概要

TLDRIn this quick tutorial, Paul Hemming explains the ETTL (Expose To The Right) technique for achieving proper camera exposure using his Panasonic camera. He highlights the importance of focusing on zebras, which indicate overexposure in certain areas of a shot. Paul advises to open the iris until the zebras disappear from skin tones, ensuring optimal exposure without blown-out highlights. Additionally, he emphasizes the role of white balance for accurate color representation and mentions that proper lighting is crucial when shooting in low-light situations. Overall, the ETTL method is a straightforward approach to maximizing dynamic range.

  • 🎥 ETTL stands for Expose To The Right.
  • 📏 Use zebras to identify overexposed areas.
  • 🌈 Set white balance for accurate colors.
  • 📉 Avoid zebras on skin tones for optimal exposure.
  • 💡 For low-light, increase exposure with lights or ISO.

    In this quick tutorial, Paul Hemming from Leeming Luck Pro explains how to use the ETTL (Exposure to the Right) technique for optimal exposure in photography. He demonstrates using the zebra stripes on the camera to identify overexposure, emphasizing the importance of reducing the iris until the zebras disappear, ensuring that no important skin tones are blown out. Paul notes that adjusting the white balance is crucial for balanced RGB channels. He also advises using lighting appropriately when shooting in low light conditions to maintain proper exposure, reiterating the significance of relying on zebras instead of the exposure meter for accurate results, ultimately aiming for maximum dynamic range.

ビデオQ&A

  • What does ETTL stand for?

    ETTL stands for Expose To The Right, a technique for achieving optimal exposure.

  • Why should I look for zebras in my shots?

    Zebras indicate overexposed areas, helping to ensure skin tones and important elements aren't blown out.

  • What is the importance of white balance?

    Setting white balance ensures RGB channels are equally weighted for accurate colors and dynamic range.

  • Can I use this method in low-light conditions?

    Yes, but you'll need to increase exposure using lights or higher ISO settings.

  • What should I avoid while setting exposure?

    You should avoid having zebras on skin tones, as it indicates overexposure.

    hi guys Paul hemming here from Leeming
  • 00:00:07
    luck Pro I'm just going to do a quick
  • 00:00:09
    and dirty ett our tutorial it won't take
  • 00:00:11
    long and this is just a rough and ready
  • 00:00:13
    one just so I can get something out
  • 00:00:16
    there before I do a more detailed
  • 00:00:18
    version later ok so ET TI exposed to the
  • 00:00:21
    right is really simple I'm going to do
  • 00:00:23
    it in about 60 seconds or less
  • 00:00:25
    right now I am ET TR and as you can see
  • 00:00:29
    on the screen the image is I'm using
  • 00:00:33
    v-log here on the Panasonic and it's
  • 00:00:35
    flat but notice how the exposure meter
  • 00:00:37
    says + 2 + 2 and a half but there are no
  • 00:00:40
    zebras on screen this is the ETTL
  • 00:00:42
    position for this shot so what is ett
  • 00:00:45
    Alex look for the zebras wow there's the
  • 00:00:47
    zebras
  • 00:00:48
    okay so obviously this is hot and
  • 00:00:50
    overexposed and not useable some
  • 00:00:52
    pictures so what we want to do to use
  • 00:00:54
    the separates is ignore that little
  • 00:00:56
    meter down the bottom and rotate our
  • 00:00:59
    iris until the zebras in the shot just
  • 00:01:03
    disappear okay and that is our ett our
  • 00:01:07
    position now notice how it's + - if you
  • 00:01:11
    continue down to where it says 0 which
  • 00:01:14
    is about there look how dark that image
  • 00:01:17
    is what you've done is kill about two
  • 00:01:19
    stops of highlight range and increase
  • 00:01:22
    your shadow noise by two stops not
  • 00:01:24
    neither of what you really want so what
  • 00:01:26
    we want to do is instead of looking at
  • 00:01:28
    that exposure meter down the bottom you
  • 00:01:31
    can turn it off if you want or if it's
  • 00:01:33
    possible on your camera but basically
  • 00:01:35
    use the zebras and open your iris until
  • 00:01:39
    bang we see some exhibitors on the wall
  • 00:01:42
    so if you want to let the wall go and
  • 00:01:45
    blow out let's say that's the window in
  • 00:01:47
    the background then you may say okay I
  • 00:01:49
    want to let that go because it's not
  • 00:01:50
    part of the scene and there's no zippers
  • 00:01:53
    on the important part which is my skin
  • 00:01:55
    tone so let's go up to there so there
  • 00:01:58
    you can start to see zebras on my
  • 00:01:59
    skintone we do not ever want zebras on
  • 00:02:02
    skin tone that is a big no-no okay so
  • 00:02:05
    I'm gonna reduce iris - there
  • 00:02:08
    notice how there's basically no zebras
  • 00:02:10
    on any part of my face there's a little
  • 00:02:13
    bit on the wall but if we wanted to keep
  • 00:02:15
    that wall that's fine
  • 00:02:16
    so let's drop that there that is your
  • 00:02:19
    ett our position it's really that simple
  • 00:02:21
    guys just basically look at the for the
  • 00:02:23
    zebras open the exposure there's the
  • 00:02:25
    zebras okay let's drop it down to their
  • 00:02:29
    ett are done really it's that simple and
  • 00:02:32
    basically from here all you want to make
  • 00:02:34
    sure before you do this is have your
  • 00:02:36
    white balance set that way your RGB
  • 00:02:38
    channels are all equally weighted and
  • 00:02:40
    white balance and zebras will work in
  • 00:02:43
    tandem to give you the best dynamic
  • 00:02:44
    range then basically open your eyes
  • 00:02:47
    there's the zebras okay we want nothing
  • 00:02:50
    on skin that's good
  • 00:02:52
    and if I was also on the background
  • 00:02:53
    great let's drop it a little more there
  • 00:02:56
    you go perfect and if you're shooting in
  • 00:02:59
    the dark guys use lights it's not magic
  • 00:03:02
    you know there's only so much a cameras
  • 00:03:03
    can do they are not 20-plus stops
  • 00:03:05
    they're about eleven and twelve stops so
  • 00:03:07
    if you're shooting in the dark same
  • 00:03:08
    principles apply I'm not using any
  • 00:03:11
    lighting here just a window but you know
  • 00:03:13
    get your exposure up with lights or ISO
  • 00:03:18
    ISOs fine
  • 00:03:20
    you can see here on the Panasonic it's
  • 00:03:22
    ISO 400 but this could be done in the
  • 00:03:24
    dark the exact same way I would up my
  • 00:03:26
    eye so look for the zebras there they
  • 00:03:28
    are
  • 00:03:28
    okay drop them back down walls clear
  • 00:03:32
    done that's ett are really simple and
  • 00:03:35
    you use all the maximum dynamic range of
  • 00:03:37
    your camera see the next one goes by
