Do Eterna @ 400% DR have the same dynamic range as F-Log?

Hi, all

This maybe not the first time people have asked this question, both F-Log and Eterna @400%DR use iso640, does it mean that both should retain same information especially at high Dynamic range scene?

Cheers

It doesn't get you the whole way there but DR 400% gets you closer. You can play with the tone curve in camera on the eterna profile to get it even more flat and squeeze a little more DR out of it but honestly just factory set eterna and 400% will get you very usable results without the annoyance of grading log footage.

Thanks so much

Eterna is a LOT less work for grading later, I use LUT to add a bit more flaour on top of eterna, wasn't sure about how much DR will lose there, but my understanding from your advise is that it's a much better option for beginners who don't know much about grading (I was trying to use LUT for Flog only but got no luck).

I assume Classic Chrome and other profile with H-2/S-2 and DR400% does similar trick?

Well DR400 actually does a neat trick of only pushing shadows and midtones while giving you a 2 stop protection over highlights, regardless of the film simulation, so this will work with classic chrome.
