[BT.709 Wide DR / BT.709], [BT.709 Normal / BT.2020], [BT.709 Normal / BT.709]
Combination of gamma curve and color space settings that affects the overall look and color space of
the image.
Gamma curve
[Canon Log 2]: Logarithmic gamma curve that obtains a richer color gradation in the dark areas of
the image. Requires image processing in post-production.
[Canon Log 3]: Logarithmic gamma curve that keeps the characteristics of the [Canon Log] setting
while expanding its dynamic range. Requires image processing in post-production.
[PQ]: HDR (high dynamic range) gamma curve compliant with the PQ standard defined by ITU-R
BT.2100.
[HLG]: HDR (high dynamic range) gamma curve compliant with the HLG standard defined by ITU-R
BT.2100.
[BT.709 Wide DR]: Gamma curve with a very wide dynamic range. Optimized for playback on TV
monitors. Equivalent to the [Wide DR] setting in previous camera models.
[BT.709 Normal]: Standard picture for playback on TV monitors. Equivalent to the [Normal1] setting in
previous camera models.
Color space
[C.Gamut]: Color space developed by Canon based on the specific characteristics of the camera’s
imaging sensor. It covers a wider color gamut than that of BT.2020. Use this setting with
workflows that require ACES2065-1 color space.
[BT.2020]: Color space that meets ITU-R BT.2020 standards, which defines parameters for ultra-
high-definition television (4K/8K).
[BT.709]: Standard color space that is compatible with sRGB specifications.
[Color Matrix] [Neutral], [Production Camera], [Video]
The color matrix affects the overall color tonality of the image.
[Neutral]: Reproduces neutral colors.
[Production Camera]: Reproduces colors more suitable for motion picture production.
[Video]: Reproduces the colors of an EOS C300/EOS C500 camera with no custom picture settings
applied.
[HLG Color] [BT.2100], [Vivid]
Changes the quality of color reproduction when using the hybrid log gamma (HLG). This setting is
only available when [Gamma/Color Space] is set to [HLG / BT.2020].
[BT.2100]: Color reproduction according to ITU-R BT.2100 specifications.
[Vivid]: More saturated color reproduction according to the 'Traditional Colour' approach in ITU-R
BT.2390.
[Black]
[Master Pedestal] –50 to +50 (±0)
Increases or decreases the black level. Higher settings will make dark areas brighter but decrease
contrast. This setting is not available when the gamma curve component of the [Gamma/Color
Space] setting is set to one of the [Canon Log 2] or [Canon Log 3] options.
[Master Black Red],
[Master Black Green],
[Master Black Blue]
–50 to +50 (±0)
These settings correct the color cast in blacks. These settings are not available when the gamma
curve component of the [Gamma/Color Space] setting is set to one of the [Canon Log 2] or [Canon
Log 3] options.
