What view mode are you using to set lights?

[Ramesh Jai]

Could you kindly tell me what view mode you are using to set your lights - RAW, Redspace or REC709 and if possible why. Thanks

I think you mean REDspace, not REDcine

Oops! You are right.

You can learn different things from each one.

ViewRAW is my personal preference as less chroma makes it easier for me to judge density, falloff, etc.
Rec709 view is nice for looking at a larger outboard video monitor that is itself calibrated to rec709. Its not true WYSIWYG like some cams but it is a good reference point.
If I have time I also look at RedSpace in search of unwanted color casts since the chroma is more prominent.

Of course my favorite for lighting set ups is false color on viewRAW :ihih:

many of us "see" with our meters. i rough everything in with the meter so basically what unit is used and where it is set is not determined by any image per se. prefer to tweek in raw.

Why do I think that Redspace is the way to go - it's closer to the end look than RAW view. So if I protect my highlights in Redspace, I will actually have more room to play with in post.
