Zebra

The ‘zebra’ setting toggles the appearance of zebra on the LCD touchscreen, as well as setting

the zebra level for the HDMI output.

Zebra displays diagonal lines over areas of your image that exceed a set exposure level.

Forexample, setting zebra to 100% shows which areas are completely overexposed. This is

useful for achieving optimum exposure in fixed lighting conditions.

Tap the ‘zebra’ icon while accessing ‘LCD monitor options’ to access the zebra settings

To toggle zebra for the LCD touchscreen, tap the switch icon in the bottom left of the screen

while in the ‘zebra’ tab.

Set the exposure level that zebra appears at by dragging the slider left and right, or tapping the

arrow buttons next to the zebra level percentage. Zebra level is adjustable in five percent steps

between 75 and 100 percent exposure.

For information on enabling zebra on your camera’s HDMI output, see the ‘monitor settings’

section in this manual.

TIP If you’re shooting in variable light such as outdoors on a partly overcast day,

setting your zebra level lower than 100 can warn you of potential overexposure.

Focus Assist

The ‘focus assist’ setting toggles the appearance of focus assist on the LCD touchscreen,

aswell as setting the level of focus assistance for the HDMI output on your Blackmagic Pocket

Cinema Camera.

Tap the ‘focus assist’ icon while accessing ‘LCD monitor

options’ toaccess your camera’s focus assist settings

To toggle focus assistance for the LCD touchscreen, tap the switch icon in the bottom left of the

screen while in the ‘focus assist’ tab.

To set the level of focus assistance for the HDMI output on your camera, tap the ‘low,’ ‘medium’

or ‘high’ titles along the bottom of the touchscreen.

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 HDMI output, see the ‘monitor

settings’ section in this manual.
