3.5.1 Viewfinder set-up
Set up the viewfinder according to your own preferences; adjust viewing parameters, select
markers, message boxes and on-screen display times. These parameters are set in the
VF
submenu of the viewfinder menu. You can turn on the color bars to help setting up the
viewfinder.
Viewfinder picture settings
Adjust the
Brightness
and
Contrast
controls according to your preferences. If you wish, use
the
Crispening
(peaking) control to adjust the sharpness of the viewfinder picture. Reduce
crispening when the gain is set to higher levels.
The dioptre of the viewfinder can be adjusted to suit your eyesight by turning the
Dioptre
ring.
Exposure indication
Switch on the
Zebra
function so that the viewfinder displays a zebra
pattern in areas where
high video levels occur. This diagonal line pattern indicates that the area affected is higher than
the predetermined level of the full scale video exposure value. Go to the
VF/ZEBRA
in the
viewfinder menu to set the video levels at which the zebra function works.
Tally on/off switch
The
Tally on/off
switch is used to control the tally lights at the front and rear of the camcorder.
When this switch is set to the
Off
position, the tally
lights do not light when the camcorder is
recording. The rear tally lights can be set to follow the
Tally on/off
switch in the
SYSTEM/
TALLY/REAR FOLLOW
submenu of the viewfinder menu.
Option (Hide) switch
To hide on-screen indicators, menus, focus assist and zebra signals from the viewfinder signal,
set the
