Using Advanced Settings and Recording
Functions for Motion Pictures

[Luminance Level]

Applicable modes:
You can set the luminance range for motion pictures. When you combine multiple
materials into a single motion picture, set a range that covers all materials.
> [Motion Picture] > [Luminance Level]
MENU
Settings: [0s255]/[16s235]/[16s255]
•
This function works only for motion pictures. Still pictures (including those you take during
motion picture recording) will be taken with [0s255].
•
When [Rec Format] is set to [AVCHD] or [MP4], [0-255] in [Luminance Level] will switch to [16-255].

Checking areas that may be white saturated ([Zebra Pattern])

Applicable modes:
You can check areas that may be white saturated by displaying areas above a certain
luminance level in a zebra pattern. You can also set the minimum luminance level
(brightness) to be processed as a zebra pattern.
> [Custom] > [Zebra Pattern]
MENU
Displays areas above a certain luminance level by a
right-leaning zebra pattern.
[ZEBRA1]
Displays areas above a certain luminance level by a
left-leaning zebra pattern.
[ZEBRA2]
[OFF]
Sets the minimum brightness level for each zebra pattern.
[Zebra 1]/[Zebra 2]
Press 3/4 to select the brightness, and press [MENU/SET].
•
[SET] You can select a brightness value between [50%] and [105%]. In [Zebra 2], you
can select [OFF]. If you select [100%] or [105%], only the areas that are
already white saturated are displayed in a zebra pattern. The smaller the value
is, the wider the brightness range to be processed as a zebra pattern will be.
•
If there are any white saturated areas, we recommend compensating the exposure towards
negative (P53) referring to the histogram (P102) and then taking the picture.
•
Displayed zebra patterns will not be recorded.
