Epic flare issue solution

[Deanan]

I think black-shades is cumulative over time, and done to often you get strange effects. I should re-load firmware and do black-shade with warm camera with lenscap on.

Black shades are not cumulative so it's ok to do as often as you want.

For those of you who want to kill those flares but don't want to use flock, please check out the first post in this thread, thanks.

We are getting in some of the the user-installable OLPF Port Bushings as we speak so can begin shipping these out as soon as today. This bushing reduces the reported flare issue on EPIC and SCARLET for existing camera owners. If you are interested in this, please email olpf@red.com with your camera serial number and shipping address. Once we get your email, it is will enter the order processing queue and we will reply back with the installation instructions. If after getting the instructions and reviewing them, you would prefer we do the install here at RED for you, no problem - just let us know. The bushing kit and RED installation - both at no charge.

Since it will be asked... For new cameras, we will be addressing the issue with a permanent solution that is an integrated part of the manufacturing process (ie, not user installable).
