Onscreen Markers, Zebra Patterns and False Color Onscreen Markers, Zebra Patterns and False Color In CAMERA mode, using onscreen markers allows you to make sure your subject is correctly framed and is within the appropriate safe area. Zebra patterns help you identify areas that are overexposed. The false color overlay allows you to check if the exposure is correct. You can display the assistance overlays independently on 91 the LCD screen, an optional viewfinder or external monitors. The assistance overlays will not affect your recordings.
