The “definitive guide” you are probably referring to is breakdown of how to actually use S-Cinetone properly on Sony cameras so it looks cinematic and not flat, crunchy, or weirdly video-ish.
Core principles teaches in that guide and related videos:
- S-Cinetone is a finished look profile, not a log profile
- Expose it slightly bright (about +0.3 to +1 stop) to keep skin clean
- Protect skin tones first, not the sky
- Do minimal grading: small contrast, tiny saturation tweaks, gentle sharpening
- It shines in fast-turnaround work: social content, weddings, corporate, talking heads
Are you shooting on an A7 series body, FX6/FX3, or something else?
