OK I’ve only watched videos but they’re TERRIFIC! You don’t waste my time you just come with the facts in a clear and entertaining way. Got my subscription.🤘
OMG!!!! FINALLY FINALLY I HAVE FOUND IT!!! an intuitive video showing hands on real life "HOW TO"....I kid you not I felt sleep watching Gerald Undone not to mentioned that other videos would just glaze over the same info....THANK YOU. THUMPS UP and new Sub!
This is so informative. And I like that you don’t get too technical for us folks who are just getting into this stuff. This gives me a great starting point and I can run with it and learn through experience. Just what I need! Thank you and keep up the great work! I can’t wait to get my A7C out there and get some footage!
I can't wait to see your videos when you get it!! I wish you could just tag me when you post it. I'm already subscribed to your channel, but just in case I don't get the notification!
Bravo 👏🏻 I wish more people just explained it so simple and easy like this. Yes, you can go way more technical to this, but most of us will never use it for anything other than on the fly adjustments. Thank you for this. Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴
I’m so glad what I taught made sense! That’s exactly what I try to do - just focus on the practical aspects so that it’s easy to understand and use, so I really appreciate the feedback. Let me know if there’s anything else you want to know about!
This was so great explaining this to me. Thank you. I’m planning on getting a canon r6 mkII and I know with clog3 it has an extra stop of range so it’s recommended to set the zebra to 40% to match -18 gray for that clog. Love how you explain the happy medium too 65
Thank you so much. I needed to hear that, because I’ve been second guessing all of them and had kind of lost momentum which is why I haven’t made one in a while. I guess I’ll have to start making them again!

@@NotThatRyanReynolds as a RU-vidr myself, I totally get what you’re saying. But hey, it’s RU-vid. It will always be the effing momentum. I kinda let that out of my mind recently when I realized, as long as one person in this world watch only one clip of mine and found just one information that’s useful/helpful. Then I am doing something GOOD and RIGHT. And you did it to me! So keep sharing That Ryan 🥰
That’s kind of there I’m at! Feel like there’s pressure to keep some kind of schedule, but I think I’m just going to post when I have something important to share and stop trying to make things up that may or may not be helpful. Thanks again for the pep talk!!
This was a delightful and informative video. I've never used the custom zebra setting on my camera for skin tones (or familiarized myself with Ansel Adam's chart), so dialing in the 65 +/-5 custom setting was a new adventure for me. Since I'm largely videoing people, in interviews and in general, your suggestion is going to come in handy. Thanks for your charming and cheeky approach to this helpful topic. Keep up the good work!
ahahahah I love your vídeos, you always make me laugh! One question, if you don't mind... At 3:45 if you take a photo of that scene but with a person in it looking at you, how would you set the zebras to? +-70% for the skin and maybe blow up the sky or +-106 to the highlights in the sky and underexpose the person's skin tones? TIA
Love the creative & entertaining editing & content. Your like a little expert that just popped up on my timeline… thx YT! I have the A7C & A7S3… I want ZV-1 as well. I’m learning the basics still, I only use A7C as my dedicated Stream cam as I primarily do game streams, but I want to change the direction of my channel for Vlog style & tech & gear tutorials instead.
Thanks so much! I’ve never been called an expert before 😆 it feels nice! I love the ZV-1. Look for an open box at Best Buy - it will save you a ton of money! Your channel idea sounds great! I would definitely watch!!
thanks! makes sense for portrait, but / so / i am confused. so if you set zebras (level?) to 65 (%?) +-5 (%?), does that mean that zebras will APPEAR BETWEEN 60 and 70 (percent irl value?) to let you know that an area is PERFECT - as opposed to blown-out?!?!?!!?? That hurts my brain. ... But when you set them high like 90%, the camera magically knows that that means blown-out highlights? So I've been setting my [zebra levels?] to 70 bc a portrait phtgphr told me to, but I'm taking night landscapes and wrongly assuming that the zebras mean blown-out highlights but it just means "This area is a 70% ir-whatever value? Ouch halp! I am so missing something crucial! What am I missing ? This has been making my brain ache sorely for months
Problem is that ZEBRAS DO lie if you are using a display LUT or gamma assist etc etc. That's why, NEVER use these "assist" tools because they mess you up unless you're using FX6 or FX9 where the Zebras go from the actual IRE rather than the Display IRE.
Just filmed an archery tournament and used these kinda wrong. Had them set to 100 and made some shots too dark. I was using an nd filter to lower the light
What impact is on skin tones when underexosing, with A7iii? I like to expose in "middle" for highlights keeping as much information as possible but not underexpose too much, and Im able to bring exposure up in lightroom.
if you set the Zebras to 65 and they do not appear on the face then either you are underexposed or overexposed thats how you would nknow. If you want to make sure it is blown out then set the Zebras to 100 and see if they appear on the face then it is blown out.
Hi! Thx for this video, I have a ZV-E10 and I want to shoot in RAW outside. I setted the Zebras to 100. So basically when I see on the screen I just have to modify the F-stop to get rid of them right? Cuz sometimes I see zebras on my model that I wanna photograph.
I’m so sorry - should have showed it on the screen 🤦🏻 on my camera there’s an area where you can customize the setting. It lets you choose your level and then you can specify if it’s everything up to that level, above, or “around” it. So 65 +- 5 would include 60,65 & 70. Honestly, since making the video, I’ve gotten lazy and stopped getting super custom. I pretty much use 70 most of the time. And yes, you can apply this method to your LUMIX and it should work the same!
