How to match

Every slider click is one third of a stop. Three clicks = one stop = double or half the light.

Match the B-camera

Teaching model: T-stops and ISO are counted in true third stops (the engraved numbers are rounded); shutter time = angle ÷ 360 ÷ fps; ND 0.3 = 1 stop. The picture is exposed for a 12 fc key (correct at T2.8, ISO 800, 180° at 24 fps), with highlights clipping to white and higher ISO adding noise.
