Re: correct exposure indicator
Ah yes, that bar that would tell you what the camera thought what the right exposure should be, miss that too. I sold my xh-a1 some days and currently am burning all that money on accessories. :)
I hate to say it but that's gone my friend, you need to use your zebra's and the histogram to judge exposure from now on. |

HISTOGRAM! It's perfect! MUCH MUCH MUCH better than that little exposure bar!

Re: correct exposure indicator
The Histogram is without a doubt, the most accurate but what I find is you constantly need to switch it in and out as it takes up too much space on the screen all the time...I leave zebras on as my primary indicator and set them to 90% so that gives me a quite close idea of what is overexposed and what is not..with run 'n gun you normally have little chance to sit and study the exposure so I use zebras and then sometimes use the histogram to check critical stuff when the cam is tripod mounted.

Re: correct exposure indicator
I leave zebras, peaking and histogram on all the time. I wish I could assign a button to switch to black and white though as focusing is easier with B&W display.

Re: correct exposure indicator
Hi Jerome
Is there any room left to actually see what you are filming?? I too leave peaking on so my image is always full of yellow lines and dots ...zebras left on are no issue for me Chris |

Just Kidding. Yeah, not a problem for me. I'm used to it. Maybe from the 60d with Magic Lantern. I had the histogram on there with that. Speaking of, it would be nice to have the level indicator that Magic Lantern had on screen... that was nice. |

Re: correct exposure indicator
It's ok. I wish it was in between ML and what it is on this. Depending on how contrasty the scene is, I either have it set on Low or Medium.
