So where is the rest of the video? This is about setting ISO, not shutter speed. Of course being at the whim of a locked-in shutter speed is likely force you to push ISO way past an acceptable exposure latitude, So what we need to see are results from locking in a desired ISO (ISO 800, 100, etc.) and then manually dialing in a shutter speed that brings the waveform monitor output into an acceptable range of values.
Well it depends on your priority. If you’re trying to get a certain look, for example 180 degree shutter angle 24fps – 1/48 sp, then it makes sense to lock down the shutter speed first.
What is your method of determining the iso setting with the locked shutter speed at 1/48?
as low as possible. Anything above 200 I try to avoid
