Shooting with the zebra pattern
You can set the camcorder to display a zebra pattern (diagonal stripes) in the portion of the
picture on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder with a subject whose brightness exceeds a
certain level. The portion of the picture where zebra pattern appears is an area of high
brightness and overexposure. You can check the picture level of a subject by displaying the
zebra pattern. Use the zebra pattern as a guide for adjusting the exposure and shutter speed
