Light Meter

I went out and tested some "Magic Bullett" settings. Different cinematic combinations. Rolled tape. Shot in full sun. I noticed my meter ws reading 90 percent and above. Pretty blown out. Put a polarizing filter on, didn't help much. What else could I have done to bring down the light intensity? Also, if I'm shooting in 24P. Do I white balance before I put the camera in 24P or after?

Use the ND filter. Outdoors you will almost always need ND1/64.

White-balancing has no relationship to the frame rate, so you can wb before or after switching to 24p.
 
It's on the camera you can switch it between different modes, depending on how much you need to darken the image.
 
The ND filter is on the left side of the camera right next to user buttons before the lcd screen. I'ts labelled ND filter and has off and 1/8 and 1/64.

But I have no idea how you couldn't notice that.
 
Thank you

Thank you

Thanks! The camera is new..I just now trying to wrap my head around it! It;s a little intimidating.
