sensor is of similar DR then it too will benefit from Clog 3.
Any log format requires 10bit codec to work well. I assume the R6 forces 10 bit like my R5 does when you enable log?
Log with 8bit could well be worse than rec709. (This is what HLG was made for, 8bit)

What are some of the pros and Cons of using Clog2 over clog3? Just the dynamic range?
Newbie question: i have to choose between C-log 3 or RAW (and renting everything needed for RAW), What should i do?
What is the difference between Canon Log, Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3?
The original Canon Log delivers a dynamic range of approximately 12 stops, Canon Log 2 up to 16 stops, and Canon Log 3 up to 14 stops. Canon Log 2 retains more detail in darker areas than Canon Log 3 but also features an elevated noise floor. Canon Log 3 is easier to grade thanks to producing a cleaner image and retains the same amount of highlight information as Canon Log 2.
What is Canon Log used for?
Canon Log is used to capture video footage that has a wider dynamic range and exposure latitude than standard video. The Canon Log tone curve is applied at the point of capture to retain more details in the highlights and shadows compared to standard video.
Which Canon Log is best for low light?
Canon Log 2 is the ideal choice for when maximum detail is required, particularly in low-light scenes to extract shadow information. However, it will also cause elevated noise in those darker regions of the image and therefore require more time in post-production.

Hi everyone, i'm actually using clog 3 with cinegamut but some friends suggest me to switch in clog "because is better". So where is the truth?
In order of least to most dynamic range is clog, Clog3, clog2.

If the r6 sensor is of similar DR then it too will benefit from Clog 3.

Log with 8bit could well be worse than rec709. (This is what HLG was made for, 8bit)
Clog3 retains slightly more DR than Clog.
Article is for R5 but basically same thing: https://m.dpreview.com/articles/3873565570/when-you-shoot-log-on-the-canon-eos-r5-shoot-c-log3-here-s-why
Brief story: I'm a chilean film student on my last year, i'm gonna shoot a shortfilm and it's my first time as a cinematographer (w/ another partner that has shot multiple times before). I'm 10 days away from filming, and i need to know if it's better to film on canon's C-log 3 or RAW.
My equipment is a Canon C200 + two 64gb Cfast cards that the uni gives for free.
My short film will have a lenght of about 15 minutes and has 44 shots spread on 3 days of film
Me and my partner are working the supposition that 1 minute of RAW will weight about 7gb, so we'll need a 256gb Cfast in order to not be constantly logging on the shoot, plus a Cfast reader that the uni doesn't have
NOW, the other three important facts are:
-
we record on June 14th-16th and the deadline of the project is on July 5th, meaning we have 21 days to mount the whole thing.
-
I will make the color post on Davinci, but i've never used Davinci before
-
Me and my partner have never shot on RAW before
We want to keep on editing after the deadline, so RAW would be a good idea in order to make make a better post-exam color postproduction, BUT, at the same time, C log-3 sounds way more manageable for everyone involved, seems to get the job done, plus it doesn't require to rent anything.
Just looking for opinions, thoughts ideas or techniques on working with c log 3 at the base iso or 3200.. I find the noise in c log 3 can be ridiculous if not in a well lit area. But the picture profiles there’s almost no noise.
How are people cleaning up their c log 3 noise?
More so in grading than using heavy noise reduction or plugins (neat video)
