Function Buttons

Interactive Overlays
EI, ND, FPS, WB, and SHUTTER can be changed by interacting with the camera's corresponding overlay. If you tap one of these fields, the monitor will display a drop-down list to change it to a different value. NOTE: These controls can only be adjusted with a camera control license for the camera you are using. The camera control license is sold separately.
EL Zone
EL Zone is a stop-based exposure map tool—developed in collaboration with legendary cinematographer Ed Lachman, ASC that works like a virtual spot meter, replacing IRE exposure values with stops. Sensor data from the camera provides a reference point, and a false color represents each stop above and below 18% gray, allowing for easier, more intuitive on-set communication.
EL Zone is only possible to use if you are feeding your SmallHD monitor a Log signal. It doesn’t work if you are inputting a signal with a LUT enabled.
To enable EL Zone, make sure you create a color pipe in your monitor's settings menu. You will need to send the monitor a LOG signal and select the log signal that you will be sending it. NOTE: Make sure you select "Do Not Convert" in the Color pipe options.
Capacitive Touch Dials
Touching the dials reveals assigned functions and values before making adjustments. Pressing the dial inward will reset to the function's default value.
- Dial Editing Functions - Press and Hold the dial, select the desired function from the DIAL ASSIGNMENT menu, and press the dial again to select. Functions can be assigned to All Pages (by default)
or a Single Page, which will assign the function to a specific tool within a page only.
The assigned tool-specific function icon will turn green to designate its selection for the specific page. The Dial LEDs follow the function color scheme found in the menu to help visually identify assigned tools (Blue indicates ALL PAGES and Green indicates SINGLE PAGE operation).
