N-Log Videos: A Primer
About N-Log
Nikon’s unique “N-Log” is a logarithmic gamma curve de-
signed to take full advantage of sensor dynamic range. Use
N-Log to preserve details in highlights and shadows and
avoid over-saturated colors when recording videos.
How to record N-Log footage varies by camera type. See
the Reference Guide for your camera available from the
Nikon Download Center for details.

N-Log Editing
N-Log recording is intended for footage that will be pro-
cessed using color grading post-production. Color grading
can be used to achieve multiple eects from a single se-
quence by processing it in dierent ways. To color grade
N-Log footage, you will need compatible third-party video
editing software.
