Setting Spot Meter
The brightness of the object during shooting is displayed.
This function is useful when setting video or stage lighting or
when specifying camera exposure.
A cursor indicating the location and the brightness (%) of that
location are displayed in the images shown on the LCD
monitor and viewfinder screens.
● Zebra patterns display the brightness of output video
signals. (A Page 50)
● This function allows you to check the brightness of input images
from the lens without depending on image processing such as
gamma curve. The dynamic range of the camera recorder is 300
% and a brightness range of 0 % to 300 % and above is
displayed.
Memo :
● Spot meter may not be consistent with the zebra display
range. When [Gamma] in the [Camera Process] menu is
set to Cinema or Film Out , the 100IRE output is not
consistent with the 100 % display. (A Page 77)
When an object of more than 300 % luminance is
detected, it is displayed as 300 %.
