more information, go to “Motor Control” on page 103 .
NOTE: False color modes affect video recorded through HDMI or HD-SDI to an external recorder if the Tools
check box is selected in the Monitor Control menu. When recording through HDMI or HD-SDI, use false color
modes only to help configure project settings, and then disable the mode before recording.
OFF

EXPOSURE
Displays color overlay on top of a desaturated image that allows you to check for proper exposure. When
enabled, the “E√” indicator displays in the Lower Status Row.
The Exposure meter colors indicate the following information:
Purple: Underexposed; indicates sensor exposure levels that may be noisy if gained up in post-production.
Green: IRE 41–48; based on the RGB levels of the video out signal and not the RAW data.
Red: Overexposed; indicates sensor exposure levels that are clipping.
Purple (underexposure) and red (overexposure) are based on RAW data and show areas that are clipping or
close to clipping. The RGB settings (settings in the Look menu) DO NOT affect the Exposure indicators.
