■ Peaking Co lor
When Peaking Mode is enabled, the monitor will add color to sharply defined edges and objects in an image. This is
intended as a tool to aid in judging sharp camera focus. When a camera is adjusted for best focus, the object of interest
will have colored edges. Choose from 5 Peaking Colors: Red, Green, Blue, White, or Black. Normally, this function is
turned on only as long as needed for focus adjustment and then turned off for normal monitor operation.

■ Exposure
Turn ‘ON’ to enable Exposure Level mode.
■ Exposure Level
The Exposure Level setting ranges from 0 to 100. This function mimics the “zebra pattern” display that is often used in
many camera viewfinders. It provides a quick check for proper camera exposure. When it is turned ON, diagonal lines
will appear in the image areas where the brightness matches the level Exposure Level setting. This is useful when a
camera angle has been changed and it is important to keep certain objects at the same brightness. On a typical video
scale of 0 – 100, the Exposure number relation is shown in the table below. That is, “zebra patterns” appearing on the
image indicates that the area covered by the zebra pattern matches or exceeds the selected video level.
■ Histogram
Use to enable the Histogram mode. Options: OFF, Y (shown), RGB (with color), Color (RGB colors individually shown).
The Histogram display is similar to displays used in DSLR cameras and desktop color processing applications. It
provides a graphic representation of the amount of dark, mid and light tones in an image. It is useful for comparing the
average “balance” between different “real” images, not test patterns.
