DRAGON BLACK SHADING PRESETS for FOOLCONTROL

[Mikael Lubtchansky]

As you know DRAGON can store up to 5 black Shading (factory + 4 user presets).

To quickly recall a black shade on set I just created some macro presets for foolcontrol iOS / OS X.
They automatically navigate thru the menu to apply your chosen map from the camera memory.

BlackShade calibration and reloading will hopefully soon be available via the camera menu tree (on a switchblade or in foolcontrol) but until then you can use those handy presets requiring a single click.

instruction included on how to import them in the app.

PS : Not tested on MX. Will have to look into this....

(and sorry for the all caps thread title...)

as i remember Red told we should create presets camera specific.You cant apply one preset on others (technically you can )

 

[Mikael Lubtchansky]

those are just macros to quickly apply presets you have created in-camera...

not actual black shade maps... just a fast way of recalling your own maps via foolcontrol UI

and afaik technically camera will not apply a BS created on another camera, they are specifically tagged to avoid such mistake

Right on! BTW, used FoolControl from my laptop the entire day. So nice to be able to work the cameras from my chair!

This is awesome. Period.

Can Foolcontrol store some calibration maps from our camera ? if they are ID tagged, there should be a way ?
so we could have more than 5.

I would love to be prepared between 40°C to 70°C at any shutter speed.

As of today the calibration maps can only be stored in camera or transferred to SSD, they are not available thru RCP so the only thing I can do remotely is what those macro presets are doing :
recalling a previously created call map from the camera memory.

Hopefuly in the future we will be able to do more, and eventually (if we can read calib map values or store a bunch of them) we could re-apply a cal map depending on temp / shutter settings automatically for each known camera PIN...
