Canon C70 Part 2: Best Camera Settings! Menu Walkthrough 

Hiya, I talk quite a lot about the difference between Clog 2 and 3 in my Part 1 video, so deffo go and check that out as it’s got some log examples aswell, but essentially in a nutshell, Clog3 was created after Clog2 due to a lot of industry professions being unhappy with the noise floor of CLog2, which meant the shadows produced quite a lot of noise and grain, and it was initially designed to be used across large productions and professional colourist workflows in which they have all the tools at their disposal to get the best from the image. Clog3 isn’t as aggressive in lifting the shadows, so the noise and grain is better controlled, which means it’s better when a quicker grade is needed, and its meant to be easier for people to work with in post. However, Canons new sensors (especially in the C70 are excellent at controlling noise) much better than the C200, and 300 models, so Clog2 is definitely easier to work with now in comparison to when it was first introduced. I mainly still use CLog3 as it normally gives me more than enough dynamic range, especially if I can control the lighting environment, and I find it nice to grade with, especially if I’m using a CST in Resolve. I do sometimes use CLog2, and if you shoot in the RAW formats on the C70 it defaults to CLog2 (however you can change this in post via the RAW metadata). I’ll prob make a part 3 video dedicated to shooting Raw on the C70 and using CLog2 and grading it using a CST ☺️ Hope that helps 👍

@@ianthurstan Thanks heaps! I actually have never tested CLOG 3 with the C70 so will give it a go, all makes sense.

At the 4.26 point I refer to C-log 3 having greater dynamic range when compared to WideDR ☺️. If you wanted even more dynamic range than C-Log3 then yes C-Log 2 have around an additional stop over C-Log3 👍

If you’re shooting 10 bit or greater always shoot log. Wide DR is intended for 8-bit color spaces and quick delivery.

@@ianthurstan Oh gotcha. I must have heard that wrong. lol. Either way, great video!!

15:34 in my message above I am referring to this section

@@dawanbrown6615 hiya mate, yeah you should not have an issue taking the camera settings from a rented camera and then uploading the same settings into your own personal camera, as long as the cameras are the same brand and make, I.e as long as they are both C70 cameras ☺️

I've never had an issue with the C70 screen sharpness Personally, however the hinge on it is pretty awful and really needs a redesign
