Lens Data
If you are using a lens with in built electronics that communicate with your camera, you can see
the lens model information here. To change or add any information regarding the lens you are
using, press the ‘lens data’ option above.
For more information refer to the ‘lens data metadata’ section in this manual.
Reel
Displays the current reel.
Your camera automatically increments reel numbers, so there is usually no need to enter this
manually. When you are moving to a new project and want to start from reel ‘1’ again go into the
project tab of the slate and tap ‘reset project data’.
Scene
The ‘scene’ indicator shows the current scene number, and can also show the current shot
number and type.
The number on this indicator always refers to the current scene. You can adjust it with the left
and right arrows on either side of the scene number, or tap the scene number to enter the
scene number editor.
Scene numbers range from 1 to 9999.
By adding a letter to the scene number in the scene number editor, you can also indicate the
current shot. For example 23A indicates scene twenty three, shot one. If you have a shot letter
added to your scene number, your camera suggests the next scene number and shot letter
whenever you enter the scene number editor. For example, ifyour current scene number is 7B,
the camera suggests ‘8’ and ‘7C’.
The scene number indicator can also show information about the current shot type in the top
right corner. You can select these in the scene number editor at the right hand side of the
shotkeyboard.
The shot types available are:
WS wide shot
MS medium shot
MCU medium close up
CU close up
BCU big close up
ECU extreme close up
