As the shot comes into focus the
graph will start to fill from the right
but will never go all the way. Aim for
about ½ to 2/3 full for a sharp image.

Exposure Tools

You have the standard exposure tools of zebras, waveform and histograms that are all set and
controlled under the VF page of the menu.
In custom mode everything is measure of what you are recording. In CineEI the zebras measure
the view finder image and the waveform and histograms measure the SDI 2 signal.
Measures the viewfinder
LUT on = Measures the MLUT
LUT off = Measures S-Log
Zebras are set in VF menu; zebra 1 default is 70% (Standard for skin tones using 709 gamma) so
when exposure reach's 70% zebras will appear but with the zebra aperture set to to 10% zebras will
start to appear between 65% and 75%. Zebra 2 is slightly different to zebra 1 where it looks at the
over exposure so when it is set to 100% it will come on and stay on for anything 100% and above.
This can be changed in the VF settings in the menu.
