The AF100 is a motion picture camera with a sensor close in size to 35MM film; if you are going for the same look, here's what you need to do:
1. Set the camera to 24fps with a 180° shutter (1/48 second). This will give you the most pleasing motion blur that is exactly like a film camera running a sync speed.
2. Set your ASA to 400; as far as I can tell, that's the native ASA and will achieve the cleanest image. Don't change this unless you absolutely must and vary from it by the minimum necessary.
3. DO NOT try to control exposure with the shutter, frame-rate, or ASA. Use the filter wheel. If you are under conditions too bright for the number 4 setting, add a filter to the Matte Box or on the lens. If it's too dark and you can't raise the lighting level, you can have a go at raising the ASA, but at a cost in image quality.
The iris should be set to achieve the DOF that focuses or blurs what you wish your viewer to see, never, never, never to control exposure.
Good shooting and best regards,
