    This was so great explaining this to me. Thank you. I’m planning on getting a canon r6 mkII and I know with clog3 it has an extra stop of range so it’s recommended to set the zebra to 40% to match -18 gray for that clog. Love how you explain the happy medium too 65

    •  2 года назад

      @@NotThatRyanReynolds as a RUclipsr myself, I totally get what you’re saying. But hey, it’s RUclips. It will always be the effing momentum. I kinda let that out of my mind recently when I realized, as long as one person in this world watch only one clip of mine and found just one information that’s useful/helpful. Then I am doing something GOOD and RIGHT.
      And you did it to me! So keep sharing That Ryan 🥰

    This was a delightful and informative video. I've never used the custom zebra setting on my camera for skin tones (or familiarized myself with Ansel Adam's chart), so dialing in the 65 +/-5 custom setting was a new adventure for me. Since I'm largely videoing people, in interviews and in general, your suggestion is going to come in handy. Thanks for your charming and cheeky approach to this helpful topic. Keep up the good work!

    ahahahah I love your vídeos, you always make me laugh! One question, if you don't mind... At 3:45 if you take a photo of that scene but with a person in it looking at you, how would you set the zebras to? +-70% for the skin and maybe blow up the sky or +-106 to the highlights in the sky and underexpose the person's skin tones? TIA

    What impact is on skin tones when underexosing, with A7iii?
    I like to expose in "middle" for highlights keeping as much information as possible but not underexpose too much, and Im able to bring exposure up in lightroom.

I’m learning the basics still, I only use A7C as my dedicated Stream cam as I primarily do game streams, but I want to change the direction of my channel for Vlog style & tech & gear tutorials instead.

  • @glimmerscribble
    @glimmerscribble Год назад

    thanks! makes sense for portrait, but / so / i am confused. so if you set zebras (level?) to 65 (%?) +-5 (%?), does that mean that zebras will APPEAR BETWEEN 60 and 70 (percent irl value?) to let you know that an area is PERFECT - as opposed to blown-out?!?!?!!?? That hurts my brain. ...
    But when you set them high like 90%, the camera magically knows that that means blown-out highlights? So I've been setting my [zebra levels?] to 70 bc a portrait phtgphr told me to, but I'm taking night landscapes and wrongly assuming that the zebras mean blown-out highlights but it just means "This area is a 70% ir-whatever value? Ouch halp! I am so missing something crucial!
    What am I missing ? This has been making my brain ache sorely for months

    • @dathofilms
      @dathofilms 2 года назад

      if you set the Zebras to 65 and they do not appear on the face then either you are underexposed or overexposed thats how you would nknow. If you want to make sure it is blown out then set the Zebras to 100 and see if they appear on the face then it is blown out.
