Slog: Manual Exposure - Sony FS5 Quick Start Manual

SLOG: Manual Exposure
• Use the histogram when exposing SLOG
• Push all the information into the mids and highlights on the histogram.
• Keep all important information above 30 IRE (one third of the way up on
your histogram).
• Think that all your image information will be shifted towards the shadow
areas later on. So you must leave some room.
• You can overexpose by 1.5 to 2.5 stops.
• 2 Stops over seems ideal. Darker skin tone areas will be at 70 IRE, your
zebra stripe level.
• At 3 stops of overexposure you lose too much color information.
