Recording N-Log Video
Log recording uses light levels digitized via a log function. To enable log
recording using Nikon’s unique “N-Log” log function, select [N-RAW
12-bit (NEV)], [ProRes RAW HQ 12-bit (MOV)], [ProRes 422 HQ 10-bit
(MOV)], or [H.265 10-bit (MOV)] for [Video file type] in the video
recording menu and choose [N-Log] as the tone mode. Choose N-Log
to preserve details in highlights and shadows and avoid over-saturated
colors when recording videos.

will appear in the shooting display.
The dynamic range for videos shot with [H.265 10-bit (MOV)]
selected for [Video file type] and ISO sensitivity set as low as possible
(ISO 800) is 12 stops (1300%).
N-Log recording is intended for footage that will be processed using
color grading post-production. Color grading can be used to achieve
multiple effects from a single sequence by processing it in different
ways.
Compatible third-party software is required for color grading.
Applying N-Log 3D LUTs during color grading produces video that
displays beautifully on monitors compatible with Rec. 709.
- N-Log 3D LUTs are available from the Nikon Download Center.
