The RAW RGB Exposure Meter displays the quantity of over-exposed or under-exposed pixels in each of the separate red, green, and blue channels of the raw sensor data.
The top and bottom RGB lights illuminate when a small number 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 ND, Iris, Gain, or shutter speed to compensate, or change the scene's lighting for the best, balanced image.
Camera Designation and REC Indicator
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). The color of this area indicates when the camera recording is ready (black), when the camera is recording (red), and when the recording is stopped and the camera is adding the pre-recording (yellow).
