consist of an image frame, a center cross and an aspect ratio
reference. See the appendix for more information on the ALEXA

Frame Lines
Frame lines are an image overlay that can be applied to either the EVF
image, the MON OUT image, or both.
ALEXA frame lines are stored as XML files containing definitions what
the frame lines look like.
The camera contains default frame lines for 1.33:1, 1.78:1, 1.85:1 and
2.35:1 aspect ratios. Additional frame lines can be loaded from the SD
card.
• Frame lines: Shows a list of all frame lines currently stored in the
camera.
• Color: In the frame lines definition file, lines can either be given a
fixed color, or they can have the color specified as "User". If
"User" is chosen for a line, the setting chosen in this menu
section is applied to the line.
Note: Default frame lines have "User" specified as color for all content.
• Intensity: Sets the intensity of the frame lines. The higher the
number, the brighter the frame lines appear.
