Yes. Exposure to the right as much as possible. At least my BMPCC likes light. I think all other Blackmagics behave similiar.
Decide what parts can be clipped. To exposure like the automatic does often results in underexposure. Although the image are not bad, and still there, the BMPCC is much(!) better when exposed brighter.

Youtube. Own doing. Some books.

Regarding BMPCC expose as much as possible.
You can easely recover skin tones. And (caucasian) skin tones are wonderful with Blackmagic.
(the problem are red, red tends to be too orange)

Details in the shadows. Details in the highs.
