D Log M (with Auto ISO) Superior to D Log

Yes, thank you for the that but I was hoping to hear from the author of that YT video or his supporters/admirers on this forum to offer some explanation how this suppose to improve dynamic range and provide other benefits to video quality. But only silence so far from that end..

I suspect, based upon one of the comments on his YT video, that he may have performed the testing incorrectly, and come to a false conclusion. He's still enjoying the views and doesn’t want to admit his mistake.

Did you comment or DM them on the video?I don’t think the author of that video lives in this chat.

If you lock exposure, there is no benefit to having previously selected Auto ISO, other than deciding which ISO to use throughout. You might as well have selected any single manual ISO to start, which is exactly what you have done, when you lock exposure after having chosen Auto ISO.

My thought was more that you can have a more precise ISO increment selection. Otherwise you are stuck with selecting an iso manually at around 100 and only being able to go up to 200 or 400 in larger increments. The auto feature will go in between. But either way, unless we can reproduce the results on the video I think to each their own, we call the shots and decide what we think it’s best for our case. Nobody is wrong in the art of filmmaking. It’s just a choice we get to make.
