WaveformMonitorTypes
Inside the Waveform Monitoring menu, two types of Waveform Monitors
are available for use:
Luma Parade, RGB Parade, Vectorscope and Vectorscope Zoom are
enabled simply by touching the corresponding icon and will be by default
displayed at the bottom right hand corner.
Luma Overlay
Luma Overlay shows the levels of brightness from an input source and
makes it clear where overexposed or dark areas are on an image. Low
values indicate an underexposed area, while high values indicate
overexposed areas.
RGB Parade
RGB Parade will monitor the level of Red, Green and Blue from an input
source. The RGB channels are displayed side by side. Each colour
channel is measured from -6 to 108.
The Waveform Monitor will remain on screen when hiding the overlays
ensuring the focus remains on calibrating your image.
Vectorscope
The Vectorscope display shows empirical color information of hue (shown
as a phase vector), vector and color strength (measured by outward
distance from the centre). It is invaluable for setting camera white and
black points, identifying areas that are desaturated and for determining
if your shot requires color balancing. You can also use this function to
colour match previous scenes and shots.
Vectorscope Zoom
The Vectorscope Zoom shows an accurate scaled up view of 8:1.
WaveformMonitorSettings
From within the Waveform Monitoring menu you can access the display
settings for the waveform monitor.
