Log space comes to the Canon 5D. Technicolor as been working with Canon USA to create CineStyle which puts the standard H.264 REC709 color space into a log color space. This includes both video and stills.
What does this mean to you the user? Like all log space recordings, the image looks very low contrast and washed out on the monitor but all the detail is recorded, especially in the shadows.
This also means that you have to color correct every shot you take. No wonder Technicolor is giving it away. And by last Saturday, according to the Technicolor guys at CineGear Expo 35,000 people had downloaded CineStyle.
Even if you were at CineExpo it was easy to miss the sign that directed you to Technicolor where they were showing off CineStyle and what you could do with it, especially using Technicolor's DP Lights on-set color correction system. Technicolor has a suite of new products, including DP Lights, Share Vue, Your Vue, Movie Slate and CineStyle.
CineStyle will work on any DSLR but it is optimized for the 5D II, which is what they see being used as a second camera in work they are taking in shop.
And check out some examples of log space shooting at Phillip Bloom's blog.
