Hi,
I'm pretty new to filming with my Sony A6300 (photography in general too) and try to figure out how to expose S-Log2 properly (I think I read like 100 posts about it by now).
The question I can't seem to answer is the following:
Situation:
- I mostly film in very bright outside situations or with dim light like in an open market hall
- S-Log2
- I'd like to overexpose by ~2 steps
- Manual shutter and aperture
- Auto ISO (800-25600, default for S-Log2)
- Variable ND Filter
- Zebra 83+
This is how I approach it and I need feedback:
I put my 'Exposure Comp.' in the settings to +2.0, put the var. ND to the lowest setting. Then I point to my scene and turn the variable ND darker until I see my Zebra for 'white'.
Question:
Auto ISO will increase my ISO as I turn the ND Filter to compensate I think / feel, therefor maybe(?) using higher ISO than necessary. Or is this compensated with the 'Exposure Comp.' setting? (or should I do manual ISO too?)
Basically: Should I change settings or am I doing everything correct?
I appreciate every feedback I can get and I know that in a lot of shoots I might not need S-Log2, but I'd like to at least know how to use it when I need it.
