Hey everybody!

Lately, I installed the Technicolor Cinestyle on my 550D to have a flat picture with more details, so I could do some postprocessing afterwards.

What I find now is that the Cinestyle apparently does not affect the RAW-recordings I make. Nor does the white balance as it seems. I made a picture in manual mode, looks all flat and containing the details I want.

Then I recorded a short sequence in RAW-Mode, converted to a TIFF sequence and I got steep curves and all, and even the camera's white balance doesn't seem to affect the picture.

Is this because in RAW-mode the sensor data gets instantly written to the memory card without touching it in the camera's processor? Because then the cinestyle and all would only be useful for H.264 recording, which is exactly what I am trying to get away from. I would love to have flat curves in a 14 Bit TIFF sequence, because that is what today's cinema is made with.

Anyone here with experience in that field? Would be grateful for an advice if I have to give up on this or I just need to change something. :/

You'll find a heap of log curves and such in this very section if you look for them!

Aahaaaaa...!
Log-curves was the term I was not able to find with google. Thanks a lot again! :)
