False Color: 
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
False color is used for setting the correct exposure level or ISO 
setting on your camera. It is important to use false color when 
you are shooting in low light and direct light situations because if 
your shot is severely under/overexposed you may not have to re-
shoot an entire scene of your video. This is how you use this 
feature. 
 
To activate False Color press MENU scroll to the Advanced Tab 
and turn the False Color slider to the ON position hit MENU again 
to activate it. To deactivate it follow the reverse procedure. If you 
have a HD089BV2 or HD089CV2 you can assign a hotkey to this 
feature under the setup tab. 
 
Completely underexposed or completely pitch black objects will 
be totally white (0-2 IRE). 
 
The very dark shadows, black colored objects and barely visible 
objects in shadows will be Blue & Light Blue (2-20 IRE). 
 
Lighter shadows & dark colors such as a dark grey or a shadow on 
the side of a face or object will show up as Dark Grey & Bright 
Purple (21-48 IRE) 
. 
The object of your video such as an object or persons face should 
be, Medium Grey, Green & Light Grey (48-78 IRE). 
 
Heavily lit areas ones where it appears to be in direct contact with 
light will display as Dark Yellow & Yellow (78-84 IRE)

your video will display as Orange & Red (85-108 IRE)
