Settings unless otherwise stated:
  • 1080p25 MXF 4:2:2 50Mbps ungraded
  • Shutter speed 1/50
  • Gamma Cine1
  • Color Matrix Wide DR
  • Noise Reduction OFF
  • ND Filter Automatic
  • Gain 0dB
  • Other settings default

Gamma is set to Cine1 as I am always trying to emulate the coveted film look. However, I used the Wide DR color matrix which is meant for Wide DR gamma mode. I should be using Cine1 or Cine2 color matrix but I somehow prefer the colors of Wide DR. Canon's Cine gamma modes seem a little muted in colors to me.

Download video to see the quality more accurately. Vimeo does rather heavy compression.

Nice DR! Highlights quite well controlled. Overcast sky helps too.
