Setting Spot Meter

The brightness of the object during shooting is
displayed.
This function is useful when setting video or stage
lighting or when specifying camera exposure.
A cursor indicating the location and the brightness
(%) of that location are displayed in the images
shown on the LCD monitor and viewfinder screen.
Zebra patterns display the brightness of output
0
video signals.

This function allows you to check the brightness
0
of input images from the lens without depending
on image processing such as gamma curve. The
dynamic range of the camera recorder is 400 %
and a brightness range of 0 % to 400 % and
above is displayed.
Memo :
Spot meter may not be consistent with the zebra
0
display range. When [Gamma] in the [Camera
Process] menu is set to "Cinema", the 100IRE
output is not consistent with the 100 % display.
When an object of more than 400 % luminance
is detected, it is displayed as "400 %".
