RELEASED: BETA RED ONE FIRMWARE (v3.4.1)

[Andrae Palmer]

Great job on the 1:1 magnify. How do you view the Battery Cycle Count information?

 

[Bing Bailey]

Epic has some really big RED ONE shoes to fill. the mind boggles at where all this will go next and the great thing is it won't be starting at ground zero and all the work flow should be in place for scarlet and epic already

 

[Gian Joon]

"1:1 magnify" is the hottest feature. No more soft focus.

Thanks RED team

Loving the ability to change the gain of line level audio. That's sweet!

 

[Mike Prevette]

The 1:1 feature is amazing. I can't believe I lived without it. Also the user box is VERY well done. Congrats guys!

Thank You!

 

[Michael Ragen]

Holy crap!! 1:1 is so awesome!!!

edit: I just tried to do a black balance without formatting the cf card and the camera said:

CALIBRATION FAILED
Not quite sure what you should do.

Pretty hilarious.

 

[Andrae Palmer]

Press the UNDO button and the Joystick.

I'm not getting anything while pressing both these buttons. I noticed no information was in the new manual about this feature either.

Power the camera up. Then press UNDO and Joystick at same time.

You should see something like this -

PIN ABC-123-XYZ
VER v3.4.1. B17
HRS 204 CYC 20

If you are on D.C power CYC will report 0.

 

[Mike Prevette]

Be sure to be looking at the rear screen.

 

[Mitch Gross]

With the 1:1 magnification, setting accurate depth on the lens mount is far easier.

 

[Andrae Palmer]

Be sure to be looking at the rear screen.

Thanks! That must have been what I was doing wrong.

 

[Ed Watkins]

Are there any plans in the works to have a camera usage/hours display, like the battery cycle count?

It'd be nice to see how much usage the old girl has really got on her.

Yes - see above

Power the camera up. Then press UNDO and Joystick at same time.

PIN ABC-123-XYZ
VER v3.4.1. B17
HRS 204 CYC 20

HRS is the hours powered up to date

 

[Martin Weiss]

Still hoping for a "Confirm" on power off.

Or, easier: You have to push the off button for 2 seconds to turn off the camera.

(Added bonus: in a future firmware, a short push could put the camera to sleep. - pretty much like Macs behave these days.)

 

[Martin Weiss]

As of yesterday, we started shipping cameras with 16 GB CF CARD-supported CF reader/writers

And our camera is being packed as we speak. Talk about timing :devil:

 

[Cail Young]

Feature request:

That the spelling mistakes are removed from the formatting status displays. Unless build 17 the the build that no longer tells me my "magzine" is ready for use?

 

[Brent Carter]

How do we identify cameras with the new CF modules? We don't know the ship date or service history for rented bodies.

If you remove the CF MODULE side panel and the version number of the CF reader/writer has a label on it stating rev 2.1 or higher, it is 16 GB CF CARD compatible.
