Displaying Zebra Patterns

This 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.
