Steadicam Pilot Monitor and XH-A1 Zebras
This may really belong in the Canon XH-A1 forum, so if it disappears from here (the Stabilizers forum), I'll understand.
While operating my new Steadicam Pilot, I noticed that I couldn't get the A1's Zebras to show up on the Pilot's monitor. Is there a setting I'm missing which enables the Zebras to be shown via the Composite video Out socket on the back of the camera? Thanks. |

I don't have the XH-A1, but my HVX has the same issue. Zebras only appear on the camera's LCD.
I actually use both LCD monitors. I configured the composite out of the HVX for nothing but video - no stats of any kind. If I want to check stats, I'll look at the camera LCD, usually at the beginning or end of a shot. By the way, I like the Auto Iris feature on the HVX, especially with the spotlight and backlight settings. As long as the levels are close, I can dial it in using the editor. So this may have something to do with my preference. |

No zebras with the Sony Z1 either. Looks like it can't be done.

No zebra, no peaking from AV or composite with EX1, but all other camera data that I see on the LCD is on the monitor
