Fine. About your 1 and 2, I'll add that David Busch (D810 book) suggests adding fill lighting to manage shadow pull-up noise when you reduce exposure to fix this - p. 135.
See my earlier post and for more on Busch remarks see my later (than this) post, all in this thread, FYI.

Thanks. Watched the video last night.
The ONLY solution for blown-out red
Today I stumbled on a page-long full discussion by David Busch in the D810 book (may be in his other books, too). He says the "only" way to fix this is to reduce exposure.
So you and Busch and I (post above from me) have cited the same cure.
Let me add that it may be easy to forget that the exposure can be reduced with lighting changes, including reorientation of the subject and light source(s) -- as discussed in my earlier post.

I found a link to a video by Mike Wallace showing the red problem you were talking about and how to correct for it.

Is the red really overexposed like the histogram says?
Probably, for example if a rose petal is visibly missing detail. Still, the histogram is taken from a JPEG, of a raw file, so indications of overexposure in any histogram can be a false positive, due to untoward squeeze applied.
Get more histogram truth (Tip)
A more reliable histogram is easily available by shooting a raw test shot with the Picture Control style, Flat, introduced on the D810. See Busch.
Must you care if overexposed?
Busch says it may not matter in some cases and is up to the shooter, FYI. He is not the first to say so.
