D-Log works with 15 dynamic range steps (2 steps wider than the Zenmuse X5S). The X7 stores image details in both dark and light areas, which increases editing capabilities.
D-Gamut captures the entire DCI-P3 color space, traditionally used when filming. D-Gamut is created for shooting video and photos from the drone and covers a larger field of green tones, providing a beautiful gradation of green in the pictures.
In addition, D-Gamut presents skin tone smoothing: tones are distributed to the most appropriate color zones, giving the skin a beautiful natural color. When using the 3D-LUT color management technology, you can smoothly change skin tones even with large differences in exposure.
