EOS C80 Recommended value for high zebra to prevent clipping

Thefilmaddict

I'm new to Canon but I am trying to master the C80.  I like to use False color and zebra to help with exposure.  What value should I set my high zebra setting to prevent clipping?  Would you set it to 100 and then when you see 100 zebras in your shots highlights, just close your iris down (or adjust ISO or ND) to make the Zebra pattern disappear?  As far as false color, should I try to avoid anything hitting red that I care about? 

My gut tells me this is the right way, but I want to make sure it's correct.  NOTE:  this is reading the levels with a display LUT on, not the flat LOG image.

Greetings Thefilmaddict,

I apologize, but it may be difficult to provide recommended settings for video shooting since recommended settings may be subjective. Settings may change depending on the type of video that is being shot, the shooting environment, and other factors. We can provide you with technical troubleshooting support in case you are experiencing issues with your EOS C80 camera. You may also refer to the user guide for the camera for information on the camera's functions and settings:
