Using Custom Zoom Settings - Sony Pro 10 User Manual

At high zoom levels, only low-level samples are visible because the peaks of the waveform move beyond the vertical scope of the data
window. Consider the following data windows.
Level zoom out maximum
Both data windows display the same audio file at a 1:1 zoom ratio. The window on the left shows the level ruler zoomed to its maximum

the left window are out of display range in the right window.
