False Color
The false color feature displays color overlays on your image that represent exposure values.
The color values correspond to optimum exposure settings, for example pink for Caucasian skin
tones and green for 38.4% middle grey. False color is also helpful to know when shadows and
highlights are near clipping or clipping.
With a range of tonal values on the LCD at once, this gives you a broader overview of your
exposure which you can use to refine lighting on set, or make exposure changes to
compensate.
We have included a chart in this section that shows how the colors correspond to specific
tonal values.
