Hi, first can I say what a usefull site this is - you all have fantastic dedication. Can I ask if the custom presets in the library are exposure related? I have probably got it wrong but having seen reccomendations for zebra at 75-100 % and gain from -3 to 0 as a starting point I thought they may be.
I also spotted a point in the check list for a workflow that suggested a white balance setup by a general manual exposure.Is this a normal practice? Michael

Hi Micheal, Your question is very broad but here are my 2cents for you. The custom presets are collection of looks and they are not exposure related. You have to control the exposure. I also suggest to read the manual and buy a book or DVD on videophotography and then things will be aiight. (*__*)
