Checking the area where overexposure may occur ([Zebra Pattern])
Recording mode:
You can check the area in a picture that is brighter than a certain brightness, which could
result in overexposure, by displaying such an area using a zebra pattern. You can also
set the brightness to be represented by the zebra pattern.

Use to select the brightness and press [MENU/SET]
•The range of brightness you can select from is [50%] to [105%]. The [OFF]
setting is available for [Zebra 2]. When [100%] or [105%] is selected, only the
overexposed areas are displayed with the zebra pattern. When a smaller numeric
value is set, the range of brightness to be displayed by each zebra pattern will
increase.
●
If there is overexposure, we recommend taking pictures using a lower exposure value
(→177)
,
using the histogram
(→55)
as a guideline.
●
The displayed zebra pattern is not recorded.
●
If you set [Zebra Pattern] to [Fn Button Set]
in the [Custom] menu, every time you press
the assigned function button the setting will switch in the following order: [Zebra 1] → [Zebra 2]
→ [Zebra OFF]. When [Zebra 2] is set to [OFF], you can switch the setting quickly in the following
order: [Zebra 1] → [Zebra OFF].
