Panasonic DMC-GH4 Luminance Level, Checking areas that may be white saturated Zebra Pattern

Motion Picture

Using Advanced Settings and Recording Functions for Motion Pictures

[Luminance Level]

Applicable modes:

You can set the luminance range for motion pictures. When you combine multiple materials into a single motion picture, set a range that covers all materials.

> [Motion Picture] > [Luminance Level]

Settings: [0s255]/[16s235]/[16s255]

•This function works only for motion pictures. Still pictures (including those you take during motion picture recording) will be taken with [0s255].

•When [Rec Format] is set to [AVCHD] or [MP4], [0-255] in [Luminance Level] will switch to [16-255].

Checking areas that may be white saturated ([Zebra Pattern])

Applicable modes:

You can check areas that may be white saturated by displaying areas above a certain luminance level in a zebra pattern. You can also set the minimum luminance level (brightness) to be processed as a zebra pattern.

	>	[Custom] > [Zebra Pattern]
		Displays areas above a certain luminance level by a
[ZEBRA1]		right-leaning zebra pattern.
		Displays areas above a certain luminance level by a
[ZEBRA2]		left-leaning zebra pattern.
[OFF]		—

Sets the minimum brightness level for each zebra pattern.

[Zebra 1]/[Zebra 2]

Press 3/4 to select the brightness, and press [MENU/SET].

[SET] • You can select a brightness value between [50%] and [105%]. In [Zebra 2], you

can select [OFF]. If you select [100%] or [105%], only the areas that are already white saturated are displayed in a zebra pattern. The smaller the value is, the wider the brightness range to be processed as a zebra pattern will be.

•If there are any white saturated areas, we recommend compensating the exposure towards negative (P54) referring to the histogram (P103) and then taking the picture.

•Displayed zebra patterns will not be recorded.
