I’m very pleased to announce the release of an updated version of the Ultimate Exposure Guide for the Sony FS5 as of firmware version 4.02!

The Ultimate Exposure Guide for the FS5 is publication available as a PDF download with 34  8′ x 11′ pages containing diagrams, tables, and detailed information on everything there is to know about working with the various gammas and characteristics of the camera.

This FS5 has received a lot of changes in the past year via free firmware updates by Sony, so as a result I’ve updated made updates to the publication and included new relevant information. Added are changes to reflect new native ISO values as of firmware version 4.02, information on the Auto ND function, and details about the new Hybrid Log-Gamma used for HDR production workflow. In addition diagrams have been updated to provide even more clarity, and several new information tables have also been added to help understand aspects of the FS5 camera. The revised publication now exceeds over 10,000 words!

Called a “truly indispensable guide” by most, the Ultimate Exposure Guide has all the information you need all in one convenient place so there’s no need to go on any wild goose chases searching the web endlessly, or reading through multiple articles with scattered information.
