Waveform monitoring not only warns the user of out-of-range conditions such as overexposure but
also serves as a good tool for color correction and white and black balance.

Peaking filter
The peaking filter, once enabled, will place color lines on edges of the subject of the focus in the
image. This function works well if the subject of the focus is correctly exposed for high contrast.
Red, Green, Blue and White are the four available outline colors on the TLM-170V.
The Peaking Level determines the sensitivity of the filter. Setting the peaking level to a high value
means more areas will be highlighted including lower contrast areas. If the peaking level is set to a
low value, then only areas of high contrast will be highlighted.
The diagram below illustrates images with peaking filter applied to the subject of the focus. Note
the different colors of the outline in each picture.
False Color
Also known as the exposure assist, once enabled, the false color feature will change colors of the
elements of the image based on the brightness value. This allows the user to use the monitor's
exposure function to achieve proper exposure without the use of costly external equipment.
To best utilize this feature, you must first understand the color chart below.
