Log Recording

[Marvinrush]

My H Pro has log recording as an option when setting recording parameters. I can't seem to find this on my new plus. Is this option available? If not it seems odd to offer an upgraded camera without this valuable choice for professional recording. Log = RAW

Thanks.

The Plus (C23) does take DNG + JPG, just like the CG03 and standard Typhoon H. Make sure the photo selector is on when you go into the photo settings menu.

I'm interested in video recording in log or raw. Or equivalent. My Pro does this.

The CG03+ only records video in a MP4 H264 format - this is not Raw. Are you perhaps referencing the Color Preset? The names of which are different in the Plus.

Perhaps that's the issue. On my Pro I can record video in what looks like a low contrast and reduced color saturation. This allows for greater flexibility in downstream color correction. I can't seem to find the equivalent option on my +

Okay yeah, you're looking for an Image Format, one that is similar to 'Raw' in the CG03+.

In the Plus: Open the Video Settings, click on 'Picture Mode' that will open and there you can choose your Picture Mode; 'Original' is about the same as the CG03+ 'Raw'

Ok thanks.

Agree with @Ty Pilot the "Original" mode is the flattest color profile the C23 can give. It is not a true LOG but comes close and by far the optimal profile to record in if you want to color grade your footage in post.

It can be a tricky profile to use but I have found that exposing a bit to the right on the histogram, gives the best result when doing color grading this profile in post.

Thanks guys. This clears up a question. I wish Yuneec would stay with the same nomenclature. Thank goodness for this forum.
