D6. Exposure, Zebras, Waveform and Histogram
Exposure is controlled through a combination of shutter
speed, gain/ISO, iris aperture and ND filter. The camera
includes a number of tools for measuring exposure.
D6.1 Zebras
Zebras are commonly used to measure the brightness of
either skin tones or highlights. Zebra 1 is designed to be
used for skin tones. (MENU: VF – Zebra). For STD gammas
the default level of 70% works well in most cases, a small
amount of zebras appearing across a face. However for
the Hypergammas the zebra level should be reduced to
60% for good results.
Zebra1 at 70% on skin tones with STD gamma (note how darker faces
may not always show zebras at 70%).
