APERTURE
The aperture (also known as the T stop or F stop) parameter displays when a compatible mount and lens are
installed. The aperture controls the depth of field of the image and, in combination with the shutter speed/angle
setting, controls the amount of light that reaches the sensor (exposure).
Increasing the aperture to a higher number increases the depth of field, but reduces the exposure (brightness).
Decreasing the aperture to a lower number decreases the depth of field, but increases the exposure
(brightness).

The current compression ratio is automatically recalculated when changes are made to the project resolution,
aspect ratio, anamorphic setting, frame rate, HDRx mode, media, or the target REDCODE compression ratio.
MYSTERIUM-X: Range is 3:1 to 18:1. Default is 8:1.
RED DRAGON: Range is 2:1 to 22:1. Default is 8:1.
