I have another question for you :) Your Zebra Values for C1 and C2 are ment to use with the gamma assits turned on, right? So in this case, the zebra values on the pure log-footage would be different, same story, when you are using the pantom luts for example, right? Can you provide, which C1 and C2 values you use for monitoring with the pantom neutral lut? thanks a lot!!

Zebras only monitor the log profile so they will show at the correct value no matter if you use gamma assist or not at 52ire. If you were to use zebras on rec709 not slog footage then light skin tones should be around 65 ire@@eike.zender

Excellent video, thanks! I'd been over-exposing 1.3 to 1.7 stops every time I shot in S-Log3, just because that's what most people say to do, but in my office set-up I'd always be struggling to bring back my highlights far enough. Exposing by eye using a monitor LUT is definitely bringing better results, will be testing out the spot metering soon though. Thanks again, great work 👊

Enjoyed this video. Always love seeing other workflows! Just a note that to get maximum dynamic range, you'd actually want to ETTR, not expose in the manner you're suggesting. Love your end look though! I was never fully happy with Phantom LUTs and ended up with Leeming LUTs as my go-to for technical conversions, which require an ETTR method to squeeze out the full range.

This was amazingly helpful! One last question I have is regarding to the differences between SLOG 2 and 3. Personally, I used to shy away from using SLOG 3 because it was my understanding that it was harder to grade and more prone to noise if not perfectly exposed. Is this something you would personally agree on, from your own experience?

Hi and thanks for your channel! A very rookie question. Would these ways of gauging exposure work on a more basic 8-bit camera like the zv-e10?

Amazing video! Thanks for making it. Love your work. One question, why does the smoke affect the multi metering when the ‘face priority in multi metering’ is on? Doesn’t that setting mean the meter will only adjust based off the exposure of the face? (Thus ignoring lighting changes around/behind the subject?). Thanks.

@jacques_crafford

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Mitchell, really appreciate your feedback! You're absolutely right, it is supposed to do that but I turned it off in this example to illustrate my point since one doesn't always have a face to expose for and too many people are preaching that simply trusting the multimeter is the way to go. I have found that when face priority in multimetering is on, the average also goes down a little bit lower because it's considering the face as midtones.

incredibly good video, thank you

In a7s3, in .slog 3, the noise comes from overdoing it or by reducing it further? To avoid noise, how much distance should be kept from this km to km and how much should be kept from this distance during day time and shut at night….

Amazing video! One question you use auto iso ? our manual ISO filming with Slog3? Thank you :D "I have A7SIII"

So you can only dial in exposure when iso is set to automatic? When I’m native iso it doesn’t allow you to manually under or over expose. ??

Thanks for this crystal clear explanation Jacques!! Pardon my beginner question but: When people say X stops over exposed, you mean turning the exposure Dial with the camera set on Shutter priority Auto? If I'm shooting in full manual, the exposure dial doesn't do anything!

@jacques_crafford

You're welcome Arnaud! Yeah if you shoot manual the EV dial isn't relevant so the X Stops referred to are either measured with the Meter or just based on IRE values.

This is a great Video, but I will be honest, I am still struggling with Exposure and using SLOG3 through to an Atomos Ninja V. Just as Famau Media has commented, I have been following the exposure to +1.7 and +2.0 and I have been having terrible results. I am a novice, I will admit, and I am trying to learn all of this as quickly as possible having purchased the A7S iii and Atomos Ninja V, when perhaps I should have started and learned the skills on lesser gear. I will admit I am falling back to using S-Cinetone to avoid missing some key recording moments in my life, especially filming my young daughter as it's so key not to miss these things, thus the reason I invested in the best Camera and Monitor. I am still not getting this right, and still have issues with using the MM and the Ninja V Zebras and False Colours (don't get me started on how much I DO NOT understand this! lol). I will keep playing your video again and again and hopefully one day will just crack this SLOG3 approach. I have the gear, I just would almost want 1:1 training in various situations, but have yet to find anyone who can provide that. thanks again for such a great Video. Onwards and upwards !!
