I shot an interview with my DVX100b yesterday, using 3-point lighting and manually white balanced the camera. White balance was achieved, though the "ND 1/8" indicator flashed at the same time, for a second, and I'm not sure what that meant. I set my zebras at 85% (my subject was African-American) and set the exposure manually so that the zebras were just barely visible on her highlights (about 5.6). In the LCD it looked great.
Now that I'm looking at the captured footage, it looks slightly yellow and her highlights look too hot. Given that the zebras weren't really visible, hardly, and the manual white balance was achieved, I'm not sure why it's too yellow and the highlights too hot. I'm attaching a brief clip.
I want to correct this before the next interview, so all help greatly appreciated--particularly around why the ND 1/8 indicator came on and what I might have done wrong. Thanks!
