Scarlet/ epic single frame stills?

[Mestizo Devon]

Can you set up the camera to capture single stills?
Or do have to pull the stills from a motion file?

 

[Darius Lyles]

At this point you have to take the still from the motion file.

Is this something that will be added to the firmware?

 

[Peter Majtan]

YES. There is a button on the side-handle and the REDMOTE that switches between motion and still modes. It is not currently activated...

 

[Mestizo Devon]

Great, I haven't lost it yet...

 

[Andrew Gentle]

YES. There is a button on the side-handle and the REDMOTE that switches between motion and still modes. It is not currently activated...

I thought that was supposed to change the way the focus algorithm works?

You could always set your DSMC to 1 fps and then probably start and stop the recording fast enough to get a one frame .R3D file.

or go for the 12fsp 5K burst and pick the Best Of....?

Well, yeah, that's a much better idea because unless you're starting recording remotely, there's bound to be some camera movement from the press of the record button. If you choose a frame other than the first or the last you'll probably find that it's sharper in most cases.

I wonder how far down the list the still feature is now?

 

[Chris Tharp]

will there ever be flash control?

 

[Selvakumar]

Is it possible now to sync Broncolor power packs with the scarlet, I remember reading some where in this forum regarding that capability when using the side handle.
My side handle is arriving on Monday. I am very excited on trying that option.

How is this supposed to work? Hardwired, via IR or RFS? Any insights on that would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Ulf

why would you want to take just one frame at a time with the scarlet? any dslr on the market will probably do a better job.
to me the whole idea of the dsmc concept is to pull stills you recorded in motion-something you can't do with any dslr on the market.

 

[Mestizo Devon]

I'd like it to operate like a dslr, so I'm sure I have the shot I want.
not juggling cameras and so on, simple addition to the camera. It
would add value in my eyes, if people don't like it don't have to use it.
