On Screen Metering

Production Camera 4K features additional displays such as Recording Time Remaining, Histogram and
Peak Audio Meters to assist when setting optimum exposure and to prevent your audio from clipping.
View the additional displays by swiping up from the bottom of the touch screen with your finger. Hide
the additional displays by swiping down.
Histogram
The Histogram display shows the distribution of the luminance in your video. Pure black is on the far left
side of the display and pure white is on the far right of the display. Keeping your video signal within these
limits prevents your shadows and highlights from being clipped and preserves detail in the tonal ranges.

Recording Time Remaining
The Recording Time Remaining indicator shows the remaining recording time for your SSD. The time is
shown in hours and minutes and will vary according to your selected frame rate and codec, for example,
ProRes 422 (HQ) at 24 frames per second. The indicator will automatically recalculate if either of these
settings are changed. When there is approximately 5 minutes remaining on your SSD, the indicator will
turn RED, and will BLINK intermittently when there is only 2 minutes remaining.
Peak Audio Meters
The Peak Audio Meters display audio levels for channels 1 and 2 when using the internal microphone,
or via external audio when connected. The display is calibrated to dBFS units and features peak hold
indicators which stay visible for a short time so you can clearly see the maximum levels reached. To
achieve optimum audio quality, ensure your audio levels never rise above 0 dBFS. If your audio rises
above 0 dBFS, the peak hold indicators will turn red, indicating that audio is clipped.
