settings for the LCD.

The zebra feature helps you achieve optimum exposure by displaying diagonal lines over areas of the
video that exceed your set zebra level. Turn the zebra feature on or off and adjust the ‘zebra level’
by tapping the left and right arrow icons. Setting the zebra to 100% shows which areas are clipped.

buttons and press ‘ok’.
Step 2.

button. It may take a second to two for the display to update.
SDI Mode
Use this setting to switch Blackmagic Production Camera 4K's 6G-SDI output between 4K and HD
video. This can be handy when monitoring Ultra HD using Blackmagic UltraScope which is compatible
with HD video signals.
SDI/HDMI Overlays
You can monitor your video on an external display using the HDMI port on Blackmagic Pocket Cinema
Camera and Micro Cinema Camera, or the SDI port on Blackmagic Cinema Camera and Production
Camera 4K.
The 'SDI overlay' or 'HDMI overlay' setting lets you display useful information on your monitor. On
all Blackmagic cameras except the Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, use the arrow icons to select
which overlays to display on your SDI or HDMI feed.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera lets you change
the 'language' setting so you can view the menu in
various languages.
Set the HDMI overlays to 'on' or 'off' in Blackmagic Micro
Cinema Camera.
