NOTE:
False Color modes display on video recorded through SDI to an external recorder when the Tools are enabled
in the Monitor menu. When recording through SDI, use False Color modes only to help determine scene exposure
settings, and then disable the mode before recording.
FALSE COLOR EXPOSURE MODE
When this monitoring
False Color
mode is activated, most of the tonal range will appear in monochrome.
NORMAL VIEW
EXPOSURE MODE VIEW
NOTE:
The false colors will appear in the same location regardless of ISO setting. To change their appearance, you
must alter the amount of light entering the camera (by adjusting lighting, shutter speed or lens aperture).
Exposure mode is able to indicate exactly which highlights or shadows are problematic in the RAW data capture. If red
is overlaid within the subject of interest, or anywhere except lights and direct reflections, then the image is very likely
overexposed. If there aren't any red overlays, then the exposure is likely OK and could even be increased. If purple is
overlaid on key image detail that isn't in the shadows, then the scene is likely underexposed.
FALSE COLOR VIDEO MODE
NOTE:
For best results, Video Mode should be viewed at or above ISO 800.
Video Mode displays a color overlay that indicates the video level of the RGB monitor path (calibrated to the SMPTE
test signal).
NORMAL VIEW
VIDEO MODE VIEW
The colors used are based on the RGB levels of the video out signal (that is, the “cooked” look, and not RAW data).
The camera's RGB settings can change the appearance of the Video Mode colors.
The Video Mode colors represent the following IRE values (at all other values, the desaturated image represents the
luminance value of the ISO adjusted image):
Purple: IRE 0–4
Blue: IRE 5
Teal: IRE 10–12
Green: IRE 41–48
Pink: IRE 61–70
Straw: IRE 92–93
Yellow: IRE 94–95
Orange: IRE 96–98
Red: IRE 99–100.
