Displaying Zebra Patterns

The camcorder has a zebra pattern feature that shows black and
white diagonal stripes over areas that are overexposed. This is
displayed only on the screen and will not affect your recordings.
There are two types of zebra patterns and you can display both
simultaneously. Zebra 1 lets you identify areas within a certain
range (±5% of a specified level) while zebra 2 lets you identify
areas that are over a specified level. When you display both
simultaneously and they overlap, only zebra 1 will be displayed in
those areas.
