It makes sense to me that adding LUTs to an already graded image (like natural color style) is not that easy. It’s clear to me that shooting in log makes any kind of grading easier as the image is flat. But I am not sure when it comes to dynamic range. I read that usually log should give you more dynamic range but that this benefit does not exist on drones due to lower bitrates and sensor beeing to tiny.
I also found this discussion which seem to confirm it:
Does the Air support D-Log?
Seems like due to the small sensor shooting in log may also lead to more noise and other problems. So as long as I am not planning to do heavy color adjustment it looks like it’s better to shoot in natural color styles and just make smaller adjustments to that.
Not sure about all this at the moment.
