Hi there! I had a question i was hoping to get some help with. I’m pretty new to videography and working with the canon c100 mark ii, so one thing im a little confused with the effects of having cinema lock on or off. I understand that by having it on you are in c-log and with the cinema profile (c9) enabled, it is the best way to get the most dynamic range. So if you are recording in cinema (c9) with cinema lock off, are you not recording in c-log?

Because I am fairly new however, i dont want to get stuck with the task of strenuous color grading in post, at least until i’m a little more familiar with the color grading process. But i also dont want to shy completely away from it, and want to still get the best cinematic (look) image as possible. So by shooting with the wide dr profile (c8), I understand that the post process will be a little easier. I’m wondering if i shoot with wide dr (c8) with cinema lock ON would be the best option. Or should i leave cinema lock OFF when shooting with wide dr (c8)??
