DISPLAY
The Display menu permits the operator to adjust the GUI elements displayed on the Viewfinder output(s)
Available options are FALSE COLOR, ZERA, OVERLAY, MODES, FRAME GUIDE, AREA GUIDES, and
MONITOR.
FALSE COLOR
When selected, forces the Viewfinder output(s) to display one of three false color modes - EXPOSURE,
VIDEO, FOCUS - plus RAW and MAGNIFY view modes. Default is OFF.
EXPOSURE
EXPOSURE displays a 2-color overlay that allows you to check minimum and maximum exposure levels
of the RAW sensor data, and hence prevent underexposed or overexposed images. When selected, the
icon “E√” will be displayed in the Lower Status Group.
The EXPOSURE meter’s color bands provide the following information:
PURPLE Minimum Exposure
RED Maximum Exposure
Between minimum and maximum exposure values, the image is displayed as a monochrome image.
