Specifications
@yaz72 Thanks for the settings, I loaded them on a profile and it looks more contrast-y than the ones I had been using recently. Someone posted FX9 S-Cinetone look-alike settings for the A7SIII that I further modified based on people's comments of the A7III's capabilities. See below
Black Level: -5
Gamma: Cine4
Black Gamma: Range Wide, Level +5
Knee: Mode Manual, 100%, Slope 0
Color Mode: Pro
Saturation -1
Color Phase: -1
Color Depth: R+1, G+2, B0, C+1, M+1, Y+1
Detail: Level -7
The idea is using the footage as recorded with almost no adjustments. A user said:
"I tried cine4 with knee settings on the a7 iii and indeed: all the knee settings cause clipping (in the highlights) because knee is only made for rec709 or movie gamma. If you set it lower than +5 (which means KNEE OFF) the highlights just get pulled down and clip before they reach the maximum value, you can even see it in the histogram on the display. I guess it’s the same on the A7SIII but maybe it’s different because the A7SIII has more DR in total"
I have the A7III and A7RIV with Zeiss lenses and I have no problem with skin tones. I use this custom profile when I don't want to edit in post for the A7III :
Black level : 0
Gamma : Still
Black Gamma : Range : wide, level +5
Color mode :Pro
Color Phase : -1
Color Depth : R +2, G +1, B +2, C -2, M -1, Y-2.
Note that you can recover a lot of "burned" whites with the A7III in post, white levels was oddly implemented before the A7RIV resulting in nuclear highlights all over the place with custom profiles (exept HLG and S-log).
No such thing as "bake-in" look and colors exist.
I suggest to check last Resolve color controls and learn some color manipulation things.
They got idea from http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/8783/3d-lut-creator-best-tool-for-camera-matching-and-video-grading#Item_92, so can also check it.
When talking about video, does anyone know of a good method to tweak the colors, maybe through a custom profile, so that they look closer to real life? Especially human skin. I have one of these cameras and use a custom profile, but is not quite right.
I don't necessarily mean "Canon colors" or "Fuji tones" but just good enough so that people don't look like they have a skin disease or a chronic illness. Even if tweaking "by eye", it will be good enough for me, just not sure what values to tweak. Perhaps someone has good profile settings to share?
Not really interested in log or correcting in post. I would like to bake-in the look. I mean, even my 10 year old camcorder looks better when shooting human skin in full auto.

Thanks, I'll make copy of the post in proper topic.
Wrong thread Vitaliy!
Graphite thermal interface (has superb horizontal thermal transfer, used similar to heatpipe here)
Yet thermal design has one huge flaw - one Micron chip (most probable it is DRAM BGA assembly) is mounted above main LSI, hence cooling is around 5-10x less efficient.
