I've been testing S-Log S-Gamut on the Z90. It's still a learning process for me.
I'm using FCPX 10.4 to examine the files.
Testing on UHD (so far) which is only 8 Bit.
I like the flexibility on how to handle highlights and shadows in Post rather than being locked in to another Gamma.
There's the potential for shadow noise unless one over exposes and brings down in post.
Oddly if I'm going to apply a Camera Lut (after adjusting exposure) that using the Lut for S-log 3 S-Gamut3.Cine looks better than any S-Log 2 Lut.
I'm an "urban" shooter so I'm often trying to retain highlights (sky,clouds) while the subject may be in shadow created by surrounding buildings. This is different than much of the "scenic" stuff I see others posting.
I'll post screenshots as I can but the shots aren't "pretty." They were done to match typical circumstances I may shoot in.
