Waveform

The waveform displayed on the camera indicates the luminance as values based on the conversions below:

0 % (IRE character_asterisk ): Luminance value 16 (8 bit)

100 % (IRE character_asterisk ): Luminance value 235 (8 bit)

IRE: Institute of Radio Engineers

(A) 109 % (IRE) (Dotted line)

(B) 100 % (IRE)

(D) 0 % (IRE)

(E) −4 % (IRE) (Dotted line)

(F) The range between 0 % and 100 % shows dotted lines at intervals of 10 %.
