Zebra Indicator
The zebra signals are striped patterns that appear superimposed
on the actual picture. There are two zebra signals: the zebra 1
signal which appears in the area where the video level of the
subject is higher than the set value, and the zebra 2 signal which
appears only in the area where the video level is the same as the
set value. The zebra indicator is turned on/off by the assignable
switch on front side of viewfinder. (The zebra function is
assigned to the assignable switch F1 by default.)
