Black shading at 300FPS ...FAIL...any help

[Antonio Forjaz]

Need some help, I am shooting a commercial in which the client needs everything at 300FPS, but when I try black shading at 300FPS and 1000 shutter at 800 ASA it constantly fails. I have re-installed the firmware (3.0.0) and it continues failing.
What am I doing wrong? Should I do black shading at 5K?
The lens cap is on and I am connected to the electricity from the power supply.
Any ideas?:embarassed:

black shade in 24 ( or 25 ) fps then shoot in 300 you will be fine... This has been discussed many times.

Doesn't matter, it'll always black shade the whole sensor.

5K 24FPS 250 ISO ... It's all meta data from there... Color settings ... 5 5 5 .... Saturation 1.0 and contrast .5 ... After that switch to whatever frame rate you'd like and you will be happy... Once you go into red cine x (rocket card) change the flut a bit to give yourself some extra stops to play with if exporting to Pro Rez or DNX....
