burned-out faces

[Ethan Turpin]

A couple times now I've looked at footage after the fact and found that the highlights on some people shot outdoors are way to hot. Some of this I've intensionally overexposed a little, but this just looks weird, like a posterized effect/glow. ANy ideas?

Any experience with that flesh tone scene file?

I may have accidently had the gain on medium in one case. This was with 30p.

I also don't remember seeing zebras on her face as a warning. Should I turn them up?

Thanks!

Bright spots on the face should trigger the 80% zebras as in highlights on the forehead etc. so i would set zebra1 to 80% to gauge overall exposure of the face and zebra2 to 100% to check for any overexposure
