EXPOSURE

Select the exposure of each frame captured by the sensor. Shutter speed presets are provided for all common

speeds (and shutter angles) for 24/25 FPS and 50/60 FPS project frame rates.

Decreasing shutter speed increases the amount of time during which light falls on the sensor, increasing expo-

sure and motion blur on any objects moving within the frame. Increasing shutter speed shortens the amount of

time during which light falls on the sensor, decreasing exposure and motion blur on objects moving within the

frame.

From the Exposure menu, you can set the exposure value as a shutter speed (1/xx sec) or a shutter angle (xx

degrees). For more information on how to change whether shutter or shutter angle displays, go to “Display

Modes” on page 51.

If the camera is able to achieve the target exposure, the exposure value displays in white. If the camera is un-

able to achieve the target exposure, the exposure value displays in yellow.

NOTE: If the camera ramps to a frame rate that it cannot maintain with the exposure setting, the camera changes

the exposure to the longest exposure possible for the frame rate. To maintain consistent exposure throughout

the recording, select an exposure that is valid at all ramp target frame rates. For more information on speed

ramp mode, go to “Speed Ramp Mode” on page 69.

EXPOSURE (SHUTTER SPEED)

Enter the exposure value as a shutter speed (1/xx sec).

With the exception of EPIC DRAGON, the slowest available speed is 1/frame rate, so for 24 FPS, the slowest

speed is 1/24 sec. In EPIC DRAGON, the slowest available speed is 1/8 sec, regardless of the sensor frame

rate.

The fastest available speed is 1/131,579 sec (7.6 microseconds).

Default is 1/48 sec.

INTEGRATION TIME

Enter the exposure value as a shutter integration time (xx milliseconds).

The range of available integration times depends on the sensor frame rate.

In EPIC MYSTERIUM-X and SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X, the slowest available speed is 1000 ms (Exposure: 1/1

sec). In EPIC DRAGON, the slowest available speed is 125.109 ms (Exposure: 1/8 sec).

Default is 20.833 ms.

ANGLE

Enter the exposure value as a shutter angle (xx degrees).

Range is 1.000–360.000°.

Default is 180.000°.
