the dashboard, select the 'settings' icon, then select the television icon to the left of the settings menu.
In Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, you will find display settings under the 'monitoring' section.
Press the 'menu' button to enter the menu settings display. Use the left and right arrow buttons to

Dynamic Range
The LCD allows you to view your video as you are recording. You can set the dynamic range of the
LCD by selecting 'video' or 'film'.

settings. Some people prefer to monitor video with the LCD set to 'video' even when the recording
format is set to 'film'.
