Hey all. I went downtown last weekend and shot some test footage with my HPX170. I'm hoping to get some feedback about the image quality, composition, etc.

This was my first time going out and really shooting with it. I have a Redrock M2 attached. Some of the focus is a little soft, cuz the battery to my field monitor died about 2 seconds after i turned it on, so it was hard to see.
I'd love some feedback on the exposure. That seems to be the hardest thing to get right. I'm using auto iris to get in the ballpark, then going manual from there. I have my shutter speed at 1/60 on every shot, and try to keep the fstop at around 4.8 per the advice from the guy I bought the camera from. Then I mostly just adjust the fstop on the lens to get it where I want it.
i'll pump up the NDFilter on really bright shots as well, but it's pretty rare.
Oh and I'm using a Nikon 85mm f1.8 prime lens.
So yeah, any advice on other setting I can use, or how to properly use the settings i've mentioned here would be awesome. Thanks for taking the time to read this novel!
