Zebra pattern

When [Zebra] is set to [On] in the (Setup) menu (page 80), and the histogram is displayed,

the zebra pattern (diagonal stripes) is displayed on high brightness level portions (where

luminance exceeds a certain level and loses the tone). Adjust the exposure checking the

portions indicated by the zebra pattern.

• The zebra pattern is not recorded on an image.

z Shooting techniques

While shooting images, the camera automatically determines the exposure. When shooting a whitish

overall image such as a backlit subject or a snowy scene, the camera judges that the subject is bright and

may set a darker exposure for the image. In such cases, adjustment of the exposure in the + plus direction

is effective.

When shooting a darker overall image, the camera judges that the subject is dark and may set a brighter

exposure for the image. In such cases, adjustment of the exposure in the – minus direction is effective.

You can check the exposure referring to the histogram chart. Be careful not to overexpose or underexpose

your subject (giving a whitish or darkish image).

You can try to adjust the exposure to suit your taste.
