Demystifying Canon Log 3: Capture Stunning Footage with Your Canon Camera — Pozo Production
December 15, 2025 - Exposing for Skin Tones: Turn on Zebra 1 and increase exposure until the bright side of your subject's skin is covered in zebras. Skin tones look best at this IRE value, so you know that the side of their face with light will be properly exposed.

Exposing c-log3 for wildlife
Any settings for my zebras or should I just focus on my histogram? Canon refuses to let us have a histogram while recording. So zebras are it. Setting the zebra 2 at 95% and not clipping and details you want to clip is most important. You can set zebra one at middle gray, but how often do you have a gray card in frame? Easier for portraits you could pick the IRE right for the skin tone you are shooting. I find the auto exposure is 1 1\3 stop to dark, so I leave mine set at +1 1\3. I have not found an accurate way to convert Cinema Gammut from the R5, so I shoot rec709 Gammut with Clog3 gamma as discussed here. https://www.reddit.com/r/CanonR5/s/eZGgQOw25r More on reddit.com

Canon Log 3: Is It the “GoldiLog”? | Tech News | Blog & Knowledge | AbelCine
It's interesting to note that the gray point for Canon Log 3 is the same as Canon Log 1 at right around 32.5% on a waveform monitor. Canon Log 2's middle gray value is 39%, almost exactly the same as Arri's LogC and very similar to Sony's S-Log3 (41%). But where Canon Log 1 will show tonal merger near clip at a given exposure value (using a Zeiss Otus ZE lens at the camera's native ISO of 800 in our tests), Canon Log 3 will show separation between the two brightest steps on a DSC Labs DX1 chart (forerunner to their popular Xyla series of backlit dynamic range charts) while maintaining the same distribution of stops below middle gray.

If you shoot Log on the Canon EOS R5, you should shoot C-Log3. Here's why.: DPReview | Photography News, Gear Reviews & Community
April 7, 2021 - But this shouldn't be the case, since we gave identical exposure to both modes. Look closer and you'll see that the noise in C-Log3 mode extends the same distance above and below the 128 marker line, which is what you'd expect: noise is variation above and below the 'true' value. But in C-Log mode, it extends upwards by the same amount as C-Log3, but cuts off cleanly just below a value of 128. Canon is using a very high black clipping level to make the darkest tones appear less noisy.

Use the waveform to figure out the correct exposure. You can also use false colour to see if anything is clipping. Then in post use the BT709 LUT from Canon - use google to find it as it's impossible to find anything on Canon site directly. Get yourself Davinci Resolve. The free version won't support XF-AVC codec, so you might want to get the paid one if you want to take advantage of it, but it's a one time purchase and you get lifetime free upgrades. Totally worth it. In Davinci there are "nodes", which is same thing as "layers" in Photoshop, which means one node builds upon the node before it. You will apply the LUT in its own node, then adjust curves or color wheels in a separate node BEFORE it. If you do it after, then whatever LUT has applied is already going to be baked in, so if it blew the highlights out, you won't be able to recover them unless you do it in a node that comes before the LUT, which makes total sense and keeps the colour correction/grade organized. You can get a colour checker if you want to be super accurate, but it's not required. If you shoot RAW, then WB is easily adjustable in post. Automatic white balance is really good on R5C, so you can rely on that too.

Canon C300 mkii Log Log2 or Log3 which is best?
I set a grey card up lit with an even light from a kino flo and put a white card and black next to it as a reference. The camera was set to native 800 ISO and I tried out various exposures. Grey was placed at 39 % for LOG2 and 32.5 % for LOG 3 (Incidentally exposure did not need to be altered in order to achieve this shift in values)

What is Canon Log?
The Base Sensitivity for Canon Log 3 is 800 · ISO. Base Sensitivity is the setting where the split between highlight and shadow dynamic range · is most even. Shooting at a setting below the base will shift dynamic range to the shadows. ... Due to Log’s flat nature, it is often difficult to expose by eye from the Log image alone.

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)

EOS R: Why use C Log3? - Canon Community
December 15, 2024 - Prefer 65grid, unless you have some old kit that only supports 33grid or 17grid · "full-to-full-range" is the next option -- ??? then pick the LUT that fits your needs. Probably "CinemaGamut_CanonLog3-to-BT709_WideDR_65_FF_Ver.2.0", because you will be going from Log3 to BT709. If you were producing for BT2020, you'd know. That should be it. But the bottom line for shooting log is if you don't know why you need it, then you don't need it. BTW, if you do shoot log, apply your exposure correction BEFORE the LUT; otherwise there really is no point.

Canon C-LOG exposed, literally
Shooting linear gamma (as RED does) or LOG gamma (as does ARRI, Sony F3 and Canon C100/300/500) are at quite opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of what is happening to the spread of data information used to represent the signal and to some degree the “lattitude” that can be gained depending on how you decide to expose either format.

How to expose LOG footage correctly
Sony cameras shoot S log, but the curves are essentially doing the same thing. There are a few things you hear all the time on this subject, and these are also three things I'd recommend doing: 1) Expose to the right (meaning to the right of the histogram i.e slight over exposure).
