CMOS smear stronger after update

[Severin Strauss]

Hey Reduseres,

I know about the cmos smear about the red epic dragons and read a lot in this forum.
but I was wondering if the cmos smear was getting stronger after I updated my camera?

Never noticed it that strong before

 

[Stefan Kraus]

Yeah that's extreme...
Shouldn't change with an update (if somebody knows better please correct me

The weapon (DSCM2 bodies) is supposetly better with high contrast like that, which olpf did you use?

hey stefan,

yeah I know, the cmos smear was always there but never this strong.
this framgrab was on standart olpf and firmware v6.3.17
so I rolled back to v6.0.44 and it got a bit less

it is the same light and setting, just set a few settings in red cine are changed show it a bit more, or do I understand something wrong here?

I'm totally aware that the Epic dragon got cmos smearing, but I never had it that strong and easy before.

Post both r3ds and file a support ticket.

mhh lower iso helps to reduce smear a bit as well, but I take it you used the same iso? But yeah I would post some r3d files and get RED to have a look. I would be still surprised if there is a software related issue, but you never know

Did you Black shade after updating firmware?
