Re: Extreme Lighting Conditions

I shoot in bright (and extremely variable) conditions all of the time with a huge Dynamic range.

Some suggestions:

-Set up a PP based on Cine1

-If you adjust Black (which is your master black) try -4. The default is +4, so -4 will pull black to a true zero.

-If you are still unable to fit the scene, and do not want to lose either end, adjust Gamma (which should really be called master white or white level) down (I have one PP set up as -5 and use it often).

-Use a Polarizer and if needed additional ND filters up front to control exposure.
