BLOG QUESTION ADV: USING FALSE COLOR

What is false color? Why is it so important? Explain in detail scenarios where it might be a useful tool?

False color allows you to determine the different brightness values on your picture through a monitor. It can range from 0 IRE (total black) to 100 IRE (total white) on your monitor. It’s important to use when setting your exposure. You can use them when you’re in a setting where the exposure levels aren't clear to see on a monitor (e.g. too sunny or too dark), and you need to get a clear level of exposure.
