“ It took me a while to get comfortable shooting S-Log3 underwater… a lot of trial and error. But this is what I keep coming back to now.
For those shooting underwater on the Sony A7S III or any other Sony cameras that can shoot in S-Log3, here’s my full setup:
• Exposure Mode: Shutter Priority
• Resolution: XAVC HS 4K (H.265)
• Frame Rate: 120p
• Shutter Speed: 1/250
• ISO:
640 (bright conditions)
12,800 (low light)
These are the dual base ISOs—and this specifically applies to the Sony A7S III, Sony ZV-E1, and Sony FX3 since they’re all using the same sensor.
• Picture Profile: PP11
(S-Log3 + S-Gamut3.Cine)
• Color Depth: 4:2:2 10-bit
• EV Compensation: +1.7 (ETTR for S-Log3)
• Gamma Display Assist: On
• REC w/ Shutter: On
• White Balance: Underwater Auto
(works surprisingly well, especially for close subjects)
Lighting underwater changes fast but this setup just helps me keep up and still have flexibility in post”
