Using screens and displays suitable for 
recording
Applicable modes: 
You can check areas that may be white saturated by displaying areas above a certain 
luminance level in a zebra pattern. You can also set the minimu m luminance level 
(brightness) to be processed as a zebra pattern.
•
If there are any white saturated areas, we recommend compensati ng the exposure towards 
negative  (P161) referring to the histogram  (P47) and then taking the picture.
•Displayed zebra patterns will not be recorded.•If you assign [Zebra Pattern] to [Fn Button Set]  (P64) in the [Custom] menu, each time you 
press the function button to which the setting is assigned, the  zebra pattern toggles as follows:
[Zebra 1]  → [Zebra 2]  → [OFF].
When [Zebra 2] is set to [OFF], the setting toggles in the order  of [Zebra 1] → [OFF], allowing 
you to switch the setting quickly.
