One Week with the FS100...

i think this is good thinking for this camera. it seems to hold lots of detail in the shadows and doesn't crush it away like the 7D does. and with the noise/grain level being so low, i think saving highlights with the intention of lifting the low end in post is a smart way to shoot with this camera. just beware, that raising the black level means that it will never go below that level. meaning that if i have it set to +15, it clips at around 15IRE no matter how dark my image gets. so if you are exposing for the highlights and you have your blacks set up that high, then you will be compressing all of your mids and shadows into a very small range. eventually, in most cases, you will want to bring that bottom end down so that you end up with true black. when you do, the mids will come down with it. i think the key is finding the best setting that will spread the lows and mids out as much as possible when underexposing to save highlights.

Yeah, there is going to be a lot of tweaking to get the look we each find is right for us. Ain't this FUN!!! It is great days!
