Exposure Index EXPLAINED in Cinematography!

🎙️ EPISODE: Why Exposure Index (EI) Is Replacing ISO in Modern Filmmaking In this episode, we'll dives into Chris Tinard’s latest breakdown of Exposure Index (EI)—exploring why it’s quickly becoming more important than ISO in digital cinematography. Based on Chris’s recent deep-dive video, this discussion unpacks what EI actually is, how it differs from ISO, and why filmmakers—especially those working in S-Log3 on Sony cameras—need to understand it. The episode also looks at how DaVinci Resolve now uses EI metadata by default, effectively redefining exposure workflows in post-production. 🔍 Topics covered: • The difference between ISO and Exposure Index • How EI impacts dynamic range and image quality • Why lowering EI can result in cleaner shadows • How DaVinci Resolve interprets EI vs. ISO • Why EI offers more flexibility for log shooters Whether you’re shooting on a Sony FX6, FX3, or working with log profiles in general, this episode offers a clear, practical look at how EI is reshaping modern exposure techniques.
