AUTO
This setting combines VARIABLE speed fan operation while not recording, with SILENT mode when in
record. This mode is recommended for extended duration dialog recordings.
VARIABLE
This setting is most useful when the ambient temperatures are below 50°F/10°C. In variable mode, the fan
runs at a continuously variable speed in both preview and record. At low ambient temperatures the fan will
run at minimum speed. At higher ambient temperature, the fan will run faster to maintain the camera body
within its operating temperature limits.
HOT
This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is between 86°F/32°C and 104°F/40C. In hot
mode, the fan runs at its maximum speed. Other camera cooling precautions may be necessary, such as
shading the camera from sunlight and use of a cold gel pack.
STANDARD
This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 86F/ 32C. In standard mode, the fan
will run at half its maximum speed when in record.
QUIET
This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 72°F/25°C. In quiet mode the fan runs
at one quarter its maximum speed when in record.
SILENT
This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 60°F/15°C. In silent mode the fan runs
at its minimum speed when in record.
BLACK SHADING
Black Shading allows the camera to self-calibrate sensor output for optimum black levels.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to perform a Black Shading calibration while the camera is in Mag-
nify mode or an error will occur.
NOTE: Before starting a Black shading calibration, ensure that you place a lens cap that blocks all
light on your lens. Insert a formatted CF card or REDMAG into the camera (or attach a formatted
RED-DRIVE). Ideally re-format the media before proceeding to ensure sufficient space is available
to perform the record task.
NOTE: It is very important that no light reach the sensor. If Black Shading is performed without
capping the lens, the black level calculation will be incorrect. To rectify, repeat the Black shading
procedure with a lens cap installed.
