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 are over a specified level (from 0% to 100%). When you display
both simultaneously and they overlap, only the zebra 1 pattern will be displayed in those areas.
1 Open the [Zebra] submenu.
[Assist. Functions] (A) > [Zebra]
2 Select [VIDEO Output] and/or [MON.+HDMI Output], select [On] and then press SET.
• Alternatively, you can press an assignable button set to [Zebra: VIDEO] (optional viewfinder only), [Zebra:
MON.+HDMI] (external monitors only) or [Zebra] (all monitoring devices at once) (A 127).
• Select [Off] instead to not display the onscreen markers on the respective video outputs.
3 From the same submenu select [Select] to set the zebra pattern type.
4 Select [Zebra 1], [Zebra 2] or [Zebra 1+2] and then press SET.
