light meter FPS setting

[bronco]

hello,

i have a gossen light meter with a cine mode that allows me to set frames per second to get an aperture value. the aperture values the meter gives apply to a 180 degrees shutter blade.

question: is this the correct mode for shooting on red at 24fps with a shutter speed of 1/48?

also, i'm setting ISO on the light meter to 320 - any thoughts?

cheers!

1/48th is the correct setting for 24fps.
I believe RED rates the sensor at 320. Others have rated it at 200. You may want to test your camera to get a rating you're happy with.

If it's any easier for you, you can choose in the Red menu to have your shutter expressed in seconds or degrees... Whichever you prefer.
