What Is CINEZONE?

CINEZONE False Colors Display

 

Instant view of your lighting conditions and easy determination of exposure zones. 

CINEZONE overlays false colors on the image—the colors are determined based on the scale on the left; blue indicates near-zero values, red indicates values at 100%.  This helps confirm your camera is reproducing what you expect.  As a side benefit, shadows are highlighted in blue, making it a lot easier to examine shadow detail using the CINEZONE display.

Adjustable upper and lower limits add black and white color overlay to indicate “under exposed” and “over exposed” conditions without having to reference the waveform monitor.
