I've just started playing with log video recording and I'm often hearing we should overexpose a couple stops to get clean darks. but like... if you have no control over the lighting, and you've set your shutter speed to 1/50 and your apeture is wide open and you're still above base iso should you just juice up the iso to get that 2 stops over?

in my experience iso sucks. you want as little of it as possible. like throwing a bunch of iso at a sensor to get 2 stops over isn't gonna give a cleaner image than a properly exposed log image that wasn't overstuffed with iso will it?

thanks for any help. I don't really have any friends that are into this stuff to ask.
