As you know the new Leica SL Full Frame mirrorless system camera has been made with lot of Panasonic tech inside. It even uses Panasonic’s own V-LOG profile. But it seems Leica didn’t implement it well. Newsshooter reports:
Log curves are supposed to be flat, but it seems the Leica version was so flat that it makes grading difficult, perhaps impossible.

I first noticed it with the lens cap on that the blacks in LOG mode seem to start around 100 on the 0-255 luma range. This makes the footage essentially un-gradable, severely limits dynamic range and is an obvious flaw. Who does Leica have testing the video features!?
So this doesn’t seem to work as smooth as a “Full Frame GH4” yet 🙁

This fullframe obsession of the site admin is getting pretty darn boring/annoying…
“Who does Leica have testing the video features!?”
Leica having any video at all is a big step already. It is like 20th century coming for them. 😉
Leica SL: Straight Shit
Sorry, but the grading is only required when you can’t get things correct in the camera or when the director gets different opinion when they sit with the editor in the editor room.
The grading was done for film for chemical reasons, and with digital it is done very rarely as hobbyist people do it all the time.
Get it right in the camera, and you don’t need to grade anything.
I like how the admin continues to troll his own site. Great for driving people away.

Straight PRO…blematic.
Does anybody really buy this stuff?
What am I supposed to get out of this video?
