FALSE COLOR VIDEO MODE
NOTE: For best results, Video Mode should be viewed at or above ISO 800.
Video Mode displays a color overlay that indicates the video level of the RGB monitor path (calibrated to the SMPTE
test signal).
The colors used are based on the RGB levels of the video out signal (that is, the “cooked” look, and not RAW data). The
camera's RGB settings can change the appearance of the Video Mode colors.
The Video Mode colors represent the following IRE values (at all other values, the desaturated image represents the
luminance value of the ISO adjusted image):
Purple: IRE 0–4
Blue: IRE 5
Teal: IRE 10–12
Green: IRE 41–48
Pink: IRE 61–70
Straw: IRE 92–93
Yellow: IRE 94–95
Orange: IRE 96–98
Red: IRE 99–100
For more information, refer to Exposure in the How To section.
Green is where you will want 18% gray, Pink is typically the brightness of Caucasian skin tones, Straw, Yellow, and
Orange are strong highlights and increasingly closer to white, Teal is deep shadows and Blue is on the verge of
becoming untextured black. In general, Pink and Green are most helpful when calibrating based on a known reference,
whereas the other colors indicate the extremes of a tonal range.
A potential disadvantage of False Color Video mode is that all the false colors can distract from the underlying preview.
Many prefer to use this mode only during initial set-up, and then they use False Color Exposure Mode under a wider
range of scenarios.
IN PRACTICE
In False Color Exposure Mode, use the purple and red indicators to adjust your lighting or lens aperture. Use this
strategy to achieve an optimal balance between clipping from overexposure and image noise from underexposure. With
most scenes, you can often have a surprising range of exposure latitude before excessive red or purple indicators begin
to appear.
If necessary, use False Color Video mode or Zebra Modes to fine-tune how the scene will appear over SDI, or use it to
adjust your suggested look when sending footage for post-production.
The Zebra and Video modes are also an objective way to assess the scene exposure under varying ambient light
without relying on the LCD image to evaluate brightness.
PEAKING
