1 |
RAW Level Bar (left)1 |
Also known as a “goal post”. Displays the amount of pixels in the image that are underexposed (noise) |
|
2 |
RAW Level Bar (right)1 |
Also known as a “goal post”. Displays the amount of pixels in the image that are overexposed (clipping) |
|
3 |
RGB Histogram |
Provides a visual representation of exposure and sensor data levels for red, green, and blue channels; meter is affected by White Balance, ISO, and VIEW/LOOK settings |
|
4 |
RAW Clip Meter |
Also known as “traffic lights”. Provides a visual representation of exposure and sensor data levels for red, green, and blue channels; Circles (traffic lights) will light up when clipping occurs |
- The RAW Level Bars represent 1/4 of the total pixels in the image, and illustrate the number of pixels that are noisy or clipped in relation to the total number of pixels. For example, if the left RAW Level Bar is 1/8 of the total height, that means that approximately 1/32 of the total pixels in the total image are at an exposure level that is at risk of displaying noise when pushed to higher ISO or FLUT® values in post production.
