The goal of shooting in flat is to have more freedom in color grading in post production. If you’re aware of Log profiles, most high-end DSLRs have log picture profile that produces flat colors but retains more details in the blacks and whites.
What is Cinestyle?Ĭinestyle is a picture profile that was developed by Technicolor color scientists and engineers to enhance flexibility in capturing images by shooting in a flat and de-saturated profile. When I recently switched back to Canon, I tried searching for a flat picture profile so I can get cinematic looking images for my films and I discovered Cinestyle.
