RED MX SOS EXPOSURE ISSUES

[Richard Card]

On set right now, I have done a full reset of everything plus a black shading. The only thing I haven't done is reinstall the firmware. I am on a 3 camera show and B_CAM is a stop off, I have triple checked the exposures and in camera settings, any thoughts? Camera is already being sent back to the rental house but looking for a conclusive answer to give to DP. Thanks

Hi Richard, is this based on what you can see from the HD-SDI/HDMI output or have you compared the RAW images?
I have found the live monitoring, which was designed to only be a reference, can vary from camera to camera, but the RAW is always pretty consistent.

More detail would help.

Richard - send me a 1 frame R3D trim (use latest REDCine-X) from the three cameras all at same lens f-stop pointed at the same target. I'm betting something is "off" in the metadata and a quick compare will show exactly what. You can also examine the metadata yourself in REDCine-X and that might be quicker still to do the compare yourself.
