False Color
This monitor has a false color filter to aid in the setting of camera exposure. As the camera Iris is adjusted, elements of the image will change color based on the
luminance or brightness values. This enables proper exposure to be achieved without the use of costly, complicated external equipment. To best utilize this feature, you
must understand the color chart below and have a basic understanding of camera exposure. Normally, when shooting subjects like people, it is common practice to set
exposure of faces to the equivalent of approximately 56 IRE. The false color filter will show this area as the color PINK on the monitor. Therefore, as you increase
exposure (open the IRIS), your subject will change color as indicated on the chart: PINK, then GREY, then a few shades of YELLOW. Over exposed subjects (above 101 IRE)
on the monitor will be shown as RED. In addition, underexposed subjects will show as DEEP-BLUE to DARK–BLUE, with clipped-blacks indicated with a FUCHSIA-like color.
Lastly, the color GREEN is used to indicate elements of the image that are approximately 45 IRE. This represents a ‘neutral’ or ‘mid-level’ exposure commonly used for
objects (not people).
