VARISPEED
When a sensor frame rate other than the current project time base is selected, the FPS text turns yellow and
the word VARISPEED replaces the Audio Meter in the lower right corner of the display.
Audio is not recorded in VARISPEED mode.
EPIC DRAGON FRAME RATES
The table below describes the maximum frame rate for each resolution of the EPIC DRAGON camera.
The minimum frame rate is always 1 FPS.
The table below omits rows for the anamorphic formats, since the maximum frame rate for each anamorphic
format and the corresponding non-anamorphic format is the same.
NOTE: All frame rates in the table below are based on a 23.98 time base, 8:1 compression, and with Lookaround
disabled.
