Exposure.....not to worry!

I agree about Dennis' suggestion about shooting in RAW for the reasons he mentioned. Beyond that I have found my meter plus the latitude of digital technology does a pretty good job so I don't think you should be worried. And with digital you can easily take some test exposures and make adjustments right on the spot if you want to.

Back in the old days using film the rule of thumb was open up 1 to 1.5 or even 2 f-stops, but the new meters and digital sensors seem to have made that unnecessary, at least for me. But the results do tend to have a lot of contrast (bright snow dark engines) and I find the "shadow/highlight" tool in Photoshop comes in handy to fine tune the final result. But that does not involve a lot of post processing. The images right out of the camera usually look pretty good.

That is at least how it seems to work with stills. Not sure about video, but I would think it would be about the same.

Net net it should not be a problem.
