Mini 5 Pro Video Quality - D Log M Profile
Show More Show Less View Video Transcript
0:00
The log M is a 10 bit flat profile with
0:03
reduced contrast to minimize the
0:05
difference in luminosity between the
0:07
highlights and the shadows.
0:10
It requires a good dose of
0:11
post-processing and the use of lots to
0:14
bring back the shadows and highlights to
0:16
their optimal level thus reducing the
0:19
risk of overexposure or underexposure.

DJI has already published a free
0:25
specific lot for the Mini 5 Pro. You
0:27
will find a link in the description
0:29
below. When using this profile, the
0:31
image appears very flat on the screen.
0:34
But in the Jifly app, below the profile
0:36
selection, it is possible to activate
0:39
color display assist for an improved
0:41
visualization.
0:43
In this model, the log M is particularly
0:45
well implemented. In easy light
0:48
conditions, the files respond extremely
0:50
well to postprocessing and it is easy to
0:53
modify the footage to fit the color
0:55
scheme of a specific project. The
0:58
quality of footage taken with the metal
0:59
mode is also excellent. Let me know your
1:02
impression in the comments.
1:06
I use the log M on most occasions, but
1:08
the situation where it clearly
1:10
outclasses normal is HDR condition. As
1:13
you can see from these clips,
1:16
the footage retains plenty of
1:17
information and contrast in the shadows
1:20
while avoiding overexposure in the
1:22
highlights.
1:24
The structure of the sky is excellent
1:26
with practically no noise.
1:32
The 5y Pro has a third color profile
1:34
HLG. It is a 10- bit one and is designed
1:38
for use with high definition display
1:40
units such as a few recent TVs. This
1:44
profile can be used on regular display
1:46
units, but it is more complex to
1:48
post-process and requires a specific
1:50
color space. The majority of user should
1:53
focus on normal and log.
