cinematography GH4 ETTR

[KevinMcCallister]

I have been reading and experimenting with different techniques, trying to find my preferred style with the GH4. I learned about GH4 users exposing to the right, and I can't seem to achieve this. Desperate for some input, I get this sad feeling of insanity every time I try to mess with it.

What can't you achieve exactly?

When I start to get closer to ettr, it starts to clip. In the highlights, and usually the shadows as well, then when I bring the exposure back down it guess to the left or hits neutral. Does this method require the shot to be pretty lit? Maybe have the shadows a little more lit up?

Don't mean to post an unnecessary thread, but I kind of answered my own question. I was lackinging light

Actually, that is very relevant. With the low light sensitivity of today's DSLRs, many people are either not lighting, or they are using small LED panels to light up an entire room. That can look pretty lousy, at times.
