Log-Format Recording
"Log-format recording" refers to recording video with "Log," which digitizes light levels using a log function. Log format videos are suitable for video productions that require post-production editing.

About Log
Log is short for "logarithm" and refers to light intensity digitized by a logarithmic function. Log is based on the density characteristics of negative film and can express differences in exposure in a way that more closely matches human perception. This is known as a "Log curve."
