for use:
Focus Assist, False Colour, Zebra Pattern and Blue Only Exposure are
enabled simply by touching the corresponding icon in the menu.
You can apply all filters to your monitor at the same time, however
can be set up individually for your needs
Focus Assist
Focus peaking allows the user to ensure their recordings are always
in focus. The parts of the image in focus are indicated by the selected
colour. This tool is very accurate.
You can change the focus peaking colors and modes in the settings.
Zebra
Zebra lines show the parts of the image that are over exposed
relevant to the % level set. 95% is usually used for objects, windows
and surfaces. 75% is used for checking over exposure of human
faces this will indicate reflective or shiny areas on the face.
False Colour
False Colour assigns different colors to areas of different exposure
in the image. Instead of just showing what parts of the image are
overexposed, it gives a more complete picture of what is going on in
the image by using a range of exposure values. Generally speaking,
overexposed elements will display as red, and underexposed
elements will display as blue.
The gradient between colour levels can be adjusted to have a
gradient or not. If gradient is not selected, the colour levels will
change instantly to the next colour level.
