Canon Log gamma is gamma correction for post-production. It is
geared to maximize the image sensor’s characteristics and attain a
wide dynamic range. It minimizes loss of shadow and highlight details,
and tonal information from the shadows to highlights can be
incorporated in the movie.
A movie shot with Canon Log gamma can be applied with a lookup
table (LUT) during post-production. Download the LUT data from the
Canon Web site.
