Displaying Zebra Patterns
The camera has a zebra pattern feature that shows black and white
diagonal stripes over areas that are overexposed. The zebra patterns 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.

[£ LCD/VF Setup] > [Select] (under [Zebra])
2 Select [Zebra 1], [Zebra 2] or [Zebra 1&2] and then press SET.
3 Open the zebra level submenu.
[£ LCD/VF Setup] > [Zebra 1 Level] or [Zebra 2 Level]

Alternatively, before closing the menu, you can also select [Zebra],
select [On] and then press SET.

pattern on an external monitor connected to the HD/SD SDI terminal (HD output only), SYNC OUT terminal
