Welcome back!

1.5, to 2 stops to the right is a good exposure.

I wouldn't bother with zebra, false color, histogram, just use the exposure meter (less clutter over the shot then)

Nice shot of the lake. What ISO was this? R6 II is clean basically anywhere under 6400

that was 800, but im seeing good stuff up to 6400, as you said, and even 12800. shocking -- i had no idea. makes the cam much more interesting.

ive been getting great results w clog3 after getting the hang of it -- its easy. lovely color, respectable highlight rolloff, and decent dynamic range for naturalistic images that dont look like video puke. Not bad, i might get one of these. half the price of the R52 rlly makes me like it lol

been stress testing, just some random frames

If you shoot a lot of 4k60 then R6 mk2 actually has a much better oversampled instead of line skipped image than R5mk2.

But if that isn’t a concern then the original R5 may be a better choice as it’s now more or less the same price as an R6 mk2 at some dealers. You’d gain 45MP / 8K and internal RAW.

yeah I always just go with the exposure meter on Canon cams, plus of course the view assist to get a rec709 preview. 
 

Unless mistaken the exposure meter is absent on Nikon’s in video mode? I always find the exposure meter most handy on small mirrorless lcd’s.
