EPIC OPERATION GUIDE

[Tim Whitcomb]

Thanks Jarred, this is fantastic "Draft" - more goodies coming every day after NAB... thanks!

 

[Curtis Abbott]

Does EPIC have GPS built in?

 

[Erik Franzén]

Congratulations on your purchase of a RED EPIC® camera

I like this part the most

 

[Gunleik Groven]

Thanks. Just started reading.

really like that the relation between WB and DR is in the documentation.

As to HDRx, would it be possible to use it "the oposite way". The "X-track" with 360 degrees , while the main track was at 180-degrees?
Or the oposite way (as to tracks)?

I guess this have been asked before, but still...

 

[Mark Toia]

Hey anyone from movie land with a spare epic to practice on..

Thanks Jarred.

 

[Frazier Nivens]

Glad to have this in advance, greatly appreciated...order in for EPIC M...waiting...hoping...

60W speaks of the voodoo magic happening here. <-----
Still love how "Leica" the menu's font is.
Unprecedented GUI and control! Intuitive.
BTW, love the engine shot.
LOVE being able to just touch the audio meters to get to the Input Menu! Those little things piled up into a heap of dream-camera awesomeness units.

Would the X/Y Offset allow you to record a specific section of a lens' image circle? And let us play with circular distortion wide or distorted lenses so as to have the image fan out to the right and bottom for example? I mean, can you crop in and then you push the box to the right and down on the X and Y axes?

And what is the recommended brightness setting for the EVF with a good seal on the eyecup?

I would really like to see the pinch magnify/shrink in action on a little video.

 

[Nathan VanderByl]

Very comprehensive! Thanks for posting this!

 

[Stuart English]

What is the Integration Time?

Integration time is an alternative way of expressing shutter speed ...

Thank you Stuart!

Oh, I see now. Milliseconds.

Thank you!!

people already are using it backwards.... ( but 2 stops )

Thanks for the manual. I assume you'd like feedback??

FYI: I got an error when I opened the PDF: Cannot extract the embedded font 'NGRSBA+HelveticaNeueLTStd-Bd'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
Here's a picture of the dialog box: http://screencast.com/t/UYyyQsoN0A7

TYPO: Page 14 - Caption on Figure 2 says "WITHOUT LCD of EVF Connected". I think it should be "WITHOUT LCD or EVF Connected".

On page 19 it talks about the Media Status LED but the table calls it the Record Status LED.

On page 44 & 45 in Section3. PREPARING TO RECORD, the user is directed to format the SSD twice; once in step 3 and again is step 4.

Peace,

Rob:-]

 

[MattGahan]

FYI "black calibration" is spelled incorrectly on the bottom of page 44.

 

[Dan Kanes]

Looking forward to learning more about the calibration tools. So excited about this system. Thanks Red Team.

 

[Jarred Land]

Thanks for the feedback guys

awesome! I was thinking it would be simple to switch HDRx....expose for highlights to be the "normal" exposure and the x track be overexposed. Very neat

Just remember that your short exposure will have very different motion characteristics than a normal exposure would.
