[SEC/ISO]

Displays the shutter speed in seconds and the gain in ISO.

[ANGLE/ISO]

Displays the shutter speed in degrees and the gain in ISO.

The angle can be set in a range between 11° and 357°.

(when [Synchro Scan] is set to [OFF])

When recording with [Variable Frame Rate], the angle can be set in the following ranges, according to the frame rate setting:

The setting items for gain (sensitivity) are as follows:

– Normal: [AUTO], [0dB] to [42dB]

– When [Extended Gain Setting] is set: [−6dB] to [42dB]

– When [Dynamic Range Boost] is set: [0dB] to [24dB]

[0dB] in gain (sensitivity) equates to the following in ISO sensitivity:

– Normal: ISO100 (when [Dynamic Range Boost] is set: ISO800)

– When [V-Log]/[Hybrid Log Gamma] is set in [Photo Style]: ISO250 (when [Dynamic Range Boost] is set: ISO2000)

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
