The Main Screen - Monitoring Features
At the bottom of the Monitoring screen are the Monitoring Features,
accessible by toggling the MON icon. Monitoring Features do not affect
your recorded file and can be turned on and off, or adjusted whilst recording
(unless you choose to burn a LUT file into your footage). Not all Monitoring
features are available at first glance – to reveal all Monitoring features, swipe
monitoring icons to the left. The icons will behave in a carousel like manner
and you can swipe left and right to access any of the features. At the bottom right
is the Settings button. Press Settings to adjust behaviours of Monitoring Tools.
