Mastering In-Camera Exposure Tools for Video
Mastering In-Camera Exposure Tools for Video
by Zack Young · Posted 06/07/2024
Whether you’re talking hue, saturation, exposure, or white balance, modern cameras can capture video in extremely flexible codecs and color spaces that give you a lot of headroom to tweak settings during post-production.

How Auto ISO Can be a Valuable Tool for Filmmakers and Videographers
by Jennifer Hahn · Posted 03/20/2020
ISO can be a sticky subject when it comes to video. It is used in photography when you have a great amount of control over your aperture, shutter, and exposure, and when you understand the lighting of your environment. But when used in video, if used too often, it can be more of an enemy than a friend to your footage. The most controversial setting is auto ISO, causing you to lose control over your ISO setting—and it can have mixed results. However, there are times when auto ISO can be your friend. What ISO Is and What It Is Not Technically,
