Log Compatible RAW Videos
Nikon cameras support two types of RAW video with Log recording: N-Log and Log3G10.
N-Log Videos
To enable Log recording using Nikon's unique N-Log format, select [N-Log] as the tone mode with N-RAW or Apple ProRes RAW videos.
- The N‑Log format takes full advantage of sensor dynamic range. It records videos that preserve details in highlights and shadows.
- How to record N-Log footage varies by camera type. See the "Reference Guide" for your camera in the Nikon Download Center for details.
Log3G10 Videos
Select R3D NE (where tone mode is fixed to [Log3G10]) to enable Log recording using RED's unique Log3G10 format.
- Log3G10 is a log curve that encodes footage in the REDWideGamutRGB color space, and is designed for subsequent grading and conversion to HDR, SDR, and other Log encodings.
- See the "Reference Guide" for your Log3G10-compatible camera in the Nikon Download Center for details on how to record Log3G10 footage.
