Display Settings
To adjust the display settings for the camera's touchscreen, press the MENU button and select the
television icon on the touchscreen.
Dynamic Range
The touchscreen serves as your viewfinder, allowing you to view your video as you are recording. You
can set the dynamic range of your viewfinder by tapping the onscreen television icon and selecting
video or film.
The dynamic range of the display is set independent of the recorder settings. Some people prefer
to monitor video with the touchscreen display set to “video” even when the recording format is set
to “film”.
To select the dynamic range, tap the arrow icons on the touchscreen.
Brightness, Contrast
Adjust the brightness and contrast settings by tapping the touchscreen and sliding the control to
the left or right to achieve desired levels for comfortable viewing.
Zebra + Warning Level

Diagonal lines will appear across any part of the video which exceeds the zebra exposure level.
Turn zebra on and select the desired zebra warning level by using the left and right arrows.

on the touchscreen to select which overlays to display on your SDI feed.
