Installed 1.8.6 and encountered black screen. External monitor showed correctly. Reboot returned to normal op.

The latest firmware (v1.8.3) for the Komodo OG incorporates User Presets and a Function option in the "User Settings/Top Button Mode"

All the FN button does is give you the option to cycle between SETUP parameters if you're on an external monitor. As someone suggested, however, the USER PRESETS are much more useful to make easier changes.

The 1.8 beta firmware has been released as 1.8.3, no longer in beta. Anyone know what the changes are between 1.8.2 beta and 1.8.3?

Hi Brian, Yes, thanx for the link. yeah, I've created several presets in the user page for turning on/off gioscope. But, in order to access these, I have to do the following.. 1-click on menu 2-scroll to user pages 3-select preset menu 4-scroll to actual preset 5-enable 6-click back out of menu...

The preset menu for the Komodo OG is nice, but, it really doesn't reduce the number of button presses needed in order to select a preset. It would be really nice if another option was available in the "FUNCTION" button that selected assigning specific presets to the top buttons on the Komodo.

Since I dont do any streaming, I dont reslly use those features. And, since I use a cIne7 to control, the function button thing is not as useful.

I've installed v1.8 beta. As of yet, no issues. My cine7 also works as before. I will note, however that this upgrade seems more aimed at the Kx, with no significant change to the OG

Whoa..it seems RED/Nikon has released some new firmware for the OG Komodo

I've had an Atomos Sumo 19 4k Monitor/Recorder sitting on the shelf and need to sell it. It will also accept four SDI inputs and allow real time switching. I'm including the battery batwing with 2 goldmount battery plates. Asking $1500 US.

A bit off-topic, but, perhaps other Komodo users can chime in. I'm looking at a SmallHD monitor to use outdoors in direct sunlight. Seems most people are using a Cine7 which has a screen brightness of 1800 nits. SmallHD also has a smaller 5inch screen on the Ultra5, that goes to 3000 nits. The...

There's been multiple web videos posted dealing with proper techniques for exposing a Komodo. Additionally, RED has published a document describing their recommended procedure... https://www.red.com/red-101/iso-speed-revisited et al. My question regards shooting, specifically, in RAW. The...

While going over the Lift, Gamma, Gain forum, I stumbled across this reference of interest. https://kaurh.gumroad.com/ This guy, Kaur Hendriksen, has written a few interesting dctl's, not the least of which is a false color dctl, for Resolve, that defines colors based on f/stops. I've found...
