Problems with zebras with the Blackmagic P4K

Took my new P4K to the zoo today. Footage looked great. Got some great shots of the animals. But for some reason when I got to the zebra display they were acting funny and I couldn't really get any good shots. Great shots of the elephants and giraffes, but not so much the zebras. Bummer.

Happy April 2 everyone.

I'm not surprised.  The P4K has great colour science, but zebras have no colour so they're not compatible.

I think to shoot zebras you have to be a black-and-white thinker.  Maybe having a DPreview account would help?
