Upgraded Firmware To 6.0.37. Now there is a delay in menu selections. Annoying.

[Corey Benoit]

So I upgraded the firmware to my scarlet Dragon today. I followed the instructions exactly as stated on the website. Put the folder on the root of the SSD and turned the camera on. I then let it upgrade and then turned the camera off. Waited 10 seconds and then booted back up. Everything is in working order except now when I stop down the aperture instead of it changing instantly it now has a delay. If I stop down the screen and exposure change immediately like normal however the menu at the top has a 1-2 second delay and it now shows "iris close" or "iris open" on the bottom.

So no it shows for example F/2.0 and then when i close it 1/3 stop it changes instantly but the f/2.0 label stays there and turns yellow and then turns to f/2.2. Also when scrolling through the top menu with the side handle everything has a delay and is much slower. This is annoying as hell.

Any thoughts?

Yeah I noticed this too. I however noticed this 2 updates back. The delay wasn't major and I was hoping it would be gone by this update but it's still there.

On a different note, I think the camera starts up faster. At one point it took 30 secs but now it's back to 20 secs. Strange.

RED needs to fix this annoying lag. I mean $25k for a camera and now there is a delay. No bueno.

Try a Sony F55 if you really want to see how long menus can lag. Seriously the slight Red menu delay in response is slightly annoying.

Point is that it didn't have lag before this update. Firmware updates are for improvements, not to induce quality.
