ITEM
DETAILS
Use false colors to determine an optimal balance between overexposure and
underexposure.
Access scene exposure in varying light without relying on the LCD image brightness.
NOTE:
False Color modes display on video recorded through SDI to an external recorder when the Tools are enabled in
the Monitor menu. When recording through SDI, use False Color modes only to help determine scene exposure
settings, and then disable the mode before recording.
FALSE COLOR EXPOSURE MODE
When this monitoring
mode is activated, most of the tonal range will appear in monochrome.
The Exposure Mode is able to indicate exactly where middle gray is falling, and indicate which highlights or shadows
are problematic in the logarithmic representation of the image. Exposure mode is judging the exposure after ISO and
White Balance adjustments are made, and before any sort of LUT or transform is applied to the Log3G10 image.
RED FALSE COLOR OVERLAY
When the False Color Mode overlays the color red within the subject of interest, or anywhere except bright lights and
direct reflections, then the image is likely overexposed. When the False Color Mode does not overlay the color red on
the image, then the exposure is likely okay for the selected ISO.
PURPLE FALSE COLOR OVERLAY
When the False Color Mode overlays the color purple on key image detail that is not located in the shadows, then the
scene is likely underexposed. When the False Color Mode does not overlay the color purple on the image, then the
exposure is likely okay for the selected ISO.
