Onscreen Markers, Zebra Patterns and False Color

Onscreen Markers, Zebra Patterns and False Color
In CAMERA mode, using onscreen markers allows you to make sure your subject is correctly framed and is
within the appropriate safe area. Zebra patterns help you identify areas that are overexposed. The false color
90
overlay allows you to check if the exposure is correct. You can display the assistance overlays independently on
the LCD screen, an optional viewfinder or external monitors. The assistance overlays will not affect your
recordings.

Displaying Onscreen Markers

The camera offers several onscreen markers. You can display multiple onscreen markers simultaneously and
select their color individually.
[Center Marker]: Displays a small marker that indicates the center of the screen. You can select the shape of the
center marker.
[Horizontal Marker]: Displays a horizontal line to help you compose level shots.
[Grid Marker]: Displays a grid that allows you to frame your shots correctly (horizontally and vertically).
[Aspect Marker]: Indicates various aspect ratios by displaying border lines or by masking the image outside the
selected aspect ratio. Available options include standard aspect ratios ([4:3], [1.66:1], etc.), a vertical aspect ratio
[9:16], and [Custom], a free aspect ratio set by the user.
[Safe Area Marker]: Displays a margin from the edges of the image to indicate the action safe area, text safe
area, etc. You can select the core area used as the basis for calculating the safe area and a percentage, relative
to the side length or area.
[User Marker 1], [User Marker 2]: Displays up to two rectangular frames whose size and position you can set
freely and independently of each other.
