ZEBRA
Use Zebra mode to enable and adjust the upper and lower values for two (2) independent zebra indicators. Use
Zebra 1 for highlight exposure, and use Zebra 2 for mid-tones or shadows. Zebras are visible in Magnify mode
and are disabled by default. As with other IRE-based modes, zebra mode is applicable to the current ISO and
Look settings, and not the RAW image.
