When I expose to 100% zebras I can't see anything. Are people using external monitors to do this? Do the luts you load onto the external monitors allow to set the exposure -2 so you can see what you are shooting?

And if not shooting raw?
It's more difficult. Because when you lower the ISO in ProRes, you will sacrifice some DR.
Remembering this is a work around to ETTR that causes the LCD screen to be very bright. It's bright, especially in VIDEO because you're overexposing it. Another solution is to switch to FILM monitoring. Then you'll see everything, but sort of washed out....

so far on my case, i use a fader or ND filter and set the ISO to 800. no ways getting around it on prores. you shoot like any normal camcorder. so an external monitor would defnitely help.
I pretty sure this was discussed before but what the best way to get you exposure right when shooting prores? Setting zebras at 100 like in Raw?
John, did some more testing with this today. The thing I don't get, if ISO is just metadata, then why does my clipping point when I change to 800? I expose for 200 iso, and see no zebras, but when I change it to 800, I see zebras??? Halsu thread below also seems like something changes in ISO 200 and 400:

I did some test of my own and don't see the clipping in the blue and green channel like he is, but the change in Zebras tells me its not just metadata?
I haven't looked for a while but you should find that with Zebra's at 100%, the clipping point won't change as you change ISO.
Are you set at 100% ? The curve is changing, so something near clipping might bend and stretch as you get closer to clipping. So Zebras at 90% might see changes for example.

Yeah, set at 100%. Anyone else seeing the same thing? John, what do you think of Halsu's post? It doesn't look like a resolve interface? Thanks for all your help with this stuff, btw.
