RGB Exposure Meter displays the quantity of over or under exposed pixels in each of the separate red, green, and blue channels.

The top and bottom RGB lights illuminate when a small amount of pixels on the sensor are overexposed or underexposed. This indicates that a small number of pixels in the image are too bright and will not contain any detail, or are too dark and will appear as noise.

The bars show the quantity of overexposed and underexposed RGB pixels on the sensor. Adjust the settings in the camera such as Iris, or shutter speed to compensate, or change the scene's lighting for the best balanced image.

The Camera Designation and Record indicator on the LCD home page displays the camera letter assigned to the camera (refer to Slate and Camera ID).
