Some screen shots from my ex3...

Hello Spectrumfilms!

Just wanted to let you know that I copied the whole post of you. I was looking for that information for a while, googleing the web and so on, but never found anything that compact and informative. Thank you!

I agree with you in this case. 9dB is three stops, which is the same as one ND click. I would just eliminate one ND and put the gain to 0, of course.

I was just speaking in general terms.

On bright sunny days (which I try to avoid shooting between 11am and 2pm on) using ND2 (1/64 if I am getting the number wrong) and -3dB nets me in the ideal 2.8-5.6 area. -3dB is the lowest gain setting possible on the camera and many here have said it is "true zero" for the EX1, i.e. its native gain, it doesn't degrade footage. It also reduces the your light input on those bright sunny days. Make sure your gamma is set to CINE1 or CINE2 as well (at least that's what I shoot with). CINE3 and CINE4 are for lowlight conditions.
