“Many of the semi pro and all of the pro camcorders use the zebra pattern to determine when parts of a scene is being understood as overexposed. It is used as an exposure guide. These are black & white diagonal lines which appear in the viewfinder area. This will usually appear on light sources, the sky or white objects. You will have to take measures to stop the excess light from overexposing your shot, (unless that is what you are going for). This could include reducing the light or adjusting the exposure settings of your camera. So go ahead and turn this function on, it helps!”
