I still don’t get the „turning the gray scales down“ on false color. It feels like changing the sensitivity of your precalibrated color meter… why would you di that. Would you not rather keep the false color as is and change the lighting or exposure? I don’t get it.
You're not actually changing the value in which it's recorded in camera, just the reference of what you are looking at on the overlay (False Color Mode) in the monitor. What Shane is showing is really a creative choice of why you would change the grey scale, or any of the scales on the FC in the monitor. Say the camera's grey scale would be at 65-70 IRE in value, but you actually want to under-expose the grey scale of the image for creative purposes. You can then adjust the grey scale on the False Color of the monitor down to your desired value, say 50-55 IRE and then you have a quick reference you can look at when you hit the False Color function quickly on the Flanders Monitor. If you're just adjusting the lighting to the factory settings of the grey scale or any scales of the camera, you're no longer making the changes in a way that allow you to paint specifically with light. The Flanders Monitor is the only monitor that can do this with a quick function like what Shane is showing, taking just seconds to execute vs other monitors where you would have to go into deep rooted menus to setup the settings you want and then to adjust them on the fly, it still takes you some time to jump back into the menus and dig again to change the values.
@@dcweldonthanks for the explanation! So does that mean the monitor is just for reference of what you’re trying to achieve, and then adjust the camera settings separately to capture the desired colouring / lighting?
Just a heads up when you mentioned setting the grey to 25-35, you actually had it at 35-45 on the monitor
Would you choose the EL zone over IRE values, or both. Whats the best one to be using right now?

@@dcweldon thanks a lot. Seems like rating film stock at a lower or higher ISO.
