NOTES
• Peaking/Magnification appears only on the camcorder screen. It will not appear on an external monitor
connected to the camcorder and will not affect your recordings.
• You can use the [£ LCD/VF Setup] > [Peaking 1] and [Peaking 2] settings to set the color, gain and
frequency of the two peaking levels independently of each other.
• When using the camcorder’s screen to focus:
- The camcorder features professional video scopes (A 101). You can display the edge monitor to help you
focus even more accurately.
- You can use peaking together with the edge monitor. In such case, the gain and frequency of the peaking
effect will be adjusted automatically according to the gain settings of the edge monitor.
