RAW CLIP METER

The RAW Clip meter looks a traffic light style meter and indicates if either of the Red, Blue or Green channels

of the RAW sensor data are clipping. This meter is unaffected by White Balance, ISO, VIEW or LOOK settings

and therefore represents a true measurement of the exposure levels of the sensor at all times.

RAW NOISE LEVEL BAR

The RAW noise bar displays the amount of pixels in the image that are in noise. For example, if the bar is about

1/8 of the total height, this would indicate approximately 1/8 of the total pixels in the image are at an exposure

level at risk of displaying noise when pushed at higher ISO or FLUT values in post-production.

RAW CLIP LEVEL BAR

The RAW clip level bar displays the amount of pixels in the image that are clipping. For example, if the bar is

about 1/4 of the total height, this would indicate approximately 1/8 of the total pixels in the image are at an ex-

posure level at risk of clipping and may not be recoverable by lowering ISO or FLUT values in post-production.
