In comparison, shooting with an 8-bit codec, you have 64 times less information to work with, and that's before we even take into consideration the effect of 420 subsampling and compression to 100mbps. These stills can stand up to an incredible amount of adjustment in post because there's so much information recorded. Think of it this way - when you're shooting timelapse stills, you get 14-bit RAW files with no chroma subsampling. The A7r2 records compressed 8-bit 4:2:0 footage in 4k internally, which just doesn't really stand up that well to the kind of aggressive grading you need to apply to log footage.

I would second the recommendation from /u/ChronicBurnout3 to only record slog2 when you exceed the DR of a rec709/cine picture profile.
