Onscreen Markers and Zebra Patterns
Using onscreen markers allows you to make sure your subject is correctly framed and is within the appropriate
safe area. The zebra patterns help you identify areas that are overexposed. The onscreen displays and zebra
pattern appear on the camera screen and an external monitor connected to the MON. 1 terminal. The onscreen
markers and zebra pattern will not affect recordings made on a CF card or the signal output from the 3G-SDI
and MON. 2 terminals.

onscreen markers simultaneously.
