Video Description

In this week's video, we're talking about using a flexible tool to help you judge exposure in mirrorless cameras: Zebras. Originally a videographer's tool, many photographers don't think to use them for still images, but they can be used to great effect alongside your histogram. We'll cover why they're useful, how to set them up for both videography and photography scenarios, and I even cover some interesting Sony zebra settings information specifically for photographers that shoot raw images on Sony Alpha cameras.
