New User Keys

[Medavoym]

Hi!

Playing with the RED camera... which is just amazing.

Now to my question: is it possible to add some new user keys, and modify a bit how some of them function? It has been suggested before...

- first, after disabling the side record button, is it possible to make it into an additional user key? That would be great!

- secondly, how about the two brightness buttons on top of the LCD? I bet most of the users never touch those, as they leave the brightness pumped up to the maximum. Also, I noticed that user keys 3 and 4 are on the EVF only. Maybe these two can be 3 and 4 on the LCD instead (if they have that potential ability).

- very important: can we assign one button to toggle between the different view spaces? RAW, REDSpace and REC 709. Pressing it would simply show you the next, and so on. Maybe another button can toggle between the different metering options. The ability to just toggle between different choices would be simply amazing.

Anyway... let me know what you think. I believe having as many user keys as possible can only be for the best - helping us do our job quicker and better.

Also,
could we get an option to disable the REAR record button ?

Thanks,
Nils.

It would be awesome if the lcd brightness keys could be reprogrammed to do something else.

I subscribe to all these ideas. Additional user keys (the side record button, the two LCD brightness buttons - even the back record button when using a remote record button) would be super-helpful.

More importantly, I think, would be the ability of the user keys to cycle through different assignments. That would really limit wasting time going deep into the menus for something that one could simply achieve by pushing a button a couple of times.

Can this be implemented in the next build?

Also a time-out for the rear display. If you haven't pressed a button in 3 seconds (or 5, or 10) the rear display goes off.

I have black gaff on the rear of the cam most of the time, would be nice to not have to peel it off when I need the display... Maybe a press and hold button combo to turn the rear display on/off.

Sleep mode someday..

Some more thoughts here:

1) the three buttons left of the display should also be accessable user keys. There are tons of options to change shutter speed or iso, I would prefer to individually program those.

2) please add the function "fps" in varispeed mode to the selection. Very important. Often needed on a shoot to be readjusted.

3) For the fps in varispeed, can we please dial hundrets, tens and single units seperately and toggeling between them with the dial knob left or right. Is a real long way to go from 24 fps to 120...

4) can you name user keys like "EVF upper button" rather than "User 1" so we get a better idea where it is located.

5) And P L E A S E add a 1:1 pixel for pixel zoom mode to the functions! This would be so extremly helpful. I could even think of a left/right and up/down shifting of the window with the dial knob, but... the zoom alone would really help.

6) I have programmed a toggle between Redspace and RAW. Please add a warning like "RAW" when actually watching RAW. In the hectic of a shoot you might end up to set to the histogramm in RAW otherwise.

Thanks, BTW I love Red Rushes. Perfect!

Best,
Sebastian
