[Zebra Pattern]
You can check the area in a picture, which could result in overexposure, by displaying
such an area using a zebra pattern.
[ZEBRA1]: [ZEBRA2]:
Select [SET] to set the brightness to be displayed for each zebra pattern.
•The range of brightness you can select from is [50%] to [105%]. The [OFF] setting is
available for [Zebra 2]. When [100%] or [105%] is selected, only the overexposed areas
are displayed with the zebra pattern. When a smaller numeric value is set, the range of
brightness to be displayed by each zebra pattern will increase.
●
To reduce overexposed areas, record a picture by setting negative exposure compensation
(→ 100 ) using the histogram display (→ 195 ) and so on as a reference.
●
The displayed zebra pattern is not recorded.
●
If you set [Zebra Pattern] to [Fn Button Set] (→ 47 ) in the [Custom] menu, every time you press
the assigned function button the setting will switch in the following order: [Zebra 1 ] → [ Zebra 2]
→ [ Zebra OFF]. When [Zebra 2] is set to [OFF], you can switch the setting quickly in the following
order: [Zebra 1 ] → [ Zebra OFF].

black and white screen will make it easier to adjust focus in Manual Focus mode.

This does not affect recorded pictures.
[Constant Preview]

screen in Manual Exposure Mode.
