I did two footges (one wit DLOG-M and the other HLG) and applied the same DLOG-M-to-Rec709 LUT (since there is no HLG LUT yet)
The HLG format seems to look better.

What do y'all think?

HLG for sure. I shoot the same picture profile on my Sony A7iii and it’s by far the best looking IMO

Thanks for your opinion. I guess no one else in this forum bothers about these settings .

Most of the people on here are hobbyists and probably don’t even understand what this thread is about. So don’t feel bad.

I've (never) shot any video before, even with my DSLR.
My new M2P might change that, so it's good to know, which settings give the best quality. Therefore I'm grateful you shot a comparison in DLOG M and HLG. HLG looks better, not only of better saturation but I seems more natural.

HLG. But I am not sure I could explain why. This whole issue of visual perception fascinates me

I was surprised that HLG looks better and there's not much mention of it compared to DLOG-M.

Let's wait and see if any other members here has other opinions.

Seems like more and more steps to get images out of the can, one more step you forgot, lens correction. Still there are fewer steps using .h264 and less horsepower from the computer, not to mention lens correction is already there.

How many steps AND money people are willing to take to get quality imagery that fits their needs might be a good thread as well.

The lens distortion doesn't bother me much. The world is round, the straight horizon could be a distortion of some sort. I'm trying to get the best possible imagery/video. Just wondering what settings our folks here uses.
