F. Detailed guide to the Cine El Mode
As the cameras actual recording ISO has not changed
opening the aperture results in a brighter recorded image.
With conventional gammas this would be a problem
but with S-Log2/3 there is typically enough headroom in
reserve to cope with this deliberate over exposure. Don’t
forget, if you are concerned about highlight clipping you
can use the High/Low Key function to check for this.
When your recording is good and bright, in post
production the colorist will tend to reduce the brightness
of the scene for a natural looking picture. This post
production level reduction will also bring down the
noise levels within the pictures resulting in cleaner less
grainy images.
