RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE

955-0020_V5.1, REV-H | 45

F STOP (T STOP)

The aperture controls the depth of field of the subject imaged by the camera, and in combination with the shut-

ter speed/angle setting controls the amount of light falling on the sensor, which is the exposure.

Increasing the F stop to a higher number reduces exposure as well as increases the depth of field. Decreasing

the F stop to a lower number increases the exposure and decreases the depth of field.

You can chose either 1/3 or 1/4 stops.

RED DSMC TI PL MOUNT INSTALLED

When a lens equipped with Cooke’s S4/i system is attached to the DSMC TI PL Mount, the camera displays the

current aperture (F stop) of the attached lens.

DSMC NIKON MOUNT AND CANON MOUNT INSTALLED

The F-stop menu appears when a DSMC Nikon Mount, DSMC Canon Mount, or DSMC Canon MOTION MOUNT

is installed with a supported lens.

This adjusts the aperture (F stop) of the attached lens.
