Zebra
The ‘zebra’ setting toggles the appearance of zebra on the LCD touchscreen, as well as setting
the zebra level for the HDMI output.
Zebra displays diagonal lines over areas of your image that exceed a set exposure level.
Forexample, setting zebra to 100% shows which areas are completely overexposed. This is
useful for achieving optimum exposure in fixed lighting conditions.

Set the level that zebra appears at by dragging the slider left and right, or tapping the arrow buttons

middle gray plus one stop, then in five percent increments from 75 to 100 percent exposure.
For information on enabling zebra on your camera’s HDMI output, see the ‘monitor settings’
section in this manual.
TIP If you’re shooting in variable light such as outdoors on a partly overcast day,
setting your zebra level lower than 100 can warn you of potential overexposure.
