Looks like Dragon is getting much closer! Thanks Jarred and Team Red.

 

[Phil Holland]

Most excellent. Peeps asked for the old fan modes and got them.

Just don't touch Adaptive Mode. That's my ride.

 

[Carlos Reyes]

Thanks for bringing back manual fan! Time to give this new build a test drive

 

[Hans Magnus Kvåle]

It looks good, thanks!

 

[Isaac Marchionna]

Welcome back, Manuel Modes!

well...this beta does not like the sigma 18-35....again.....after opening up all the way (1.8 or actually 1.7) one has to take the lens off and put it back on to be able to control it again.....
does anyone have the last beta? it worked fine for me....

It also works fine for me on 5.1.14. I have not yet upgraded to 5.1.23.

 

[Antony Newman]

Wow - impressive list of updates.

AJ.

 

[Robert Ruffo New]

Thanks for listening!

 

[Nikhil Kamkolkar]

Yes, totally appreciate the attention given to the fan issues in this build. Hoping some love will be given to the hardware side (fan related) as well...? Until then, soon as this build gets to release build status, plan to load it and check out adaptive mode.

 

[paul schefz]

it worked with the last beta 5.1.14 for me as well....but not with this one

 

[Will Keir]

Thanks, much appreciated team!

Adaptive Preview Quiet Record for the win

 

[Mark L. Pederson]

First try adaptive preview quiet record - and lower the max fan speed on record to 25%. It's awesome.

 

[Craig Weeding]

adaptive preview quiet record is great

thanks and keep up the great work

All these upgrades for no charge, Amazing

This probably wanders into the nit-picky territory, but in the dsmc_read_me_build_v5.1.23.txt:

12. Go to SETTINGS > MAINTENANCE > SYSTEM STATUS > CAMERA INFO and verify that the camera monitor displays Version 5.1.16 and PIN (value specific to camera).

Also the change log at the bottom references v5.1.14 as the previous build.

Sorry, I'm one of those sick and twisted people that read instructions :smiley:

 

[Paul Russell]

Testing the build all day using timelapses and audio recording (which was glitching for me last week). Perfect performance so far.
Adaptive fan mode (quiet recording) is great. Long stretches of recording with almost unheard noise and the camera temperature at 71

Fantastic! What is Scarlet M-X by the way

 

[Andrew Gentle]

Fantastic! What is Scarlet M-X by the way

It's a Scarlet-X with an M-X sensor, as opposed to a Scarlet-X with a Dragon sensor (coming soon...)
