Cameras automatically apply non-linear transformations to the sensor data, allowing for perceptually-uniform quantization suited to standard dynamic range displays in dim conditions. In the cinema industry, data is recorded in raw (linear) format and non-linearly corrected in post-production by a skilled technician who optimizes image appearance for cinema (dark) conditions.

A digital editor provides the timeline control necessary to tell a story through film.
