Thanks for watching and the kind words! 🙏

Thanks. I think you did a really great job explaining this at a level that easily understood by all. Now if you really want to geek out, some cameras have two different gain circuits. So, some trial an error will need to be done to figure out the sweet spot depending on if you're over the first gain circuit.

[@andrewgfarmer]

Yeah, for sure. There’s a number of dual gain sensors, which I personally love. Gives a ton of flexibility.

Great video, only wondered about underexposing then upping the exposure later on to reduce iso, guess that won't be happening. Thanks man!

[@andrewgfarmer]

Yeah, it’s a common misconception. I always try to test my cameras to see how far under exposed the image can get before it’s unusable. That way I know the limitations.

Great video! Straight to the point, no BS. Like it

First comment ever on youtube in my 15 years of using it. Hello andrew very useful video. I have got a question. Is it better to go one stop above zero on the exposure meter when shooting log or keep it zero? I did a shoot yesterday and everything seemed okay while shooting it but when i did my edits i could see tons of edit. I was using sony fx 30 and using cine ei mode. Cheers

[@andrewgfarmer]

I feel honored to have your first comment 😆. Ok I usually try to expose my image on zero no matter what. And I especially try to have my camera on or near its native ISO. So for the FX30 that would be 800 or 2500. That will give the lowest noise profile. I don’t use Cine EI unless I’m in a studio where I can adjust lighting, because it tries to keep the ISO at a fixed level, and I usually want more flexibility than that. Remember when using LOG you’ll need to make sure to bring the image back to rec709 color space to make sure it has enough contrast and saturation. And even then you might want add more for the “look”. You also might need to add noise reduction in post if there’s too much noise. Hope that helps a bit, if not feel free to clarify a bit more and I’ll see if I can help.

@@andrewgfarmer Thank you, Andrew. I will implement these and see how it goes. I’ll first try to switch from Cine EI to flexible iso and see if that makes a difference. Cheers

@@andrewgfarmer Can you please make a review of the Canon EOS RP with 50mm f1.8 EF lens? Possibly with pictures

@@thedoctor0892 I don't have a Canon RP, but here is a good video with that exact pairing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJvPk3d5jZ2fl7c

can you give me any general tips for getting a sharp photo? i recently was given a canon 450d from a friend and want to get into photography

[@andrewgfarmer]

Well sharpness is affected by many things. The Canon 450d is only 12 megapixels, so it will lack some sharpness compared to newer sensors that are 24 or more megapixels. Then you need a lens that is sharp. Typically prime lenses (not zoom) will be sharper. Then you obviously have to make sure that you have your subject in perfect focus to get the best sharpness out of your image. One other thing that can negatively affect your sharpness is having too much grain or noise in your image. So trying to keep that to a minimum will help.
