What is canon log?

Canon Log is a gamma curve developed by Canon for their line of DSLR and cinema cameras. It is designed to capture a broader dynamic range and provide greater latitude in post-production grading, making it an excellent choice for professional cinematography and professional photography. Canon Log preserves more of the details in highlights and shadow areas, allowing filmmakers and photographers to create more cinematic-looking footage.

Canon Log also offers a wide color gamut, allowing for high-quality color grading in post-production. With Canon Log, users can shoot footage with a flat, desaturated look, which can be color graded to achieve any desired look or effect.

There are multiple versions of Canon Log, including Canon Log, Canon Log 2, and Canon Log 3, each providing increasingly high dynamic ranges. Canon Log can be activated on most Canon DSLR and cinema cameras by selecting it in the camera's settings menu.
