How to properly expose for slog

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8o7T5f3UuA&t=190s

  • Gamma display assist (unlut?) - to dark?
    • Menu/setup/display options/Gamma display-assist/on
  • Use histogram (push to the right), if the stream is 8 bit, slog2 might be better, because is less flat.
  • Zebra (90%-95% should be ok for slog)
  • Overexpose a stop or two to get rid of some of the noise in blacks
  • Maybe don’t shoot in slog at lower lightning conditions at all?

Harden ssh

https://www.ezeelogin.com/blog/how-to-harden-ssh-server/

  • Passwordless Authentication
  • disable root
  • custom port (disable 22)
  • Timeout for SSH Connections
  • Enable two-factor authentication for SSH (libpam-google-authenticator)
  • Fail2ban
  • and more …

Changing the port from 22 still seem like a good practice:
