Curious on how to expose N-Log?
Too long; didn't watch? I'll hit the key points:

-The 2 main things to consider when shooing with N-Log are what is your shooting environment (what kind of lighting are you dealing with, how much control do you have over your subject, how much contrast is in your composition) and what is your plan for post processing (specifically what kind of rec.709 conversion LUT will you be using)

-The only documentation Nikon provides states to expose an 18% gray card at 35 IRE

-I came across a video where the creator reverse engineers the exposure for a gray card if you are using the Nikon LUTs that are provided. 31 IRE if you are using the Z9 version 2/Z8 version 1 LUT. 37 IRE if you are using the Z9 version 1 LUT
