The EXPOSURE meter’s color bands provide the following information:

PURPLE

Minimum Exposure

RED

Maximum Exposure

At all other sensor exposure values, the monochrome image displayed represents the luminance value of

the ISO adjusted image.

In this image, Purple areas represent sensor exposure levels that are likely to be noisy if gained up in post

production.

In this image, Red areas represent sensor exposure levels that are at clipping.

NOTE: As EXPOSURE meters sensor RAW information, it is not affected by any RGB domain ad-
justments - such as ISO rating, FLUT, White Balance, Video Gain or other LOOK information.
NOTE: Because the RAW data represents a wider color space than RGB, provided that the Red

(clip) color is not present in EXPOSURE view, even if Red (clip) color is present in VIDEO view, the
apparently clipped RGB highlights can be recovered in post production by adjustment of ISO, FLUT

or changing the KNEE and WHITE values of the CURVE box.
