Surround view The ALEV III sensor has 10% additional pixels
outside the recorded image for a better monitoring
experience. The user can decide whether he wants to
see these 10% in the viewfinder or not. By switching
surround view on, objects that are not wanted in the
image, such as microphone booms, can be seen by
the operator before they enter the image.

desqueeze
Only shown if a license for anamorphic desqueeze is
active in the camera. The desqueeze can correct the
image for 1.3x and 2.0x lenses. With 2.0x lenses, the
user can choose from seeing the full sensor image
(2.0x), or only the relevant image area (2.0xmag)
while left and right image parts outside the 2.39
aspect area are cropped.
Zoom position The part of the image which is magnified when
pressing the ZOOM button on the viewfinder can be
set to the center of the sensor image, or a vertically
upwards shifted area (Eye level). The Eye level
setting allows focus check on a person's eyes.

Frame lines + status info screen
Frame lines Frame lines are a reference for framing that typically
consist of an image frame, a center mark and an
aspect ratio reference. See the appendix for more
information on the ALEXA frame line format.
Surround mask If surround view is set to "On", it must be separated
from the recorded image area to allow proper
framing. Users can choose from different mask
levels, or a black or colored line for separation.
Center mark A center mark, either a cross or a dot can be added
to the image to help the framing.
