Displaying Zebra Patterns

The camcorder 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%).
1 Select [Zebra].
> [A # Assistance Functions] > [Zebra]
2 Select a zebra pattern and then press SET.
3 Select the menu setting corresponding to the zebra
level you selected.
> [A # Assistance Functions] > [Zebra 1 Level]
or [Zebra 2 Level]
4 Select the desired zebra level and then press SET.
5 Press the ZEBRA button to activate the selected zebra
pattern.
