Autoblack shading when battery dies?

[Joel Arvidsson]

I think I will run out of battery while doing the black shading. I should hade taken a fresh battery. Is it just to redo a new auto black shade it the battery dies? Or is it anything to worry about?

Hope it gets through the process. If it does not, fresh battery and redo it.

I usually blackshade with AC Power. Maybe that'll help the stress.

You should be ok, but it may be a good idea to re-flash the firmware. For black shading, always good to do it via AC power and have a battery as a backup.

Thanks guys, its a,ways calming to hear its all good. It really should be a cancel button on the calibration for those rare occasions when you relize your battery was not enough.


My guess is it should be no problem but I always done it before with a full battery but I did the mistake only looking at the redbars on the battery to make the estimate it was enough. I bet it will just go back to the prevous completed black shaded calibration.

I will re run it first thing tomorrow morning. I think i skip to reflash it as I will update it to latest build before taking in to production anyway.

Any red employees take on this?

Picked up the epic w today and run a battery time test. A red brick lasted 1h 14 minutes. This very same red brick lasts 1h 50minutes on my red epic x. Also the camera shut down randomly two times.
