  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Camera Build 4.0.18 Available for Download

since i upgraded i have the weirdest glitch ive ever encountered, i connect the SDI to my panasonic 17" monitor for the director but i have another monitor for the clients , when i loop thru to the directors monitor to the clients monitor it starts blinking , i switch the monitors just to make sure my monitors are not damaged and it stills blink. ?? the strange thing is that the first monitor i connect it to is ok, but when i connect the second monitor thru the first monitor, the second monitor starts blinking.. anyone seen this kind of glitch?

I have been using the power save option quite a bit. A small bug: when the camera wakes up from sleep (power save) the monitor flickers like crazy for a while. footage is fine...
 
Another issue I encountered is that whenever you are using an external battery and a Redvolt on the side handle, whenever the Anton Bauer runs low on power, the camera starts switching over to the Redvolt. No issues with that. what happens is that the camera starts switching back and forth between the two, rather fast, and that creates an audio click at every switch, at least in the monitoring channel. Haven't been able to check the footage yet.

Not sure about the audio clicking but the rapid battery switching happens on the previous build too.

And even when the camera does switch over to the side handle battery without going back and forth, the audio clicking persists...
 
Just tried to use my Red Pro LCD 5'6 upside down for the first time today, and change settings accordingly in the menus, but it looks like left and right are mirrored.
I saw some posts about this recently. Is this me or is it something that still has to be fixed ?

I did some tests.
HD-SDI audio out does not work.
I connected Epic to a monitor and hyperdeck shuttle 2. No audio recorded!!
On RED SSD card audio is fine.
Others have this problem??
Downgrade build 4.0.12 all ok!!

I have no problems with SDI and audio, or with any of my 2 monitors (JVC 21 incj and Marshal 3D 24 inch)
All with embedded audio. Works perfect with pix240 recorder.

You checked your audio settings and SDI out?

best

My Handgrip is not coming on during boot up.
If I attach it while the camera is on, It comes up momentarily then turns off.

Is this a firmware issue?

I think it is written somewhere in the manual that you should NEVER connect the side handle when the camera is ON.
 
Correct, the DSMC Side Handle is not hot swappable - meaning you cannot remove or install while the camera is powered on. Before installing or removing the DSMC Side Handle, you must power down the camera.

Two things you can try, reinstall the firmware and a downgrade. Both with the sidehandle attached. If that doesn't help its time to contact the support.

Oh, and we can't repeat that often enough, DO NOT HOTSWAP THE SIDEHANDLE!!! ;)
 
I generally use a FF, but with a teleprompter, I'd like to half-press and focus.

This used to work with my Canon 24-70mm F/2.8L EF II (USM) Lens in the last version I was on, but ... it doesn't seem to with this version.

I do have the switch on the lens set to AF.

Les, which focus mode are you using?

Single Spot or Center. I've tried continuous also.

Oddly, if I change the AF/M slider on the lens to M while in the Focus menu, the camera immediately switches off those options - so it's recognizing the lens.

Could the start button I'm pressing half-way be malfunctioning?

This is a very low mileage camera, so I'd be surprised it the button is having problems, but ... is there a way to test focus other than pressing 1/2 way - or test the button?

I've got a REDMOTE and the side handle, if they could be used.

BTW - a button on the REDMOTE to focus (as I'm often in another room monitoring thru HDMI) would be invaluable.
