I am shocked at how little information is provided by DJI on EI Mode.
If you are using EI Mode, how do you get the proper exposure? Do you disable EI, calculate the exposure with the histogram and waveform, lock it, then enable EI mode? Or do you enable EI mode, and calculate the exposure from the flat image?
This video has a download link for the original EI mode file:
I downloaded it and opened it in Premiere Pro CC. The image is flat as expected, and the waveform tool shows that the darkest parts are at 30%, and the brightest parts are at 80%. The resulting graded image looks perfect.
So should I calculate the exposure so that the highlights max out at 80%, according to the live waveform?
Thanks.
