Onscreen Markers, Zebra Patterns and False Color Displaying Zebra Patterns The camera has a zebra pattern function that shows black and white diagonal stripes over areas that are overexposed. There are two types of zebra patterns and you can display both simultaneously. Zebra 1 lets you identify areas within a certain range (±5% of a specified level from 5% to 95%) while zebra 2 lets you identify areas that exceed a specified level (from 0% Zebra 1 Zebra 2 93 to 100%). 1 Select > [A Assistance Functions] > [Zebra] > [Zebra 1], [Zebra 2] or [Zebra 1+2] (both zebra patterns). 2 Select > [A Assistance Functions] > [Zebra 1 Level] or [Zebra 2 Level] > Desired option. 3 Press the ZEBRA button to activate the selected zebra pattern on all monitoring devices at once. • Alternatively, you can press an assignable button set to [Zebra: All], [Zebra: VIDEO Term.], [Zebra: EVF-V50] or [Zebra: MON./HDMI] (A 121), to turn the zebra pattern overlay on and off on all monitoring devices, the supplied LCD screen, an optional viewfinder or external monitors, respectively. Displaying False Color In this display mode 6 colors are overlaid on a black & white version of the image to identify potentially problematic exposure areas. To display the false color overlay on individual video outputs, select > [A Assistance Functions] > [False Color: VIDEO Term.] (LCD screen), [False Color: EVF-V50] (optional viewfinder) or [False Color: MON./HDMI] (external monitors) > [On]. • Alternatively, you can press an assignable button (A 121) set to one of the above options, or to [False Color: All] to turn the false color overlay on and off on all monitoring devices at once.
