Have you made any of these mistakes? What was your the useful tip for you???

[terryhope]

Best advice I was given - if you want a scene to look dark, make sure there is something bright in it. That's how our brain and eye combination works - contrast. It can be very small, an exit sign or a tiny window with moonlight. It is the contrast that makes the rest of the scene look dark while keeping the detail and not turning it to a flat mush.

Excellent video as always. Easy to understand which is what I need

love the a4 mid grey chart explanation prop

Thank you for this super helpful video! Especially the part about exposing for what you can't control and using an ND filter inside to get the exposure correct.
Stoked to see your upcoming video about false color. I just got a monitor and am blown away by how helpful it is. Should have gotten it ages ago.

Solid advice. To add another exposure mistake that I've personally had to learn from, is understand your camera's bases ISOs for the dual stages. Not sure if this is the same across all camera brands, but for the Lumix S5 users the base ISOs for the dual stages differ depending on your color profile. For instance, I often shoot weddings in 8-bit CineD2 to keep editing quick and snappy. In this case the base ISOs are 200 and 1250 in CineD instead of 640/4000 in VLOG.

I just use my Sony lens cap as a grey card!

[PaulKentSkates]

If you happen to have a huge roll of ND film that you found in a dumpster behind a production company, you can use a sheet of ND on your windows too. ;)

Yes finally someone who gets it, expose your subject to 0. If you're not lighting your subject properly, noth else matters.

The Lumix spot metering is the ducks!

HI.. you are one of person who help me to make my dission to get a lumix s 5 and thank you for that . btw I have .got an issue with my Panasonic S5 IIx. When I take a picture it turns out completely pitch black i tried every format like raw and jpeg also changed everything including iso, shutter speed and exposure . also try it with card format and camera reset. But there is no hope. but there is no issue with the video, it is working fine as it was.
I live in Bangladesh . There is no lumix support center. so i don't have any idea what to do...

[eliecergonzalez]

Excellent video SAM!! Could you please tell me how accurate is the middle grey of the grey card compared to the middle grey of the calibrate Color checker ?

[Linkghirahim]

Your videos are really REALLY helpful and educational. You're one of the best I've found on youtube yet. Keep up man, you're fucking fantastic 🤟

[simoz]

Do you have any suggestions for a multicam setup where there is no time to manually set WB and exposure? Also the cams move around the scene a lot and always end up with very different footages even within the same camera angle due to the auto settings.

[HiethGeorge]

Love my grey card and the multi exposure gadget on the Lumix and the dual Native ISO makes life so much easier

[norfolknonsense]
