RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE

MOTION + STILLS

NOTE: This mode is available in Motion mode, but is only recommended in Stills mode.

Motion + Stills mode is identical to Continuous Record, except that when you initiate recording by pressing

the PWR/REC key on the BRAIN, all other Record keys mark frames for the duration of the clip. (If you initiate

recording by pressing any other Record key, you can press any key mapped to “Record: Mark Frame” to mark

stills.)

To use Motion + Stills mode, follow the instructions below:

1. Set the camera to Stills mode.

2. Go to Menu > Settings > Recording > Mode.

3. Select Motion + Stills 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.

6. Press the PWR/REC key on the BRAIN to start recording.

7. Press a Record key on the side SSD module, REDMOTE, or DSMC Side Handle to mark a frame.

8. Press the PWR/REC key on the BRAIN to stop recording.

FRAME PROCESSING

NOTE: Frame processing is not supported in Speed Ramp Mode. For more information, go to “Speed Ramp

Mode” on page 96.

Frame processing allows for the combination of multiple captured frames into one recorded frame. The

combination occurs before the resulting frame is encoded. You can select the following frame processing

settings: No Frame Processing, Frame Summing, Frame Averaging.

When in Frame Summing mode or Frame Averaging mode, the current integration time is applied to each frame.

This means if the integration time is not the entire frame time (or 360°) there will be gaps between the images

used to create the combined frame. This may lead to unexpected motion artifacts.

The effect of frame processing is only visible during record. In Frame Summing mode, this means the exposure

will change between preview and record. Experiment with the exposure and frame processing settings to

achieve the effect you want.

NO FRAME PROCESSING

Normal frame processing mode. The Frames to Process selection does not affect recording.

FRAME SUMMING

Frame Summing combines the specified number of frames into one frame, and adds together the exposure time

for each of the original frames. The resulting frame has an effective integration time that is equal to the current

integration time multiplied by the number of frames.

For example, if you select 16 as the Frames to Process value, and set exposure to 1/48 sec, the resulting image

has an effective integration time of 1/3 sec (16 x 1/48).

Frame summing results in a final image that is brighter and possibly blurrier than any of the original frames, so

you can use frame summing to achieve the effect of long-exposure.
