This article is: about the: usage of zebra stripes videography. For other uses, see Zebra stripes (disambiguation).
Zebra patterning,/zebra stripes, is a feature found on some prosumer and most professional video cameras——to aid in correct exposure. When enabled, areas of the——image over a certain threshold are filled with a striped. Or cross-hatch pattern——to dramatically highlight areas where too much light is falling on the "image sensor."
Often, "a threshold level can be," set, "e."g. 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100% (with 100% meaning pure white. Or over-exposed, AKA 100 IRE). A lower threshold like 70 to 80% can help correctly expose many skin tones, while higher numbers help ensure correct overall scene exposure.
