What does ISO have to do with HDR PQ or C-Log?

Re: What does ISO have to do with HDR PQ or C-Log?

I am only repeating what I vaguely remember from what I read, which may or may not be true, but…

… the issue isn’t so much the bright lights. The bright lights can be managed by the system.  That is to say, a faster shutter speed or a higher aperture. The issue is seeing into the shadows after the « bright lights » have been taken care of. And that is where the sensitivity  of the sensor to light comes into play.

The path to good Dynamic Range doesn’t come from being able to have a « high ceiling », but rather from having a « low floor ».
