Video Scopes108Video ScopesThe camera can display a simplified waveform monitor or a vectorscope to check your recordings. The selectedvideo scope is displayed on the screen and can be output to other monitoring devices as well.Displaying a Video ScopePress the WFM button to turn the video scope on/off.• You can change the video scope displayed (waveform monitor orvectorscope) with the > [A Assistance Functions] >[WFM Function] setting.• Alternatively, you can use the > [A Assistance Functions]> [WFM: VIDEO Term.], [WFM: EVF-V50] and [WFM: MON./HDMI]settings to turn the video scope on/off separately on the LCDscreen, an optional viewfinder or external monitors, respectively.• By default, the video scope will appear on the right of the screen.Using the > [A Assistance Functions] > [Waveform Settings] or [Vectorscope Settings] > [Position]settings, you can select where to display each video scope (left or right side).Configuring the Waveform Monitor1 Select > [A Assistance Functions] > [WFM Function] > [Waveform Monitor].2 Select > [A Assistance Functions] > [Waveform Settings] > [Type] > Desired option.• If you selected an option other than [Select Line], skip to step 5.3 Select > [A Assistance Functions] > [Waveform Settings] > [Select Line].4 Enter the Y coordinate of the line you want to display using the data entry screen (A 60).• The available range of lines that can be selected depends on the vertical component of the resolution used.For 3140: 0 to 3138 (in 2-line increments)For 2160: 0 to 2158 (in 2-line increments)For 1080: 0 to 1079 (in 1-line increments)5 Select > [A Assistance Functions] > [Waveform Settings] > [Vertical Scale for HDR] > [IRE]or [PQ/HLG].• Select the Y axis (luminance) scale used when displaying the waveform monitor of an HDR (high dynamicrange) image (PQ or HLG standard defined by ITU-R BT.2100).6 Select > [A Assistance Functions] > [Waveform Settings] > [Gain] > [1x] or [2x].• If you selected [1x], the rest of the procedure is not necessary. If you selected [2x], the display range of thewaveform monitor’s Y axis will be reduced by half. Continue the procedure to select the minimum luminancevalue (in %) shown on the Y axis.7 Select > [A Assistance Functions] > [Waveform Settings] > [Y Position] > Desired option.Options for [Type][Line]: Sets the waveform monitor to line display mode.[Line+Spot]: The waveform of the area in the red frame is displayed in red on top of the [Line] modewaveform.[Select Line]: The selected horizontal line (in red) will be displayed along with its waveform.[RGB]: Shows 3 side-by-side waveforms in an RGB parade.[YPbPr]: Shows 3 side-by-side waveforms in a YPbPr parade.
