Shutting down

[Sverker Hahn]

I get the message "The camera was improperly shut down" after having pressed the power button on the Raven´s right side.

Why is that?

Doesn't seem to give any problems, but still ...

You might be holding the Power/Record button down for too long.

To power it off, press and hold for 2 seconds. If you hold longer, it's the equivalent of "pulling the plug" which isn't ideal especially as the camera goes through its shutdown commands.

If you create a Support Ticket and send a Log file, RED Support could probably tell you exactly what is happening.

Edit: I should note - 20+ seconds is a hard reset which will bring back the settings to default.

What Alex said. 2 second rule...

I always just shut down via the touch screen to avoid that situation entirely.
