Hi,

I upgraded my Phantom 4 Pro, and now I've the "new" D-LOG.

I tested it it did brings severals issues:

1. The provided LUT doesn't work anymore(I mean when applied it doesn't give the appropriate colors anymore
2. In my example I've a bright sky and a very dark forest below, and I've so much noise that the footage isn't that usable(and it seems that noise removal is a pro feature of Da Vinci).

So I'm curious:
- Do you use it?
- If yes, what kind of settings you use(saturation, contrast, ...)?
- If yes what kind of editing do you do?

- If no, what do you use instead?

Awesome link.

Small question, in premiere pro is there a way to increase contrast, sat & sharpness to counter -3 and do you just increase them to your liking?

I will try to overexpose to see what it happens.

So I did go out today to test it out.

But it seems that except in full manual, you can't set the exposure in D-LOG?

Just to check, I tested to set manual aperture/speed to go around a +1 exposure(which was already having a lot of blown white), I still see this small noise moving on dark buildings

Dude... D-LOG LOCKS the ISO to 500ISO since march... So I'm trying to find a way to still use D-LOG like I used to do until now...

there's no way dude. At 500 iso in d-log mode, no matter if you place ND filters you will get that noise. I have already posted on this matter and seems that dji is not doing anything about this. Try using d-cinelike.
