Sony A7iii Picture Profiles & Custom Settings (Cine4/HLG3/SLOG3)
Apr 10, 2020
Hi there,
I’m starting to edit my videos in DaVinci Resolve 16.2 so wanted to know which profiles practise you apply to shoot videos on my A7 Three in 2020. I have been so many videos on YouTube & scrap dislocated between all of them here are the ones I saw.

SONY A7III Best LOWLIGHT SETTINGS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjyu2s0JawQ(Brand. ART. NOW.)
My purpose
1) Shooting in low-light
2) Shooting outdoor
3) Shooting indoor with incandescent light or using Aputure AL-MW portable light (tutorials/handson)
And so now I’ve never been so confused in my life especially when starting to record video. Really need your help to upwards my video game and editing procedure.
Too I have no experience using LUTs on DaVinci Resolve. Let me know if there are expert costless LUTs or paid for easing my video process.
Thanks for all your help.

I am using both HLG3 and SLOG2 depending on the project.
The easiest to betrayal and to form is HLG3 but has less dynamic range. Slog2 is better in skilful lighting conditions.
HLG3 is more suitable for all conditions

Slog profiles are best avoided for lower light scenes.
The “Brand fine art now” guy you lot posted a link for (reposted below) does some great stuff and I’d recommend maybe following his advice to get you up to speed so start to play around from there – I generally use his settings every bit a starter or slightly tweaked Cine 2 or 4 profiles for the bulk of projects where lightning is non ideal. I’d say there’s a bit too much selection for most people within the A7 profiles and many wouldn’t make total apply of them to a discernible level anyway. Sentry this video again and give it a whirl.

Glad I see this annotate and the video. Very useful tips.

Hi guys – re this mail service – im make new to resolve – currenlty on studio 17 latest. Im using a Sony a7iii and have normally shot cine4 as per the prev comments how easy and good in camera it looks with minimal piece of work required to get a proficient look. Ive been dabbling with HLG3 for more dynamic range etc and liking the results just to start colour grading in davinci is daunting.
1. does anyone have any wedding feel in shooting hlg3 specifically editing in davinci resolve. if this isnt an ideal profile what would you recommend
2. have y’all used the leeming lut pro corrector starter lut for hlg3 and whats been your experience of it to correct the sonys color output in hlg3 specifically
thank you all

Information technology does not affair what kind of videos ane shoots (weddings, sports, eng, narratives, documentaries) for the all-time method of treating HLG3 in post. The best way to convert HLG3 to REC709 in DaVinci Resolve is to use Resolve color management in the project settings. This is non daunting at all. and I have found HLG3 to be the best profile for 8bit cameras.
You gear up the input colour gamut to REC2020 (which is the HLG standard) and the gamma to HLG.
You set ‘Timeline to output tone mapping’ to “Uncomplicated.”
You ready ”Timeline to output gamut mapping’ to “Saturation Mapping.”
The clips will immediately look great, so you can modify them to taste. LUTs are approximations to the mathematical transforms; they are junior to color management transforms (one can also use the ACES transforms).
Here is an example of an HLG3 video that uses this method, from a camera clearly inferior to the A7 three:
No color grading other than using the transforms.
Here is a lower lite example:
Once again, the a7iii volition do even better. The event is the colors.
Note: the full-frame Sony I utilise is the 10bit a7s iii. For that I utilize Slog3.cine, but utilise exactly the aforementioned technique, changing the input gamuts and gammas to Slog3.cinematics and Slog3 respectively.
