I was personally curious as to how the Standard profile on the Sony A7C performs and with a few tweaks, I was taken by surprise. It's by far the easiest and quickest way to get great looking footage out of this camera. If this is your first camera or if you're looking for an efficient way to get a great image, then I'd suggest shooting on Standard. Even if you're shooting on SLog2, however, a few tweaks will get you a great starting point that also won't require much work.

As always, apologies for the cheeky title. The foundation of great quality footage is proper exposure I'd say so it's not completely off basis? 4K probably helps although I didn't mention that lol.
