Dynamic Range in %

PostWed Aug 14, 2013 7:57 pm

Specs are often difficult to compare due to different standards :(


BMPCC and BMCC has a dynamic range of 13 stops.

Canon C100 has a dynamic range of 800%.


How many stops is 800%, and how many percent is 13 stop?

"ISO range of 320-20,000 with wide dynamic range (12 stops achievable when shooting Canon Log Gamma or Wide DR Gamma)"

http://www.zgc.com/t/techinfo/canon-cin ... -c100.html

Somehow I doubt it's 12 stops though. I've graded C300 footage and the dynamic range wasn't nearly as good as the BMCC's.

Thanks, glad you liked it! I'd love to put my cinematographic vision to use on a narrative project, but scripts and funding don't just come flying ;)

From experience with the BMCC, ProRes footage holds up quite well in low-ish light. From the demo footage I've seen of the BMPCC, it's very similar, if not the same. As far as I know, if the BMPCC initially only shoots ProRes, the dynamic range may be limited to around 11 stops. Once compressed (lossless) RAW is enabled on the BMPCC via a Firmware upgrade, 13 stops of dynamic range will be possible, just like with the BMCC.
