Log shooting

Log shooting can be divided into three methods: “Flexible ISO,” “Cine EI,” and “Cine EI Quick.” The differences between normal movie shooting and each Log shooting mode are as follows.

  • Available functions vary by camera model.
  • On models without a [Log Shooting Setting] menu, you can use the S-Log shooting options (PP7, PP8, or PP9) in [Picture Profile] for S-Log shooting.
