Log Profiles
Log profiles are specialized camera recording modes designed to capture maximum dynamic range and tonal detail by flattening contrast and saturation.

Log profiles encode image data using logarithmic curves rather than standard contrast curves. This results in footage that appears washed out or desaturated when viewed directly, but actually contains more recoverable detail in highlights and shadows. Profiles such as S-Log, C-Log, V-Log, and LogC are commonly used in professional workflows. Shooting in log is especially valuable for color grading because it preserves tonal information that would otherwise be clipped. However, log footage requires proper exposure and post-processing to "normalize" it for viewing, often using LUTs or manual grading. Log workflows demand careful monitoring tools like waveform scopes to ensure correct exposure.
