MULTI-SHOT
NOTE: Multi-Shot mode is only available on an EPIC DRAGON or SCARLET DRAGON.
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.
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 Record keys on the side SSD modules, REDMOTE, and DSMC Side Handle. Pressing
the PWR/REC key on the BRAIN 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 BRAIN to start a new clip. This initial press adds one (1) frame to the clip.
2. Press a Record key on the side SSD module, REDMOTE, or DSMC Side Handle to add frames to the clip:
‒ Press a Record key once to add three (3) frames to the clip.
‒ 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 BRAIN to end the clip.
NOTE: You cannot shut down the camera until you end the clip.
ENABLE MULTI-SHOT MODE
To enable Multi-Shot mode, follow the instructions below:
1. Set the camera to Stills mode.
2. Go to Menu > Settings > Recording > Mode.
3. Select Multi-Shot from the Mode drop-down menu.
4. Use the Limit Recording to fields to set the recording to end at a predefined frame limit (optional).
5. Close the menu.
