Canon 1DC Dynamic Range Shooting in Log ISO 100 v ISO 640
I get asked about workflow and my go to settings by photographers new to
DSLR video. To help them here are my thoughts about ISO selection.
Shooting with the 1DC in Log a low ISO may not offer you the best files in terms of dynamic range. The table shows from ISO 100 to less than 320 dynamic range is more biased to under 18%grey. When you select ISO 320+ you release the maximum dynamic range above 18% grey. This is the area where skin tones and highlights are.
For everyday use an ISO of 320-800 may offer you the best files, use filters for out door shooting to retain the ISO and maintain your look.
Hope this helps.

Canon 1Dc & 1Dx The perfect 4k Video Camera and DSLR.
Camera's on set for my shooting with Fabio Mancini + a Canon 5dii
Camera's as used on my shoot with Fabio Mancini, for the stills a Canon 1DX with 85L Prime, for video the Canon 1DC with Zeiss lens in 4k and CLog mode .
Key to keeping the 4k video recording are high speed (160MB/sec) cards.
I cannot fault either camera, both deliver stunning images and video. To get the most from them like any DSLR set them up to your liking for each project using custom menu's.
I love the crop and spirit level features in both of camera's, my preference is the square and 3:4 crop previews.
