Nikon's logarithmic gamma curve for cinema-oriented video recording.
Definition
N-Log is Nikon's proprietary log curve for video production, introduced with the Z6/Z7 series. It optimizes dynamic range for post-production flexibility.
Practical Application
Nikon filmmakers utilize N-Log for projects requiring extensive grading. HDMI output is necessary for N-Log on most cameras. ProRes Raw via Atomos recorders serves as an alternative.
Technical Details
12 stops of dynamic range. Available only via external HDMI recorder in 10-bit. Internal recording is limited to some models. Nikon provides official LUTs for Rec.709 conversion.
