[
SET
]
- Sets the minimum brightness level for each zebra pattern.
Select a brightness value using [SET]
- You can select a brightness value between [ 50% ] and [ 105% ]. In [ Zebra 2 ], you can select [ OFF ]. If you select [ 100% ] or [ 105% ], only the areas that are already white saturated are displayed in a zebra pattern. The smaller the value is, the wider the brightness range to be processed as a zebra pattern will be.
Notes
- If there are any white saturated areas, we recommend compensating the exposure towards negative referring to the histogram and then taking the picture.
- Displayed zebra patterns will not be recorded.

If you assign [
Zebra Pattern
] to [

] in the [
Custom
] ([
Operation
]) menu, each time you press the function button to which the setting is assigned, the zebra pattern toggles as follows:
- [ ZEBRA1 ] → [ ZEBRA2 ] → [ OFF ]
- When [ ZEBRA2 ] is set to [ OFF ], the setting toggles in the order of [ ZEBRA1 ] → [ OFF ], allowing you to switch the setting quickly.
