Wear a white t-shirt. Use auto iris unless you are locked off on tripod. You have to think as the light as a moving source. So when you come in the light should dim, otherwise it throws the other light ratios off. So if you dont change the power and you walk the camera in your sources the kinos, daylight or whatever you are using (not the ring light) becomes less of a source and more of a fill (which looks like crap unless that is what you are going for)
