Demonstrating, in a fairly simple overview, how to use the 'zebra' function on a camcorder or DSLR as a guide to setting exposure, toggling between 70% and 100%, for interviews and maximum exposure respectively.

The videocamera in the shot is a Canon Legria HF-G25 (Vixia HF-G20) but the principles explained are true for whichever video camera you use if it offers the zebra function.

Buy the HF-G25 via our Amazon UK link and it helps us keep the reviews going; thank you.

The battery I use on this camcorder is a Duracell DRC827, purchased from Amazon. You can buy it via this link: amzn.to/15NZAEj
