If you have upgraded your RED ONE to B16, this is the place to comment. You can post the good, the bugs and the ugly. We aim to listen and react.

PLEASE don't post a list of new features you want to see in the next build. We are looking for feedback on the features and performance of this build.

I'll start with one. The code has NOT been optimized for speed. It is a bit slow to work with right now. That will be improved soon.

While i was trying the timelapse mode i set the SPEED to 1 sec and went out in the night to see how it looks only to discover that my sensor has like a gazilion hot pixels!! Is this normal? i never tried timelapse in build 15.

EDIT: I did black shading twice but the hot pixels remain. Out of the timelapse mode the picture looks great. :-)
 
Hey Miltos.. Timelapse has a few kinks in it we are working on.. thanks for the report.

Yes, its best to stay away from 1 sec SPEED in timelapse for the moment. Its noted as a bug in the Read Me notes; this is one of two possible outcomes of that bug. It will be fixed in the next Beta Build 16 firmware update.
 
greyscale doesn't change in lcd

greyscale doesn't change in lcd

i'm running the lcd and evf at the same time and when i adjust exposure in relation to my scene, i see a clear change in the "dynamic range" grayscale indicator on the right side but only in the evf. the lcd always shows all shades of gray no matter what i'm seeing or what the evf shows.

btw-the lcd image looks much cleaner. no banding and less noise. great work red team.
 
Not being able to record 4k 16x9 RC36 on the Red 8GB CF

Exposure litmus feature, doesn't work all the time, I was pointing the camera outside and it was clearly blown out, yet the litmus strip had all the boxes lit up
 
We are currently on the set of a mattel toy commercials. we have been shooting with the alpha for three days with excellent results! moreover, the new version of redAlert is a big improvement from the earlier alpha release, great job gentlemen.
 
you need to hold down the undo button when you hit record for pre-record to work.

undo (shift) record turns pre-record on (yellow timecode), hit record again and tc turns red and your speeding.

CF issue - that's not a bug, the 8GB CF cards are not fast enough to support that combination of frame rate x resolution x quality.

Exposure Strip - what is your expectation there?
 
Okay, just loaded it up with EVF and LCD attached but my EVF is dark except for the words "EVF not selected" in the lower left." Buttons seem to work.

I've never seen that before. Can't seem to find a new "Activate EVF" in the menus.

UPDATE: Okay, figured it out. EVF cable wasn't snapped all the way. Wild that the monitor got enough juice and was smart enough to know it wasn't connected all the way. Sorry for the scare--back in business.

I would have expected the top portion of the strips whiter squares to merge and become a single block like it does when I'm underexposing. Stuart, can you explain what I'm looking at?

Sounds like you had enough of a connection to establish camera to EVF comms, but not to bring the video path up.

Redspace: thank you
User programable functions : (buttons and dial) thank you
Audio upgrades: thank you
Better response from ISO changes: thank you
New Media menu: thank you

bugs found:
1 time lapse 1sec error
2 When the ABC buttons are assigned to a new map the rear screen still reads with the default mapping. I understand many reasons why, but it will confuse people.


More as I look for it
