I am going to do a shoot for a hdr tv. I could shoot v-log, but I want to keep it simple and just shoot hlg. I am curious about exposing it. What ire should I hit for skin tones and for white? This is what I know about Sony (I am curious if Panasonic is the same):
Exposure levels: If you want to get footage that works both with an HLG HDR TV and a SDR 709 TV then you need to expose carefully. A small bit of over exposure wont hurt the image when you view it on a 709 TV or monitor, so it will look OK in the viewfinder. But on an HDR TV any over exposure could result in skin tones that look much too bright and an image that is unpleasantly bright. As a guide you should expose diffuse 90% white (a white card or white piece of paper) at no more than 75%. Skin tones should be around 55 to 60%. You should not expose HLG as brightly as you do Rec-709
