Using with the Zebra Pattern

You can set the camcorder to display a zebra pattern (diagonal stripes) in the portion of the picture in

the viewfinder with a subject whose brightness exceeds a certain level.  The portion of the picture

where 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.  Use the zebra pattern as a guide for adjusting the

exposure (iris) and shutter speed so that you can get the desired picture.
