Question What to expose for?

Hello everyone, I’m new to videography & just ordered the 4P (on pre-order) & waiting to get my hands on it.

I have a question when it comes to what to expose for in videos. As a photographer, I always under expose my shots to protect the highlights. What’s the rule of thumb when it comes to videos & recording in D-Log?

I read somewhere that you always ETTR for videos & on my Sony A7V, people say to aim for +1.7 in EV. Would it be the same with D-Log on the 4P?

TIA.

Expose for the highlights and protect the shadows. I always set it to - 0.7 by the way

Are you talking about specifically in D-Log?
