Onscreen Markers, Zebra Patterns and False Color
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
from 5% to 95%) while zebra 2 lets you identify areas that exceed a specified level (from 0%
to 100%).
1 Select > [
A
Assistance Functions] > [Zebra] >
[Zebra 1], [Zebra 2] or [Zebra 1+2] (both zebra patterns).
2 Select > [
A
Assistance Functions] > [Zebra 1 Level]
or [Zebra 2 Level] > Desired option.
3 Press the ZEBRA button to activate the selected zebra
pattern on all monitoring devices at once.
• Alternatively, you can press an assignable button set to
[Zebra: All], [Zebra: VIDEO Term.], [Zebra: EVF-V50] or [Zebra:
MON./HDMI] (

LCD screen, an optional viewfinder or external monitors, respectively.
Displaying False Color
In this display mode 6 colors are overlaid on a black & white version of the image to identify potentially
problematic exposure areas.
To display the false color overlay on individual video outputs, select > [
A
Assistance
Functions] > [False Color: VIDEO Term.] (LCD screen), [False Color: EVF-V50] (optional viewfinder) or
[False Color: MON./HDMI] (external monitors) > [On].
• Alternatively, you can press an assignable button (
A
123) set to one of the above options, or to [False Color:
All] to turn the false color overlay on and off on all monitoring devices at once.
NOTES NOTES
• You can use the > [
A
Assistance Functions] > [False Color Index] setting to check an index of the
colors used in the false color overlay.
• The false color overlay will not be output while color bars are displayed.
• When the Look File registered to the custom picture file is active, the color displayed might not be that of the
correct brightness level.
