2.5K question

[Lee Burnett]

I asked a question about slow motion options on the RED dragon recently, being my first time shooting on the RED I got some great advice on choosing slow motion shots to match 4K 24fps.

My issue was with noise and general quality compared with 4K. Some people said to shoot at 2.5K, where I can shoot at 200fps... but going through the menu I can't see an option for 2.5K, only 3K at 160fps, and 2K at 240fps.

Any advice?

RTFM. Specifically, on page 4 of the RED EPIC DRAGON MENU GUIDE (firmware 6.0.35), see Recording -> Edit List -> Custom -> Add / Remove and select 2.5K.
