As technology improves on consumer displays, allowing higher resolutions and images to be brighter, Sony has decided to develop a Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) which will allow an “intstant HDR” workflow to allow simply shooting, editing viewing of HDR content in HLG without the need for color grading.

What’s great is this allow you to squeeze every bit of dynamic range out of your sensor to meet the next generation of HDR displays!

Initially it looks as if only Sony’s compact camcorders (the FS5 and Z150) will be equipped with the HLG recording function, but I believe it will also be coming to the Sony FS7, F5 and F55 later this year.
