![]() Panasonic has done a great marketing push because members feel like they are at a disadvantage without V-log, but at the same time are not quite sure what it does. This isn’t necessarily going to be a guide on using log (I’m sure the internet doesn’t need another one), but more an insight into Panasonic’s Log addition to the small camera market.

For the aspiring filmmaker, student, or newbie to the craft. For production companies who use the GH5 as a b-cam or for stunt orientated shots where losing a GH5 is an expendable option, the likelihood of spending an additional $100 for V-Log is next to nothing. However, it wasn’t, and as of today, it remains an additional £89.99 or $99.99.

As it cannot be undone in Post it is advised to consider your workflow carefully before the use of this option. In addition to previewing a "look" using the loaded LUT it is possible to use the LUT in three additional modes ġ) REC LOOK Rather than previewing a look, selecting this option will bake the LUT permanently into the recording as a non-reversible process. This LUT can then be applied to the display by selecting the correct LUT memory slot.
