EXPOSURE 
This will show areas of under exposure (Purple) or over exposure (Red) on top of a monochrome image. 
The color is based on RAW data so over/under exposure refers to data actually close to clipping in the 
sensor. When selected, the icon “E√” will be displayed in the Lower Status Group. 
The EXPOSURE meter’s color bands provide the following information: 
PURPLE 
Minimum Exposure 
RED 
Maximum Exposure 
Between minimum and maximum exposure values, the image is displayed as a monochrome image. 
In the image, Purple areas represent sensor exposure levels that are likely to be noisy if gained up in 
post-production. Red areas represent sensor exposure levels that are at clipping. 
NOTE: As EXPOSURE meters sensor RAW  information, it is not affected by any RGB domain 
adjustments - such as ISO rating, FLUT, White Balance, Video Gain or other LOOK information. 
NOTE: Because the RAW data represents a wider color space than RGB, provided that the Red 
(clip) color is not present in EXPOSURE view, even if Red (clip) color is present in VIDEO view, the 
apparently clipped RGB highlights can be recovered in post-production  by adjustment of ISO, 
FLUT or changing the KNEE and WHITE values of the CURVE box.
