Shooting with manual adjustment
You can set the camcorder to display a zebra pattern (diagonal stripes) in the portion of
the picture on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder with a subject whose brightness
exceeds a certain level. The portion of the picture where zebra pattern appears is an area
of high brightness and overexposure. You can check the picture level of a subject by
displaying the zebra pattern. Use the zebra pattern as a guide for adjusting the exposure
and shutter speed so that you can get the desired picture.
Set the ZEBRA selector to 70 or 100 in standby or memory mode.
To erase the zebra pattern
Set the ZEBRA selector to OFF.
Note on shooting with the zebra pattern
Even though you see the zebra pattern on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder/ the
zebra pattern is not recorded.
