1. What is a gray card used for? What does it help represent?
2. What is a waveform monitor used for? How should you use it?
3. What is false color? How can it be used to determine exposure?
A gray card is used to determine what setting to use on the camera to get perfect exposure. It helps represent skin tones on camera. A waveform monitor is used to tell the exposure levels which are found on the y-plane of the monitor. the x-plane shows the exposure of what's in the frame from left to right. You can use the gray card along with the waveform to fix your exposure, as the gray card shows up as a distinct white line. Usually having that line around 40 is adequate exposure. False color is similar to a waveform, except it reads differently. It can be used to determine exposure by using colors on a scale, which each represent different exposure levels. These colors will appear on the monitor in places where the exposure is high or low, allowing you to make adjustments to fix the highlights of your image.
