Shooting notes

When this recipe shines.

This recipe shines in low-light environments, particularly for cinematic video work, thanks to the DR400 dynamic range setting. The strong grain and muted colors enhance the filmic quality, but be cautious not to overexpose your highlights, as they are set to 0. Ideal for capturing subtle tones and textures, it may not perform well in bright daylight scenes.

Tune it further

Three tweaks worth trying.

Add warmth for skin tones

Increase the white balance shift red to -4 for a warmer skin tone in your video.

Reduce grain for smoothness

Lower the grain strength to 'Weak' for a cleaner look if the strong grain feels too pronounced.

Boost contrast for more depth

Increase the highlight to +1 and shadow to +3 for a more dynamic range in your images.

FAQ

About this recipe.

This recipe is best suited for low-light conditions, making it ideal for indoor or evening shoots where the Fluorescent 3 white balance excels.

The strong grain can add a cinematic feel to your footage, but in bright conditions, it may become distracting, so consider adjusting the grain strength.

This recipe is specifically optimized for X-Trans V and GFX sensors, ensuring the best performance and image quality.

With color set to +4, expect vibrant hues, but be mindful that this may not suit all scenes, particularly in bright daylight.

Avoid overexposing highlights, as the highlight setting is at 0; this can lead to loss of detail in bright areas.

While designed for video, it can be used for stills, particularly in cinematic styles, but may not suit high-contrast daylight scenes.
