My favorite trick, surprisinly unknown to many...

[Joseph Hutson]

It has been brought to my attention that my favorite little trick is unknown to many, thus I would like to share it. I first found out about it when working with the FIXED Scarlet and I could activate the built-in ND's by TAP/HOLDING in a button on the touchscreen's main menu.

There's no way to adjust tint in the EPIC camera...

Actually, yes you can. Instead of tapping the Kelvin setting and sliding through the scale, hold your finger over the area for a second. All of your presets such as Daylight, Fluorescent, Tungsten, Cloudy, etc. are selectable...along with tint on the right side.

Also, for shooting timelapses, tap and hold on the framerate and proceed to select 1fps or whatever framerate you choose. When selecting framerate, you may sometimes be able to shoot a higher framerate than you think. For example, in 3K mode when scrolling through the framerates, it looks like 150fps is the limit. The truth is that you can shoot up to 160fps in 3K by manually dialing it in.

When using a Canon mount, you may tap/hold on the aperture. This opens the window for you to dial in the aperture, as well as how many inches/feet you wish to focus.

I hope you enjoy these great features which every REDuser should know about. If you already knew about, good on you.

Nice. Why would 3k 160fps be hidden?

 

[Justin Marx]

The RED enigma.... Thanks Joseph..

Nice. Why would 3k 160fps be hidden?

Not sure. I believe the 2K WS goes up to 303 or 304 fps as well. 5K WS goes up to 121fps. Hehe

Or you can push 'up' on the side handle's NSEW control to access the same detailed menus.

How come the amplifier in "Spinal Tap" went up to eleven. ?

Heh heh.

Not enough people read the manual!

You can do the same from the REDmote by pushing "up" in remote mode when selecting one of those items rather than pushing "select".

 

[Sam Taylor]

Interesting, thanks Joseph!

 

[Vance Colvig]

It went to eleven because they needed it. Technical evolution, dontcha know.

 

[Eric Haase]

Tint control is also available on the redmote screen on one of the pages. I think its the one with Shadow and FLUT.

 

[Andrew clemson]

You can assign the tint or any function to whatever page you choose. I keep it on the front page quite often.

It's not hidden. The list shows a set of presets and 160 wasn't on the list.

We're adding a max fps setting to the list since that's the corner case.

5k ws 125 would be so cool for us european.... I'll try it in the afternoon.
