  1. Hey! Some friends and me tried to expose log with an 18% gray card. We used a canon c300 mk2 with the c.log 3 cinema gamut picture profile. Canon gives the following IRE values for c.log3: 18% Gray → 34,3% | 90% White → 56.4% But before we tried to use canons values we tried to replicate this workflow to derive the values: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZb3u220EwU So we set our camera and seconic light meter to 800 ISO and used the spot meter right next to the camera on the 18% Gray chart. We got a value of F 5.68. Our next step was to set the lens to a F-stop of nearly F 5.68. The waveform gave us a value of 26%. This is not only a big difference to 34,3%, the value of canon, the picture was clearly underexposed. :huh: Of course, we asked us what our mistake was. Was it the fault of the video? Is our gray card not standardized? Is our light meter broken? Is a F 5.68 not a F 5.68 on the lens we used, maybe its broken? Is the camera screwing us? Then we stumbled over this article: http://bythom.com/graycards.htm The author, Thom Hogan, tells us that cameras don't see 18% gray. Instead they see 12% gray. This article confused us a lot. We don't know what to think about light metering. :unsure: What is true and what is a myth? What do you think about all this? Are you noticing a mistake we made? How is your workflow for exposing log gamma curves? Do you use a gray card, a light meter, ETTR (expose to the right)? Do you use a Bt.709 LUT on your monitor/viewfinder and expose just with that? And do you understand the 12% gray article and do you think it's true/false? Thank you for your help! :) Levin Liebig
