I recommend overexposing +1.7 inside and +1 outside for run and gun beginners and using metering mode "entire screen".
Thank you so much for this video! By far the most helpful I’ve seen on YT. Subscribed!
Glad to be of service, thanks for watching
Thank you 😊
First of all, the best name of course 🙌
Second, great video! Super clear. I'm however still not sure what would be a good option for me. I have a Sony a6400 and read different things about picture profiles. Use Slog(2?), use HLG, use Cine or don't use Slog because 8-bit? It's all a bit confusing.
Since I'm going to Japan next week, I'd like to film as well and would love to have some really nice looking shots color-wise. But I'm just not sure what would be the best way to go for me. Should I want to have to fiddle around with these settings on my trip or should I just use default profiles? Or will this look absolutely terrible when color grading/using luts in post?
Thanks!
Of course!
I haven't personally used any of the 8 bit Sony cameras, or S Log2 so I can't say for sure. But my understanding is it's not great unless you're shooting 10 bit. That's why I shot in 8 bit S-Cinetone until I got DaVinci Resolve Studio because the free version doesn't support 10 bit and I heard S-Log in 8 bit isn't great.
I feel like whatever you do, if you're still only shooting 8 bit, you're not going to be able to do a ton of grading without wrecking the image so in my opinion, you should just try to get it to look how you want in camera and only do minimal grading. You'd probably still get more dynamic range out of S-Log2 than no picture profile so if that makes a difference, you could decide to go that way.
You could also try to test as much as possible beforehand to see what works if you have time.
Hope that helps!
@@itmeremy Yea I figured slog2 would perhaps still be a bit better than shooting with no profile at all. But like you said, I might just try out a few things to make sure it looks good in camera and do some minor adjustments in post. I've only just gotten my camera and haven't had that much time to test things out. Hopefully I can do some testing the comings days, otherwise we'll just improvise along the way :) Thanks for the info!
I didn't know Davinci Resolve was also on iPad, would be nice to be able to edit and grade along the way👌
For the 8bit footage if my ZV1 I preferred using HLG2
good video, good advice. Wish there were more examples of what you're talking about, though
Totally fair, I think it would've been good go include some more BTS and example footage of each method of exposing but I tried to do it all in camera as I shot it
I think your run and gun method is the key as I have no time to start whipping out grey cards and lens caps at weddings. I will have to give zebras a shot. I've filmed a few weddings with mm1.7 method and realized pretty fast that this method is not always dependable.
Totally fair. I get there can be issues with it but I think it can kind of save the day in a fast-paced shoot like a wedding
Thank you!
So - if you set your zebra to 52 st.+Range +2 then the zebra will highlight your face? How do you know if you are clipping. I always thought the zebra is there to tell you when you are clipping …?
That is the issue with that method, in that case I think it'd be a good idea to also keep the histogram up to be able to see if you're clipping. I still mainly use zebras for clipping
I see - so you WANT zebras for the highlights on the skin in this scenario - and use the histogram for clipping … The phantom luts creator recommended this method and i was always puzzled why i want the image to be clipping - lol. Thanks a lot for clearing this up.
@@raketenrocko yeah that's pretty much it. Glad I could help
