EPIC stops recording when pointed at bright sky

[Marc Wielage]

But is anyone else experiencing a frame or half a frame of digital noise once in a while? a bit scary I think.

This is not always a Red-specific issue. I believe this is endemic to certain flavors of JPEG2000 compression.

I think it also depends on the compression ratio selected and the amount of detail in the picture. I have a feeling the "bright shut-off" issue will be easily solved; it just took awhile for somebody to run into it. I did a Red post project some months ago where they had some hot desert scenes, tilted up to the sky, and we flared it out in color-correction -- not in the camera exposure. The results were indistinguishable from opening up the iris (in my opinion) and more controllable.
