DVX Lighting Info

[CinematicRicky]

I'm going to be shooting a short soon on the dvxA, and I was wondering what the lux rating is. As in, I have a Sekonic L-508 Light Meter, and I want to get the right iso dialed in for measurements. Ive heard its rated at 320? Any info would be much appreciated.

Do a search, there are different opinions on this. The ISO rating can vary depending on a number of camera configuration parameters.

If you have a waveform monitor you can figure it out per camera per gamma settings by working backwards so to speak. Shoot a grey step card. Then get the X (on the waveform) perfectly aligned in the monitor so 100 IRE matches the whitest white and 0 matches the blackest black. 18% grey should fall right in the middle. Look at what Fstop your at to get the perfect X. Dial that into the lightmeter and look at what ASA it is reporting. That is the ASA of the camera.

I also have the Sekonic and I found out that it is about 680asa with the frame rate set at 24.

Pretty much matched what the camera auto exposed itself to in every shot we lit.
