I saw a video that showed Zebra Stripe, overexposure warnings, and I thought it was for the Spark, but I cannot find
this in the camera settings.  I am guessing that these are not available for the Spark.  But in case I am BLIND and not
seeing the setting I would appreciate any help.

Cheers

I found it ONLY on the iPad version of DJI Go 4.1.10.  iPhone 4.1.10 does not have it, or Android 4.1.9.  Strange!

Do you still have the option when the spark is connected?

I've noticed some options disappear when it is.

SS2FTE, thanks for your update. I just tested with ipad. If you connect mavic before connecting spark, it will show overexposure because it saves the camera setting from the last time. Please note that spark doesn't have this feature.

The zebra stripes are showing areas of the screen that are overexposed with you current camera exposure settings, that is what parts of the photo / video that will be washed out/ too bright. It is not a problem for flying only when you take photos and videos

If you change your camera exposure settings (down e.g higher apeture number and or higher shutter speed)  you will see the zebra stripes will disappear indicating that those areas previously identified will now be reasonably well exposed.  However other areas of the scene could now be too dark, it is a balance and compromise on exposure even when on full auto as the the difference between light and dark sections of the image may be to wide for the camera to handle, camera technology is limited to recognising only a range of shades. The human eye in contrast is continously adjusting to light and dark shades, so we don't notice it as much, over exposure is similiar to the bright sunny conditions where we need sunglasses to block the glare and see clearly, that is akin to lowering the exposure

This might help explain over/under exposure

No zebra stripes on the Spark but it does have a histogram which is actually more effective for controlling exposure.

ACW is right. Spark has no zebra stripes, when you connect your app with drone, the item will disappear.
