RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 BRAIN with HELIUM 8K S35 Sensor (2018 Unified DSMC2 Lineup) - Manual (Page 127)

MULTI-SHOT
NOTE: The camera does not sync timecode in Multi-Shot mode.
NOTE: This mode is available in Motion mode, but is only recommended in Stills mode.
NOTE: Audio is not recorded in Multi-Shot mode.
Multi-Shot mode removes restrictions on Recording Frame Rate and REDCODE, allowing you to shoot at a high
resolution, high frame rate, and low compression. These restrictions are removed because the camera records first to
the camera’s memory, and then offloads (while recording) to SSD after the camera’s buffer fills up. Since the camera
records only as fast as the buffer can transfer data, frames are dropped from the clip.
Multi-Shot mode has two sub-modes:
Basic Multi-Shot mode
Advanced Multi-Shot mode
BASIC MULTI-SHOT MODE
In Basic Multi-Shot mode, you can record a one-frame clip by pressing a Record key, or you can continuously record
frames by holding a Record key. This mode is the easiest way to shoot stills, but there is some latency (about 700
milliseconds) when you press Record.
This mode only involves the Record key on the media bay.
Pressing the PWR/REC key on the camera initiates Advanced Multi-Shot mode.
To use Basic Multi-Shot mode, perform one of the following:
Press a Record key to record a one-frame clip.
Press and hold a Record key to start a new clip and continuously add frames to that clip. Release the Record key
to stop adding frames and end the clip.
ADVANCED MULTI-SHOT MODE
In this mode, the camera is continuously recording, but is not saving frames. This eliminates the delay you get in Basic
Multi-Shot mode. Since the camera is continuously recording, the camera requires the same amount of power it does
during Continuous Record (as opposed to Preview mode). Unlike Basic mode, all frames are added to one (1) clip,
instead of to separate clips.
To use Advanced Multi-Shot mode, follow the instructions below:
1. Press the PWR/REC key on the camera to start a new clip. This initial press adds one (1) frame to the clip.
2. Press the Record key on the media bay to add frames to the clip:
Press a Record key once to add a few frames to the clip. (The number of frames varies, and depends on the
buffer.)
Press and hold a Record key to continuously add frames; release the Record key to stop adding frames.
3. Press the PWR/REC key on the camera to end the clip.
NOTE: You cannot shut down the camera until you end the clip.
