Scopes#
Tap the monitoring tools key, or the scope tile, in the lower-left group to open the scopes panel. Choose a scope with the tabs (1–4) and an overlay with the tools (5–8).
| Scope | Shows | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Luma (HISTOGRAM) | How brightness is distributed. ▼ and ▲ give the share of pixels at the very bottom and top; each turns red at 1 % or more. | 0–100 |
| Parade (RGB PARADE) | Red, green and blue side by side, left to right across the frame. | IRE 0–100 |
| Wave (WAVEFORM) | Brightness (luma) across the frame, left to right. | IRE 0–100 |
| Vector (VECTORSCOPE) | Color direction and saturation, with boxes where 75 % color bars land; the dashed outer ring is 100 %. | 75 % / 100 % |
Exposure and focus tools#
The tools (5–8 in the scopes panel) draw one overlay at a time on the picture. Tap the active tool again to turn it off; the Assist Line confirms, for example Zebra On. Your choice returns when you reopen Pro, and a preset can set it. Thresholds are fixed.

| Tool | Marks | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ZEBRA | Pale diagonal stripes on everything at 70 % and above, fully drawn from 72.5 %. | One level only; it also marks areas above 100 %. |
| F-COLOR | Nine bands of color by level, from deep purple below 2 % to magenta at 95 % and above. | Drawn over the picture at 90 %. |
| CLIP | Red at 95 % and above, blue at 5 % and below. | Both fully drawn 2 % past the threshold. |
| PEAK | Red outlines on sharp detail. | Sensitivity is fixed. Settings › Interface Settings › Focus Peaking with Zoom shows it while you zoom. |
Scopes and tools on HLG and Apple Log#
The scopes and tools read the camera's source signal, independent of the selected Log View; the table gives each one's treatment of HLG and Apple Log. IRE in the scopes means percent of the video signal range; values above 100 or below 0 are not shown.
| Tool | HLG | Apple Log |
|---|---|---|
| ZEBRA | 70 % of the HLG signal. | The scene level that reads 70 % on Rec.709, about 61 % of the Log signal (exact for neutral gray). It marks exposure, not clipping. |
| F-COLOR | Bands follow the HLG signal. | Bands follow the Log signal, so normal exposure sits lower: black reads cyan and 18 % gray yellow-green. |
| CLIP | Thresholds on the HLG signal. | Thresholds on the Log signal: blue does not appear, and red only on extreme highlights. |
| PEAK | Measured on the HLG signal. | Measured after converting to Rec.709 levels, so it behaves as on Rec.709. |
| Luma ▼ ▲ | Measured on the HLG signal. | Measured on the Log signal, not the sensor: the sensor can clip before ▲ rises. |
