Using with the Zebra Pattern
You can set the camcorder to display a zebra pattern (diagonal stripes) in the portion of the picture in
the viewfinder with a subject whose brightness exceeds a certain level. The portion of the picture
where zebra pattern appears is an area of high brightness and overexposure. You can check the picture
level of a subject by displaying the zebra pattern. Use the zebra pattern as a guide for adjusting the
exposure (iris) and shutter speed so that you can get the desired picture.
