Also a quick comment on the "pulling back the iso one click" if you are using the base iso of 800 and 12800, Sony fx3) and you are utilizing an ND filter you don't have to touch the iso if you use your filter to bring down the zebras. I've learned so much from this video. Thank you!

Thanks Sean. This is right up there with the best sLog exposure videos I've seen. I've noticed that on my A74 you can approximate the "Cine EI" technique (which is incorporated into my FX6) by "overexposing" and "underexposing" your sensor to favor the dynamic range of shadows and highlights differently, depending on the direction of exposure compensation. Your sLog info is right down the middle, which is proving to be the perfect place for me to start when determining exposure. Thanks again, and extra gratitude for making the chart available to us!

Overall a good video. A couple minor corrections. 1: every gamma curve uses different zebra values, not just slog3. 2: the histogram is AWESOME when used with zebras. Lets you easily ETTR (expose to the right), which a good thing. When you do that you're capturing more data in the top end frequencies, which REQUIRE more data. The histogram should never "pile up" at either end if possible. When you use it in tandem with zebras as a safety, is SUPER fast to get a great exposure, because you can see the histogram move left or right as you shift exposure in real time. Zebras have your back. If you're run and gun, instead of setting zebras differently for skin, etc, you leave zebras at 94+ (for slog3), and expose as bright as you can up until the BRIGHTEST THING IN THE FRAME THAT YOU WANT TO RETAIN DETAIL IN shows zebras. Remember, sometimes it's normal and perfectly fine to let things clip. By doing this you not only retain highlights, but you keep a LOT more flexibility and dynamic range down in the shadows. Much better to pull things down than push them up. Good video, keep up the good work, brutha!

@@LS-is5ob that's where you use zebras to keep the brightest thing that you CARE ABOUT to not blow out. Simple. Re-read what I described above. There are stills some times where you will want to set custom zebras, but I rarely need to with the technique I'm describing. ETTR is your friend because the high end contains more data. You should NEVER use the MM display. All cameras have a finite dynamic range, you just have to pick your battles.

Thanks for your vids; I'm new to Sony and the ZVE1 and they have been helpful. Two questions on how you manage exposure for SLog3.... 1) How do you approach a shot that doesn't have any stark white; say you are shooting a fence or something. Do you still push it to 94, then back off a click and then reduce it to suit your tastes in post; or do you eyeball the brightest object and guess/estimate the IRE and convert it to a SLog3 equivalent. I know you can pull out grey cards and all that; but what do you do in real life when you have time pressure; say shooting non-repeatable scenes and you have to get it in the can one take and at the speed of life? 2) When filming scenes that have significant shifts in lighting; say walking through a yard with shadows, following a person from a lit room onto a dark patio.... How do you manage setting exposure accurately and smoothly in a continuous shots when the scene is changing with smooth changes?

For photos, I use spot metering + focus point link to identify exposure (usually to see if a specific spot is clipped). That would allow you to identify the exposure of a specific spot just like zebras.

Sean...I don't shoot video very often so I tend to forget where I have my settings. I was doing a shoot mid-day sun and we decided to do some video, I shot in S-Log3. I had my Zebras set to 56+\- 3 (unknowingly, I adjusted my VND accordingly). I had forgotten that this is the setting for skin tones, but I adjusted it to not clip the sky (94+). Of course, the video was underexposed. However, it actually turned out fine when I fixed the exposure in post. One thing that I really cool that I don't hear a lot of people talk about with the newer Sony's (i.e. A7iv and newer) is Flexible Exposure Mode. This is a great run & gun tool.
