The False Color filteris used to aid in the setting of camera exposure. As the camera Iris isadjusted, elements of the image will change color based on theluminance or brightness values. This enables proper exposure to beachieved without the use of costly, complicated external testequipment. To best utilize this feature, you must understand the colorchart and have a basic understanding of camera exposure. Normally, whenshooting subjects like people, it is common practice to set exposure offaces to the equivalent of approximately 56 IRE. The False Color filterwill show this area as the color PINK on the monitor.

Therefore, as you increase exposure(open the IRIS), your subject will change color as indicated on thechart: PINK, then GREY, then a few shades of YELLOW. Overexposedsubjects (above 101 IRE) on the monitor will be shown as RED. Inaddition, underexposed subjects will show as DEEP-BLUE to DARK-BLUE,with clipped-blacks indicated with a FUCHSIA-like color. Lastly, thecolor GREEN is used to indicate elements of the image that areapproximately 45 IRE. This represents a "neutral" or "mid-level"exposure commonly used for objects (not people).
