That got me thinking. I bought my first camera, a Canon Rebel, in 2005 from my first film job (as a boom op). It’s bad DR was complimented by terrible black rolloff. There, I learned to ‘expose to the right’ with the explanation that the more exposed parts got more bit depth in the raw files. It really helped, but I never got (or rather researched) the underlying math.
Does it hold true for modern cinema cameras? It should, really...
