Menu Settings
The push button 'menu' dial allows you to enter the menu by pressing it, whilst rotating the dial
navigates up and down through the menu options. Pressing the 'menu' dial whilst a menu
heading is highlighted, will allow you to switch between the display, shortcuts, setup and cursor
sub menus. Rotating the dial will scroll through the settings in each menu. Pressing the dial
when a setting is highlighted allows you to adjust that setting by rotating the 'menu' dial.
Confirm your selection by pressing the 'menu' dial once more. You can exit out of the menu by
hitting the 'back' button or by navigating to and selecting exit.
Display
Zebra
Switches zebra levels on and off. The level of zebra will be determined by the setting on your
URSA Mini, in the 'All' section of the 'Monitor' menu. When the Studio Viewfinder is not
connected with URSA Mini, the zebra level will represent 95% of the luminance levels of a
Rec 709 signal. For more information, refer to the 'settings' section in this manual.
False Color
Switches the false color feature on and off. False color overlays different colors onto your image
that represent exposure values for different elements in your image. For example, pink
represents optimum exposure for light skin tones, while green is a good match to darker skin
tones. By monitoring the pink or green false color when recording people, you can maintain
consistent exposure for skin tones. Similarly, when elements in your image change from yellow
to red, that means they are now over exposed. False color is a good feature to assign to one of
the function buttons, as it provides quick and easy access to a commonly used reference tool
for exposure.
False Color Chart
Guides
This setting gives you the option to show or hide your guides. The guides will match the style of
guides that have been set in the URSA Mini in the camera 'all' section of the 'monitor' menu.
