In the back position it’s in full manual mode that overrides the camera body switch.

See that Zebra 2 the lines are //////// highest point on the right and lowest on the left.   White clip default setting is 105% so the camera can record anything above 100%, so having zebra 2 set to 100% it indicates that last bit of range you have available when using the standard rec709 gamma.  It  is  recommended  that  when  you  are  using  hyper  gamma  1  or...

		October	2016	v4	24	  Histograms  Histograms measure blacks on the left, whites on the right and the height shows the level. A good image has an even spread with a bump in the middle for skin tones. To turn on the histograms, it is in the VF menu under displays on/off.           

		October	2016	v4	25	Histograms continued   Waveforms  To turn on the waveform, it is in the VF menu under displays on/off. This is important to have shown specially when using hyper gammas (Page 12) to expose middle grey at the correct level.        

		October	2016	v4	26	Below are examples of where highlights, shadows and skin tones should fall within the waveform using rec709 gamma.

		October	2016	v4	28	Slow and Quick Motion  Slow and quick motion (S&Q) increases the recording frame rate of the camera. Standard frame rate is 25 frames per second (FPS). This only works in progressive. The camera must in using the XAVC-I codec and the maximum frame rate is 150fps. Press the S&Q button on the left hand side of the camera to enable S&Q mode. Once S&Q is active it defaults to 60FPMenu > Recording > S&Q Motion To get beyond 60FPS you must go to high frame rate and activate full scan then...

		October	2016	v4	29	 ND Filters  There is a silver dial on the front left that controls the ND filters with the options of clear, ¼ = 2 stops, 1/16 = 4 stops and 1/64 = 6 stops.  What is a stop using ISO? Doubling the ISO number gives an increase of 1 stop, while halving gives it a decrease of 1 stop.  What is a stop using aperture? Because of the way f-numbers are calculated, a stop doesn't relate to a doubling or halving of the value, but to a multiplying or dividing by 1.41 (the square root of...

		October	2016	v4	30	 Gain Gain  is  an  electronic  amplification  of the  video  signal. This  means  that  the  signal  is  boosted electronically, adding more voltage to the pixels on your imager (CCD or CMOS) causing them to get amplify their intensity and therefore brighten your image.   Gain is measured in db with the following values and what they mean in terms of how many stops of light do they add  L +6dB = Adds 1 F Stop  M +12dB = Adds 2 F Stops  H +18dB = Adds 3 F Stops  On the left hand side...
