character_diamond Exposure When [V-Log L] Is Set

The [V-Log L] curve characteristics comply with “V-Log/V-Gamut REFERENCE MANUAL Rev.1.0”. When set to [V-Log L], the standard exposure when gray with a reflectance ratio of 18 % is imaged is IRE 42 %.

image_v-log-character

(A) Reflectance ratio: 18 %

(B) Reflectance ratio: 90 %

When [Photo Style] is set to [V-Log L]

Reflectance ratio (%)	0	18	90
IRE (%)	7.3	42	61
Stop	—	0.0	2.3
10 bit code value	128	433	602
12 bit code value	512	1732	2408

When luminance is to be displayed by “Stop” units, this camera calculates IRE 42 % to “0 Stop”.

Luminance can be checked by “Stop” units:

– The number of characters that can be used in a file name differs depending on the file system of the card.

(Use alphanumeric characters for the file name.)

FAT32 (SD/SDHC card): Up to 8 characters (excluding extension).

exFAT (SDXC card): Up to 255 characters (including the extension).
