My horizon stays perfect when moving sideways.Thinking of getting my P4P back to the store. Camera is great, lot of details, ... but that horizon drift when moving sideway is killing me (and the shots). Maybe in 1 or 2 months, everything will get ok and we'll have great profiles and great gimbal behavior (even I doubt on that last thing)

The cinelook is functioning exactly as it should. There is massive confusion about what increased dynamic range means. By design, it expands the range of light and darks in the subject that can be recorded to the 256 bit range that is mostly used for video (8 bits). For a subject of average luminance range it compresses it into fewer bits so that there is more space to encode the increased luminance range of the SUBJECT. This means that the average subject will be compressed in the video waveform. That is what cine setting does. It is almost identical to reducing the contrast using the contrast control.
It can easily be expanded back to a full range video with any common post processing tool.
Dlog is badly broken because it does compress the luminance range of the original subject as designed, but includes the original clipping behavior as well. This is wrong. By expanding the capture range. the resulting image should fit within the 8 bit video without being clipped. That's the whole point of expanding the range.
OK so after reading the thread I'm now convinced that D-Cinelike is either useless, or helpful
What Phantom, bitrate and resolution is this footage from?I don't agree with you all
For me, as I said earlier on my first tests, D-Cinelike keeps more infos/details in the shadows than None (but a little less on the highlights). None clips before D-Cinelike in the shadows.
An example : Video taken in Manual, at the same exposure, same parameters (0,0,0), same everything ... only changed from None to D-Cinelike. Then in Lumetri, I added +2ev. Just look how D-Cinelike keeps more details in the shadows (not that much, but it's not the same) where None shows lot of artifacts
Actually to preserve the shadows you only have to watch your histogram and make sure you do not clip the shadows; again mode itself is not affecting this much, if any.For aerials, it's generally more important for me to preserve shadows w/o adding artifacts. Sounds like d-cinelike is a little more beneficial for this purpose

If this is from your shoot with the P4P 4K @ 100mbit then I agree with you that DCinelike is preserving more shadows. Although not as much as it should. I think you may be right about it being the way to go though. I will have to test it myself tomorrow evening. Good that you stayed to your point. This doesn't change the fact that using a -contrast mode will yield nothing, though. And, as I've stated, DJI should have implemented the feature better than this.
Yes, P4P 4K h265 100Mbps. That was not on the last firmware but not sure they change D-Cinlelike between the previous firmware and the last one.
