This is a Technical post, gadgety and informative. I've got two XD-cam F335's that I use and I refer back to this video and a few others often to make sure I'm using the best possible settings for every scenario. The phrase "fix it in post" is the worst thing you can say around me or anyone I work with. Do it right the first time and it will be better in the end, not to mention easier. Thats not to say post doesn't have its place. The Cine like 1, 3, and 4 for example capture the highlights up to 109 IRE which means you NEED to put it through colour correction to bring it back to broadcast standards in the highlights. This allows for more detail in the shadows and an overall higher dynamic range. I've referred to this on set when asked about my exposure of the darks and said the words "We'l adjust it in post". NOT the same as fix it in post, rather its shooting FOR post. If its a run and gun shoot and a quick edit i'l either use cine 2 gamma or one of the std gammas ,depending on the shooting scenario, so that if there is no colour grading the footage is still within legal broadcast limits.
