A quick cheat sheet for the triple base ISOs for the Sony FX5 for shooting in RAW, S-Log 3 or S-Cinetone.

The Three Base ISO's for the Sony FX5

This is a quick cheat sheet for the base ISOs for the Sony FX5. If you're shooting in RAW, (X-OCN LT, X-OCN C1 or X-OCN C2), S-Log 3, you'll have access to Cine EI which will take care of these values for you, and you wont have to remember these ISO values off the top of my head.

However, if you want to shoot custom ISO modes, or not use Cine EI in S-Log 3 - here is a quick reference for the different triple-base ISO values for the most popular profiles for the Sony FX5.

‍

Algos decide what you see. As a person who both makes and consumes content on social media, this is maddening. But this is the world we live in now.

In exchange for your email, I will send you a digest once a month of everything I've made, along with some cool stuff I've found on the internet.

If I'm busy, I forget to send the emails, so it might be an email every other month sometimes.

Either way, I wont spam you. I don't have that kind of time.
