I have little difficulty judging exposure by eye as I quickly get to
know my cameras monitors and latitude, but I do use the zebra as a way
of maintaining uniform exposure on a subject that I'm shooting over a
longer period of time than the final film means to portray.
For example we did a series of films with people presenting to camera,
typically each presentation took over an hour to shoot but the final
film makes it look like a five minute presentation. The locations were
outside with our British weather as often as not producing several
levels of light during the shoot. By using the zebra as a pattern
generator and marking the persons face with a spot on the nose, the
forehead, the chin etc. It was easy to maintain a uniform exposure by
adjusting the iris so that the
pattern stayed the same.
