Is there a way to set the threshold for which the zebras/overexposure warning will appear?

I’m coming from mirrorless handheld cameras and they all have the setting to customize when your zebras will appear. 94IRE for Slog3 for example.

This is vastly superior to looking at a histogram because with zebras you can see exactly what is being clipped in your frame.

Foolproof perfect exposure effortlessly every single time.

I know this feature was unavailable in the 3.

Wondering if this feature has finally been added to the 4.

The main problem with zebras in this simplistic form is that these zebra striped zones are only derived from in camera generated JPEG. So when you shoot DNG stills or D-log videos, zebras do not accurately represent the true dynamic range of these flat profiles and do not actually show what will be clipped beyond recovery in post. Therefore zebras on DJI drones are only an indication rather than reliable representation of clipped pixels. No better or worse than histogram in that sense.

I switched zerbra off even in my A3S; it messes up my screen controller recording. I remember when I first commenced flying my A3S, I was clueless to why I'm seeing stripes across controller screen; it was a while before I realized what it was; I have that feature off on both my A3S and the Mavic 4 Pro.
