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