 It is.  I have one tip to make the footage easier to work with:

When you are recording scenes that vary in contrast and colour,
such as indoor shots with large windows where the camera moves
around, you should use manual white balance.

Colour balance that suddenly shifts during a clip makes proper
grading much more painful.  Please consider locking the colour
balance for each shot.  Changes _between_ shots are easier to
manage in post-production.
