Using Waveform Monitoring tools (WFM)
Luma Waveform
The Luma or Luminance Waveform is a great way to visualize the dynamic
range of your image, allowing you to protect exposure of both your highlights
and shadow detail. It’s particularly useful when shooting with a low contrast
LOG curve and works in perfect partnership with HDR to illustrate the
highlight clipping point to allow you to correctly expose you image.
RGB Waveform
RGB Waveform will monitor the level of Red, Green and Blue from an input
source. The RGB channels are displayed side by side and each channel color is
shown under the corresponding waveform. This can be used to check to the
whitebalance.JustpointthecameraatsomethingwhiteandtheRed,Green
and Blue levels should match if white balance is setup correctly on the camera.
The Waveform Monitor will remain on screen when hiding the overlays
ensuring the focus remains on calibrating your image. If the MON
button is pressed the WFM will move in to the bottom icon line up.
Vectorscope
The Vectorscope display shows color information of hue (shown as a
phase vector), and saturation (measured by outward distance from the
center). This is useful for checking if an image is under or over saturated
and for calibrating multiple cameras to ensure greater consistency
between shots.
Vectorscope Zoom
The Vectorscope Zoom shows a scaled up view (x8) of the center of the
vectorscope.
