Before settling on these two I watched a lot of videos on how to expose S-Log 3. Since we film Hannis Documentary on the weekend I thought it was a good idea to freshen up on this topic. Those two videos were very thorough on the topic. Good bye to the days of always exposing up to +1.7. The videos were very detailed on when to overexpose and when to expose for skin tones and when to use which metering mode and when and to what extend to use the zebra and of course when to use (which is basically always) use false colour. A lot of the Information was of course familiar but there were bits and pieces that were new. After that I also freshened up on when to use which focus speeds for smooth transitions for each PAL Framerate. After that I checked up on the best codec settings for the camera, before getting inspiration on possible Custom Button layouts. I have to say, people make interesting choices when it comes to custom button layouts. But since preferences seem to very different some of those layouts were straight up lunacy for me, but whatever works for people I guess. Whenever I watch videos like this I always learn new things but also there is often stuff missing that I know. Maybe sometime I will start my own YouTube tutorial series with a specific focus on wildlife. Time will tell.
