Zebra Pattern
You can use the zebra pattern to identify areas that might be overexposed, so you can correct the exposure
appropriately. The camcorder offers two levels of zebra pattern: With 100%, only areas that will lose detail in the
highlight areas will be identified, while 70% will identify also areas that are dangerously close to losing detail.
