MQ - Medium data rate (default) and longer recording time
LQ - Lowest data rate and longest recording time
For high complexity scenes, VFX, and stills from motion workflows, RED recommends the HQ setting. For cinema (non-

recommends the LQ setting.
PRE-RECORD
Use the Pre-Record menu to enable or disable Pre-Record, and to adjust the length of the Pre-Recorded clip.
Pre-Record allows you to continually capture images to a small amount of memory while waiting to begin recording.
This allows you to capture unexpected events such as, a whale breaching the water, or a an athlete scoring a goal.
When you finish recording, the pre-recorded clip is added to the beginning of the recording.
You can set the Pre-Record clip to record from half a second up to 30 seconds, depending on the format, file type,
resolution, and quality. The default setting is 2 seconds at the default Project Time Base of 23.98 FPS.
