Free Video From RED102: Exposure

[Lliam Worthington]

Yes exactly.. There are MANY situations where I will be far more aggressive when pushing to the right, such as in a shot where my exposure does not change while shooting. Or a rehearsed shot where I know exactly how much it will peak.. But in shots where there is some movement I cannot always predict in terms of lighting, I try to give myself some headroom for safty. I love how I can push my EPIC without noise (Within reason of course) but I don't like trying to save a blown element.

Ok mate, thanks for clarifying.

Just a really nice job on this video, explains it really well Jay. You really know how to communicate and educate.

Best,
Frazier

Most people would say the "native" ISO of the camera (raw sensor) is 320, not 800. When you look at 320 ISO (at 23.98 fps in a 23.98fps timebase with 180 degree shutter) and then toggle raw view, the image's exposure is nearly identical before and after toggling. At 800 ISO the image is much brighter than the raw.

Yes Eric. A lot of people have this opinion. not everyone, but a lot.

To add one more thing, experts rarely need my videos! :) So if you are starting out, or not completely comfortable with how a RED works, it's best to start off exposing a little to the left, and move over as you improve and become more comfortable.

Sorry to disagree (a little bit), Jay! Even after 4 years of shooting RED for a living I still find your videos quite informative. It's not that they teach anything new to me, but it's the way you explain it. It makes so much easy to explain the non-initiated.

So thank you once again!

Then you might really like what's coming in the next few weeks.. We're doing a couple videos called Infotech GTS. This stands for Get The Shot.. The tutorials will be SHOT based, and then Camera Based. So you pick the shot you want, then the camera you have, and the video walks you through the entire process from setting up, lighting, camera set up, and then final in post. All the way through. This will cover the EPIC, SCARLET, and a number of other cameras as well.. We hope to start shooting these next week.

First of it's kind. Shot based, multiple camera specific tutorials... Gonna be killer

Wow, I actually really learned something from that video.

Introspectively, I thought I knew what the graphics by histogram represented, but I was dead wrong. I always thought the histogram and goal posts were tied into the same thing, and signaled clipping at the low and top end.

Thanks for the video, Jay.

I have been provided a red102 acc where I work and have been using it for almost a month now. He is a great educator of complicated things that are taught in a direct and simple way.

We just added a new video last night. I am so glad you guys like them!

Jay thanks for posting that video! I found it very helpful.

I did along the lines of what you said and when I go to 1:1 and even come out of 1:1 i'm still getting noise even in a well lit situation even when the ISO is at 400, nothing really changes as far as the noise level when I go to 800. Any advice or thoughts on this? I can't seem to not have noise in my picture. I've asked RED for help multiple times as no on I really know has been able to fix the problem, but I seem to get dropped off the radar after a few emails back and forth.

I've done Blackshading as well.
