Video Scopes
The camera can display a simplified waveform monitor or vectorscope. It can also display an edge monitor* to
help you focus. The video scopes appear only on the LCD screen. They do not appear in the viewfinder or on an
external monitor. In order to use the video scopes, the monitor unit must be attached to the camera.
* The edge monitor looks at the focus of the entire picture and displays the results as a waveform. The edge monitor is available
only in mode.
