First Promo Shoot with GH4 V Log L in 10bit ProRes. Is V LOG L Worth $99?
I decided to go ahead and shoot a promo with the new V Log L but not with the internal codec. Instead I wanted to get 10bit out to the Odyssey 7Q+ since the GH4 is capable of outputting 10bit I might as well take advantage of it especially when you have a LOG gamma […]
