■ Peaking Color

When Peaking Mode is enabled, the monitor will add color to sharply defined edges and objects in an image. This is

intended as a tool to aid in judging sharp camera focus. When a camera is adjusted for best focus, the object of interest

will have colored edges. Choose from 5 Peaking Colors: Red, Green, Blue, White, or Black. Normally, this function is

turned on only as long as needed for focus adjustment and then turned off for normal monitor operation.

scene or lighting situation and another.

■ Exposure

Turn ‘ON’ to enable Exposure Level mode.

■ Exposure Level

The Exposure Level setting ranges from 0 to 100. This function mimics the “zebra pattern” display that is often used in

many camera viewfinders. It provides a quick check for proper camera exposure. When it is turned ON, diagonal lines

will appear in the image areas where the brightness matches the level Exposure Level setting. This is useful when a

camera angle has been changed and it is important to keep certain objects at the same brightness. On a typical video

scale of 0 – 100, the Exposure number relation is shown in the table below. That is, “zebra patterns” appearing on the

image indicates that the area covered by the zebra pattern matches or exceeds the selected video level.

The Histogram display is similar to displays used in DSLR cameras and desktop color processing applications. It

average “balance” between different “real” images, not test patterns.
