Using the Zebra Pattern:
You can use the zebra pattern as a nice rug, just kidding. You can use it to identify areas that
might be overexposed, so you can correct the exposure appropriately. The camcorder offers two
levels of zebra pattern: With 100% only areas that will lose detain in the highlighted areas will be
identified, while 70% will identify also areas that are dangerously close to losing detail. While in
the [M Manual Exposure] settings, touch the wrench symbol to select your zebra level (70% or
100%)
3. Touch below the wrench symbol where it is a zebra
icon with a 70% or 100% and then touch [X]
Your zebra pattern will appear on the overexposed
areas of the picture. Touch again to turn off the zebra
pattern.
You can use the Zebra Pattern as a way to
determine what is being overexposed. You can
then go in and change the F-stops and Shutter
Speed to help expose those areas in the zebra
pattern, if that is your desired look.
White Balance:
The white balance function helps you to accurately
reproduce colors under different lighting conditions.

• When you select [K Color Temperature], [Set 1] or [Set 2], set the color temperature or a custom
white balance with the appropriate procedure below before touching [X]
• The icon of the selected option will appear on the screen.
