Exposing using EL ZONE in post & creating MONITOR LUTs
UPDATE
It turns out EL Zone is patented, so I've had to remove the files I originally had available for download, sorry.
EL Zone is a simple but powerful idea. Let’s display digital image values as ‘stops’ of linear light, just as we do on-set. So far, this system is limited to SmallHD monitors and a select few cameras, but in this video I go through the EL Zone DCTL that I made to use this in colour grading, and how to export a LUT to use this system (in a limited way) on any monitor or camera that supports LUTs.

    awesome video! I want to use this to replicate other cinematographers and practice. I downloaded some stills from IMDB but when. i went. to use this dltc it was off... I believe I coded everything right, I tried transforming the stills to linear as well but the output color space could not be turned to linear. I am missing that grey card thing you have in one of your nodes. could that be affecting something? how would you go about using this with misc movie stills that you want to replicate?

    Besides open gate, the Cinema 6k and Pyxis has better rolling shutter than the Sony FX9 and the same 22ms as the Sony Burano that cost $25,000. People just complain too much and it’s really ruining the independent film maker’s world. The FX3 has less pixels and only shoot 4k. People need to stop complaining or just don’t buy the camera.

    This is a great video !!! was able to create the DCTL , exactly. recoded what was shown in the video. Things seems to work but only problem is - the colors are not coming correctly as per the EL zone. Middle gray shows as +1 stop .. and only 4-5 band shows up when I use it on the exposure gray card DTCL I checked code multiple times and luminance range for each if else and RGB even thing looks fine in the code, but I nearly see the right EL zone for any of the exposure gray card. Any suggestion help is much appreciated

    I managed to create the DCTL and it seems to work flawlessly on my s5iix. I set a function button to "LUT select" so I can easily switch between the ELZ LUT and the Rec709. viewing LUT. I set another function button to turn on/off LUTs so I can quickly see the VLOG display (not ideal but quick) to check the framing which works well for simple shots. For run and gun stuff this will work well for me without external monitor and for more serious work I always use an external monitor anyway I found one caveat: colors are not very accurately displayed in the viewfinder - which is a bit of a bummer - because I use the viewfinder a lot. I will be searching for an exposure DCTL to emulate how you adjust exposure in post. Overall this is a great solution for exposing - certainly much better than waveforms or false color. THANKS A LOT FOR SHARING! And please keep posting, your content is highly appreciated :)

    You're still losing material. The best thing to do is getting a camera with good rolling-shutter performance (or a global shutter). Sadly, a lot of the recently-released cameras' chip-readout times suck. Anyway, this video lacks any substantial demonstration of legitimate jello effect, which occurs during UP-&-DOWN movement.

    I copied the code, and it doesn't seem to be working correctly on my Ursa Mini Pro G2. It shows the wrong values. Do I need to alter the DCT for my camera dynamic range? How can I do this? 14-15 stops dynamic range. Need a monitoring lut. This is amazing stuff man!

    Then when filming scenes you will need to stabilize in post, perhaps best to shoot a tad wider b/c you will need to crop.

    When you mentioned focal length of lens and the fact you have to specify that for Davinci Resolve, I immediately thought I cannot use this tool if I use Metabones speed booster with vintage Nikon F or M42 lens. I assume there is no way to give sufficient amount of information for Davinci Resolve in order to do its thing, so its better just assume this method is out of my reach as long as I use the speed booster and vintage lenses. Am I right?

    That's why I don't care for nerds who talk about gear, but have nothing to show for. UA-cam is a sea of pixel peepers who have either a portfolio that feels soulless or worse don't even have anything and who talk about specs as if they're pc gamers comparing technicalities of PC components. But the fix isn't a great fix, the image is getting cropped in and you're losing some parts of the image.

    This crops the sensor - quite a lot, actually. It doesn't just fix it with no downside. You might as well just shoot cropped and have a faster readout. Also, as you mentioned, it only works for jello caused by the camera moving and the rest of what you're shooting staying still; if what you're shooting moves it will still be distorted. It's all a bit dumb, TBH.
