Optional Canon Log Feature Upgrade provides a high amount of dynamic range to be encoded, for post-production colour grading
The EOS 5D Mark IV camera can be a more sophisticated moviemaking tool by adding Canon Log through an optional feature upgrade. Once the camera is upgraded, you can use the Canon Log mode to record 4K and Full HD video files that feature an increased dynamic range of up to approx. 800% or 12 stops (at ISO 400 or above), ideal for extensive post-production processing. For professional users and anyone who wants to get the most out of the EOS 5D Mark IV’s brilliant CMOS sensor, Canon Log can be an indispensable function. Current EOS 5D Mark IV camera owners will be able to receive the Canon Log upgrade for a fee by sending the camera to a Canon Factory Service Center. Notes about Image Quality with Canon Log: When Canon Log is set, horizontal noise stripes may appear in movies depending on subject or shooting conditions. It is recommended to shoot a few test movies and check before the actual shooting. Note that noise may become more noticeable especially when you apply strong contrast during colour grading of the shot movie. Horizontal noise stripes tend to appear when the subject is dark and flat or [Peripheral illum.] is set to [Enable]. This noise may also appear when ISO speed is relatively low, such as at ISO 400. When the noise is noticeable, it is recommended to set [Peripheral illum.] to [Disable], shoot in brighter exposure, and perform brightness adjustment during colour grading. Also, noise may be decreased when you shoot at ISO speed lower than ISO 400 (even though the dynamic range will be narrowed).
