Has not even been posted to the RED documents section, where did this pop up from! Nice!

Its live now https://www.red.com/downloads/56cb55fef77f303eb4001e1f some nice Easter eggs in there.

On the Formats page (page72) it lists not only 4.5K 2.4:1 (WS) but also 4.5K FF. This is news, correct?!

Also, I'm thinking its a typo but the manual also states that the Raven will shoot 6K in stills mode...

Yeah I did a double take when I saw the spec for stills.

I mean.. It's there so I'm hoping it's true. Haven't read the operations guide yet. Can someone please confirm!? That would be a cool little update we didn't know before. 4.5K FF

FF means the whole sensor area, which is 4608x2160, about 2.1:1 ... a little bit taller than WS. No news here, we already knew that.

6K stills is a typo

Wasn't Raven only able to shoot at 4.5K WS and 4K FF? If it's 4.5K FF as well, that's news to me.

Yes, it shoots FF 4.5K, but remember that FF in Raven's territory means 4608x2160. Which is its full sensor area available. It's something in between 2:1 and 2.4:1 WS. Keep in mind that it is not the usual FF aspect ratio of bigger reds.

So if you need, for example, to deliver in WS, you can shoot 4.5K FF and have 108 pixel over and 108 under for reframing.
