RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO 6K Digital Cinema Camera (RF) - Manual (Page 167)

CALIBRATING THE SENSOR
Sensor calibration is a process during which the camera optimizes image quality by ensuring that pixel sensitivity
remains consistent throughout the sensor.
WHEN TO CALIBRATE SENSOR
Calibration is required:
When shooting in an environment where the temperature is significantly different (+/- 30° F...) from the current
calibration. The T in the T/E Status Bar indicator will turn yellow.
After an extreme change in exposure time (+/– 1/2 sec). The E in the T/E Status Bar indicator will turn yellow.
After each firmware upgrade.
