RAW Video Tone Mode and Restrictions
For N-RAW and Apple ProRes RAW videos, you can select the tone mode from [SDR] and [N-Log]. The tone mode for R3D NE is fixed to [Log3G10]. Select a tone mode that fits your production workflow and creative objectives.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| [SDR] |
This mode uses SDR exposure standards when capturing RAW footage. It allows shooting at low sensitivities below ISO 800. |
| [N-Log] | This mode is suitable for high-quality video production that requires post‑production editing. The minimum ISO sensitivity available is ISO 800. With its superior dynamic range in highlight areas, this mode is recommended for color grading. |
| [Log3G10] | This mode uses a Log curve with a wide dynamic range that preserves details in highlights and shadows. It is intended for footage that will be processed using color grading post-production as with the data recorded with RED’s IPP2. |
