SGamut3.Cine: According to Sony’s “Technical Summary for S-Gamut3Cine/S-Log3
and S-Gamut3/S-Log3” whitepaper, S-Gamut3.Cine is designed to provide a more
traditionally log-encoded workflow with color reproduction that is slightly wider than
the P3 gamut.
P3: Decodes to an RGB-encoded image data with a D61 white point, intended for
use when outputting media for DCI mastering.
ACES: Decodes to image data that maps to the ACES profile for the camera that
wasused.
Gamma: Five gamma settings are available, depending on what starting point you want
to use for further grading.
Gamma 2.4: A simple power-function gamma setting commonly used for broadcast.
Gamma 2.6: A simple power-function gamma setting commonly used for digital
cinema projection.
Rec. 709: A gamma curve typical for Rec. 709 display.
SLog: Not designed for viewing, Sony’s SLog gammas are designed to provide a
wide latitude for grading; 14-stops according to Sony. 18% gray is at 38%.
SLog2: This version has a half stop offset from SLog to allow for a higher dynamic
range. 18% gray is at 32%.
SLog3: An “easier to grade” version of SLog. 18% gray is at 40%. According to Sony’s
“Technical Summary for S-Gamut3Cine/S-Log3 and S-Gamut3/S-Log3,” SLog3 is
designed to provide a more traditionally log-encoded workflow, with a gamma curve
that is similar, but not identical, to Cineon workflows.
Linear: A simple linear gamma setting.
Lift: Adjusts the black point of the media, raising it or lowering it while scaling all
midtone values between it and the white point. Regardless of how you adjust this
control, all image data is preserved and can be retrieved in subsequent adjustments.
The range is –100 to +100.
Gain: Adjusts the white point of the media, raising or lowering it while scaling all
midtone values between it and the black point. Regardless of how you adjust this
control, all image data is preserved and can be retrieved in subsequent adjustments.
0is unity. The range is –100 to +100.
Contrast: Raising contrast reduces shadows and raises highlights, while leaving
midtones at 50 percent unaffected. Regardless of how you adjust this control, all image
data is preserved and can be retrieved in subsequent adjustments. 0 is unity. The
range is –100 to +100.
Tint: Color balance correction for images with a green or magenta color cast, such as
fluorescent or sodium vapor bulbs. 0 is unity. The range is –150 to +150.
Sharpness: A debayer-specific sharpness filter applied to provide the appearance of
enhanced image detail. 20 is unity. The range is 0 to 100.
Highlights: Makes it easy to selectively retrieve blown-out highlight detail in high-
dynamic-range media by lowering this parameter, and achieves a smooth blend
between the retrieved highlights and the unadjusted midtones for a naturalistic result.
0is unity. The range is –100 (minimum) through +100 (maximum).
Shadows: Lets you selectively lighten or darken shadow detail. Raising this value
retrieves shadow detail recorded below 0 percent, while leaving the midtones alone.
0is unity. The range is –100 (minimum) through +100 (very high).
