Explanation of "Key Actions" for programming user defined keys

[Bill Prouty]

I recently programmed the user keys on my SSD side module, 5" LCD and redmote. Fairly straightforward... except I can't seem to find anything describing the purpose of each "key action". Page 112 of the Scarlet X Operation guide lists them all... but doesn't explain their function in detail. Most are fairly obvious, but some left me scratching my head. Any tips... or is something that requires a bit of trial and error?

• Toggle ND Filter - RED has an OLPF/ND product in the works. It'll let the meta-data know that it's installed.
• Toggle SH backlight - "Toggle Side Handle Backlight"
• Set focus mode for still - I don't believe this is implemented yet.
• Set focus mode for movie - Ditto
• Focus to MOD speed 1 - Focus closer at speed one. (Note I tried this last night and I don't think focus control works yet.)

Below is a list of all the "Key Actions" in version 2.0.5 of the Scarlet-X firmware. I listed a few in bold that confused me. I'm sure I can test these by trial-and-error, but hoped someone had already done the grunt work

• Record half press

This is not the best name - it comes from the fact that it is the default action associated with half-pressing the record (shutter) button. Right now it starts the AF routine (if AF is enabled)

• Toggle ND Filter• Toggle Lens Ring Mode

These are vestiges of the 2/3rds Scarlets and ought to be removed

• Toggle SH backlight

Toggles the sidehandle (SH) backlight

• Set focus mode for still• Set focus mode for movie

In 2.0.x there is no real stills mode. However, the Still/Movie switch does allow you to set different AF modes for "Still" or "Movie" mode. These actions switch to those respective modes.

• Toggle Shutter Mode

Toggles the shutter mode (show integration time or shutter angle)

• Focus to MOD speed 1
• Focus to MOD speed 2
• Focus to MOD speed 3
• Focus to MOD speed 4

These don't actually do anything at the moment

Thanks. I appreciate the clarification.
