Zebra & Peaking

Zebra is an exposure indicator that can used when filming, it's a special function the camera can do. It indicates what's burnt out in your frame using thin black lines so you can adjust your exposure accordingly.



The way you measure it is like so -

• 0% is black
• 100% is pure white

Neither have any detail.

The standard TV broadcast setting is usually set at 70% but when trying to create film it's recommended to be cranked up to 80%.

Peaking is a function that helps you get the right focus. This is indicated using a red outline around the things that are in focus. On some cameras peaking appears blue.
