This paper investigates the technical advantages of logarithmic (LOG) video recording on Android smartphones using the Camera2 API, focusing on dynamic range preservation and signal integrity compared to standard stock camera processing. An experimental comparison was conducted on a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, capturing identical scenes in both Rec.709 and LOG formats. The analysis combines waveform evaluation with quantitative signal-to-noise ratio measurements, including both global and local SNR to assess noise behavior across luminance levels. The results show that while stock camera processing achieves higher global SNR due to aggressive noise reduction and tone mapping, LOG recording preserves a more uniform signal distribution and greater dynamic range, providing improved flexibility for post-production workflows.
