Electronic Viewfinder
• Brightness: Select the brightness of the EVF. A level of 5 is
recommended for normal circumstances.
• White point: Sets the color temperature of the EVF. Default is
6500K. Can either be matched to the white point of other
monitoring devices on set, or to match the white point of the
illumination source. NOT TO BE MISTAKEN WITH THE WHITE
BALANCE OF THE CAMERA!
• Rotate image: When mounting the EVF to the right side of the
camera, the image can be flipped so it appears correctly in the
viewfinder. Affects only the EVF image, MON OUT and REC OUT
images are not rotated!
• Surround view: The ALEV III sensor has 10% additional pixels
outside the recorded image for a better monitoring experience.
The user can decide whether he wants to see these 10% in the
viewfinder or not. By switching surround view on, objects that are
not wanted in the image, such as microphone booms, can be
seen by the operator before they enter the image.
• Frame lines: Frame lines are a reference for framing that typically
consist of an image frame, a center cross and an aspect ratio
reference. See the appendix for more information on the ALEXA
frame line format.
• Status info: At the upper and lower edge of the EVF, right outside
the active image area, additional status info can be displayed. The
upper area contains camera image parameters, the lower area
contains camera status infos.
