Using the zebra pattern
You can set the digital camcorder to display a zebra pattern (diagonal stripes) [a] in the portion of the picture in the viewfinder where the brightness exceeds a certain level. The portion of the picture where the zebra pattern appears is an area of high brightness and overexposure. You can check the picture level of a subject by displaying the zebra pattern.
Before you start recording, use the zebra pattern as a guide for adjusting the aperture, gain, and shutter speed.
