Camera Log Video Settings Don't Force Higher ISO

SUMMARY

When switching a camera from still photography to video mode with Log enabled, users might observe that the base ISO setting is no longer accessible. However, this does not mean that shooting video in Log format arbitrarily forces the use of higher ISO values. The camera's interface may suggest this, but it's a misconception about the actual ISO capabilities when recording in Log.

TAKEAWAYS

Log video mode doesn't force higher ISO settings.

Camera menus can be misleading regarding base ISO.

Base ISO is still available when shooting in Log.

This applies to cameras switching between stills and video.
