New York City, NY (April 18, 2011) Next Level Pictures in association with Tstop Cinema teamed
up with Abel Cine, Kessler Crane, Wide Open Camera, Angenieux, Carl Zeiss, Cooke, Tyler
Mounts, and Miller to unveil the worlds first ever camera test using the Sony F3 with S-Log. SLog isn’t scheduled for official release until late summer 2011 so we are proud to get our hands
on the camera and put it through several latitude tests to include helicopter aerials by Vincent
Laforet, vibrant Vegas city lights, and skin tone tests of two models in ten different locations
throughout Las Vegas at NAB 2011. The crew of twelve had only ten hours with the camera to
produce and film the entire project. The purpose of this test is to compare the latitude and image
quality of the new S-Log firmware to native EX codec.
