How can I replicate C-LOG in a Canon DSLR?

Question

I shoot almost all my video footage on Canon DSLRs (APS-C sensors if this makes any difference). I know that true C-LOG isn't available on DSLRs and I've seen many sites that claim to sell "C-LOG" profiles however my understanding is that these are just custom presets.So:a) Is there actually any difference between these "C-LOG" profiles online and me just changing the settings in-camera?b) Is this actually the best way to get the most amount of data out of my Canon DSLRs?I know about "Exposing to the right" for example, but should this be used in conjunction with other settings?

Answer 1

There is no difference than what you mentioned in regards to C-Log, Any log format not natively implemented into the camera is just a change of those settings. Panasonic for example is known to charge for their v log but with that being an actual firmware add on-it adds that profile onto the camera whereas for this canon they would be changing your settings on the existing profile to a more flat look.
