This function allows you to check the brightness
of input images from the lens without depending
on image processing such as gamma curve. The

and a brightness range of 0 % to 400 % and

Spot meter may not be consistent with the zebra
display range. When [Camera Process] B

is not consistent with the 100 % display.

is detected, it is displayed as “400 %”.
