Basic camera settings
Thus, the clipping and zebra displays facilitate easy recognition of
affected parts of the image and precise adjustment of the exposure
setting.
In order to customize these displays to match specific conditions
or your compositional ideas, you can determine their threshold
level, i.e. at which degree of overexposure they appear.
Setting the function
1. In the menu's
SETUP section, select Capture Assistants,
2. in the submenu
Clipping / Zebra definition, and
3. in the respective submenu,
Upper limit, or Off if this display
should not appear.
4. If you selected
Upper limit, set the desired threshold value in
the setting screen with the click wheel or the joystick:
– click wheel turn in the desired direction, or press for
single-digit advance
– joystick press left or right in the desired direction, or
inwards for single-digit advance
The values are arranged in an endless loop.
Notes:
• The histogram is always based on the displayed brightness, i.e.
depending on other settings, it may not represent the final
exposure.
• In recording mode the histogram should be regarded as a "trend
indicator" and not as a depiction of the exact numbers of pixels.
• For a picture with flash, the histogram cannot represent the final
exposure as the flash is fired after it is displayed.
• When viewing a picture, the histogram may differ slightly from
that shown when taking the picture.
• The histogram is not available for simultaneous review of several
reduced pictures or for enlarged pictures.
• The clipping display is available when viewing both the entire
picture and a section of it, but not when simultaneously viewing
12 or 30 reduced pictures.
• The clipping display always relates to the detail of the part of the
picture currently being displayed.
