Blue Only Exposure
Blue only displays a greyscale image based on the blue channel of the

as sensor noise is most visible in this channel.
Cinema Guides / Safe Areas / Anamorphic De-Squeeze
You can cycle through your required cine or TV frame guides by repeat-
edly pressing the guides icon. Action safe area and title safe areas can
then be turned on and are proportional to the frame guides based on
SMPTE standards.
How to use

through your chosen aspect ratio. The aspect ratio markers are very
useful with the 2 x Anamorphic De-Squeeze to preview and crops that

Action area and again for the title safe area.
