Summary

Zebras are written in code values, here’s a quick chart that will help you convert between 8-bit, 10-bit and IRE levels:

These values hold true for all Picture Controls, even N-log.

The three important values are:

1. 255 or 109 IRE – to check for clipping highlights
2. 180 or 75 IRE – for skin tones in all picture controls and N-Log. Reduce exposure until this zebra vanishes.
3. 202 or 85 IRE – upper threshold value for skin tones. Reduce exposure until this zebra vanishes for specular highlights.
