The optimum level of focus assistance varies shot by shot. When focusing on actors, for

example, a higher level of focus assistance can help resolve edge detail in faces. A shot of

foliage or brickwork, on the other hand, may show distracting amounts of focus information

athigher settings.

For information on enabling focus assist on your camera’s front and main SDI outputs, see the

‘monitor settings’ section in this manual.

TIP Your URSA Broadcast G2 has two focus assist modes. You can switch between

‘peaking’ and ‘colored lines’ focus assistance in the ‘monitor’ settings menu. Formore

information, see the ‘monitor settings’ section and the ‘focus assist’ section.
