[@FlorianFrickel]

How do you feel about using the zebra setting ?! Do you use it ?

Thanks for the tips Florian. I tried using the zebra setting at one point but it kept distracting me lol. I just try to keep my eye on WB a lot to make sure its not swaying too much in either direction and keep it as close as possible to 0 while toggling SS/ISO. I liked your video and subscribed to your channel!

[@FlorianFrickel]

Yea I know what you mean with the zebra settings, I got used to it by now and it’s pretty easy to use as well. Thanks mate appreciate your support

Hi, interesting video. It's confusing because a lot of people advocate overexposing in F log by a stop or two. I suppose each situation is different

[@FlorianFrickel]

Hi mate. For sure each situation will be different and the subject you shoot will matter. As an example if you want to expose for you face as an example and got a bright background technically your meter will overexpose to give your face the right exposure. So yea definitely situation related. But on average I found the flog from Fuji alright to expose and never needed to over expose by two stops or so

[@dazzdeadmeadow]

@@FlorianFrickel I think I'm going to have to practice a fair bit with F Log. I'm fairly new to the XT4 and trying to the get the most cinematic footage I can out of it and also messing about with settings for shooting property. Thanks for the video

[@FlorianFrickel]

@@dazzdeadmeadow to make exposure for f-log easier you can switch on f-log view assist you record f-log footage and need to colour grade it however the lcd will show you a duplicate of rec709 or exposure reference

[@dazzdeadmeadow]

@@FlorianFrickel Yeah, I have that setting on. For property stuff I will probably use a film simulation. I shoot (or try to) landscape and nature stuff, I'm just trying to get that looking as cinematic as possible. I think I might end up getting Filmconvert

[@FlorianFrickel]

@@dazzdeadmeadow a lot of things also comes down to your story telling the flow of the video etc.. I’m sure you will figure it out what works best for you 👍

[@r.a.mpictures]

So don't overexpose by 1 stop?

[@FlorianFrickel]

I found that the original f-log was best exposed correctly without over or under exposing.
