Amazing to finally being able to export a look from RCX and load it into B30 camera !!!
A couple or ideas for the future since we'll all be much more willing to use in-camera looks now :
Whenever a custom look is applied in REDCOLOR view (any setting not being default except maybe ISO) it would be great to have something in the camera UI interface mention we are seeing an image with a CUSTOM_LOOK (created or modified in camera). Not sure where you have room left to fit that info but it would be a great help.
Then if we load a look from the SD card it could instead display that look name like 'CAMERA_0001' or "COOL_BWLOOK_V2"
Similar to the camera assistant putting a small gaffer tape label with '85ND3' to be reminded he has such filter in the matte-box it would be very important to have a constant visual confirmation as to which specific look is applied or not in current view.
While testing it out quickly I found a small bug (is it in canera or in the RCX exported data ??) :
Any exported look from RCX 158 gets all parameters across to the camera OK except the CURVE / TONE. The values are carried over but the curve itself is not activated. One need to load the look then go back into video menu/tone menu to activate the curve.
Also minor thing, right now when you save, reset or load a look, once it's done you get bounced back to the main UI display (as if you hit the exit button), would be good to stay in the look menu instead. Very often I'd want load a look, compare it with another one, or save a custom one then reset or reload another etc so it'd be good to stay in the menu until we manually exit once our look choice is made.
Thanks much RED for all the recent updates and progress on all fronts !
