questions : menus, accesories, workflow

[Olivier Gresse]

Hello,

Regarding the epic and its menus...

- Is it possible to navigate the image when zooming in with the Lcd?
- I find the zoom in the lcd really slow, is it normal?
- Is it possible to change the strength or color of peaking?
- How to parameterize the different shortcuts of the LCD, do we have to go through REDkeymapper or is there a simpler way?

Regarding accessories ...

- Is the DSMC2 RED EVF (OLED) w / Mount Pack usable on the shoulder or is it better to take the wooden camera kit or other?
- I was told that the 1TB SSD was long to mount compared to a 500GB, is that right, about how long?
- I have a problem with a Globalmedia Li190S (non red) battery that does not seem to walk on the wooden camera cableless plate, do you have this problem?


Concerning the workflow ...

- What is the easiest way to mount in Final Cut Pro 10.3 with the R3D, to make proxies in Redlog Film?
- When color science is it planned for helium? An updated of menus is it planned too ?
- What are the best Luts with the Epic-W?

And last question : Still no idea what M3 fasteners are used for?

Thanks so much

Nobody can help me please ?

- Is it possible to navigate the image when zooming in with the Lcd?

You cannot record while zoomed into 1:1 Magnify and cannot navigate without "punching out" first. You can however place the reticle with your finger using the touch screen.

- I find the zoom in the lcd really slow, is it normal?

Yes. The Magnify function actually is changing formats to achieve that level of magnification, it's not just a zoom in really.

- Is it possible to change the strength or color of peaking?

No. There are two modes however. Focus Check and Edge Focus Check.

- How to parameterize the different shortcuts of the LCD, do we have to go through REDkeymapper or is there a simpler way?

You can simply use the Keys to create Key Presets. It's pretty simple. Press the key, choose the function, proceed. You can save these Presets to the SSD even to load up on other cameras.

- Is the DSMC2 RED EVF (OLED) w / Mount Pack usable on the shoulder or is it better to take the wooden camera kit or other?

Depends entirely on how you rig it, but yes it's very possible.

- I was told that the 1TB SSD was long to mount compared to a 500GB, is that right, about how long?

Correct. It's not a terrible amount of time. A few seconds usually.

- I have a problem with a Globalmedia Li190S (non red) battery that does not seem to walk on the wooden camera cableless plate, do you have this problem?

Don't have an answer for that. I don't use either of those.

- What is the easiest way to mount in Final Cut Pro 10.3 with the R3D, to make proxies in Redlog Film?

Well you can read media straight off the card or offload it or.....

- When color science is it planned for helium? An updated of menus is it planned too ?

At the moment there's been a lot of R&D showcased in a few threads here on REDuser for something that's not exactly "Helium Color Science", but rather a new perspective on image processing. That is indeed what you are waiting for and yes it will be usable in camera on Helium bodies.

- What are the best Luts with the Epic-W?

There are no "best LUTs". If you ask me though, I like mine

And last question : Still no idea what M3 fasteners are used for?

Still a secret only known by few. But the short answer is it's a place to mount things.

Thanks Phil, I really appreciate.

Is there a way to configure a low battery warning in the Epic menus?

My battery does not communicate the percentage to the camera body and I have already shut down several times.

 

[Rakesh Malik]

For batteries that don't send percentages to the camera, the camera shows the battery's current voltage. IIRC at 11.2 volts, the camera shuts down. If you keep an eye on that voltage, you can tell when it's going to shut down on you.

Don't quote me on the shutdown voltage -- I might be mistaken about the exact number.
