Waveform of the Xyla21 stepchart for the Panasonic LUMIX S5 at ISO 640 V-Log in UHD 25p mode. Around 12 stops can be identified above the noise floor.
IMATEST dynamic range result for the Panasonic LUMIX S5 at ISO 640 V-Log in UHD 25p mode. 12.1 stops are calculated at a signal to noise ratio of 2.
ISO 4000 / V-Log時のダイナミックレンジ
ISO 4000でも、非常に似た結果が得られた。SNR= 2で11.9ストップ。ここでも、波形は13番目と14番目のストップがノイズに埋もれている。

LUMIX S5 in UHD, V-Log, 25p, ISO 640 four stops underexposed and pushed back. Getting noisy, but the noise is very finely dispersed and can be effectively removed by noise reduction.
LUMIX S5 in UHD, V-Log, 25p, ISO 640 four stops underexposed and pushed back, noise reduction applied (3 frames temporal, threshold = 10). Again the shape of the iris of the SIGMA 45mm 1:2.8 is visible.
LUMIX S5 in UHD, V-Log, 25p ISO 640 five stops underexposed and pushed back. The image falls apart but even without noise reduction it still looks surprisingly good. Horizontal stripes appear in the image, however.
LUMIX S5 in UHD, V-Log, 25p, ISO 640 5 stops underexposed and pushed back, noise reduction applied (3 frames temporal, threshold 20, spatial threshold 2). Horizontal stripes appear in the image. But it still looks surprisingly good.
Gunther heads the CineD Lab and is responsible for our standardized camera tests: dynamic range, exposure latitude, and rolling shutter, measured under identical conditions for every camera we review. He holds a PhD in fluid mechanics and has spent over two decades in engineering leadership and R&D, a background that shapes the rigor of our test methodology. Away from the test charts, he is a passionate filmmaker who cut his teeth on the Panasonic GH series, always keeping his gear as small as possible on his travels around the world.
