False Color Modes: Exposure

To enable, go to Menu > Overlays > Tools > False Color and select Exposure from the False Color drop-down menu.

The Exposure tool displays a color overlay on top of a desaturated image that allows you to check for proper exposure. When enabled, the “E√” indicator displays in the Lower Status Row.

The Exposure meter colors indicate the following information:

• Purple: Underexposed; indicates sensor exposure levels that may be noisy if gained up in post production.
• Green: IRE 41–48; based on the RGB levels of the video out signal and not the RAW data.
• Red: Overexposed; indicates sensor exposure levels that are clipping.

Purple (underexposure) and red (overexposure) are based on RAW data and show areas that are clipping or close to clipping. The RGB settings DO NOT affect the Exposure indicators.
