Custom Picture Settings
The camera lets you change many settings (
A
138) that control various aspects of the image produced. As a
set, all these settings are treated as a single custom picture file. After adjusting the desired settings to your
preference, you can save up to 20 custom picture files (in the camera or on an SD card), and load them later to
apply exactly the same settings (
A
137). You can also save the custom picture file as part of the metadata
embedded in clips recorded on the CFast card (
A
137).
NOTES
• Custom picture files are exclusively compatible for use only with C300 Mark II cameras.

Preset Picture Settings

presets off and change the desired settings individually (

These settings use Canon Log 2 gamma and presume a
workflow that includes post-production processing.
They achieve an even wider dynamic range than with the
[Canon Log] setting and superior gradation in the shadows
(dark areas of the image). The color space can be selected
from 4 options.
