Variable: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperatures is below 50°F/10°C. In
variable mode, the fan runs at a continuously variable speed in both preview and record. At low
ambient temperatures the fan will run at minimum speed. At higher ambient temperature, the
fan will run faster to maintain the camera body within its operating temperature limits.
Hot: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is between 86°F/32°C and
104°F/40C. In hot mode, the fan runs at its maximum speed. Other camera cooling precautions
may be necessary, such as shading the camera from sunlight and use of a cold gel pack.
Standard: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 86F/ 32C. In
standard mode, the fan will run at half its maximum speed when in record.
Quiet: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 72°F/25°C. In quiet
mode the fan runs at one quarter its maximum speed when in record.
Silent: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 60°F/15°C. In silent
mode the fan runs at its minimum speed when in record.
Black Shading: allows the camera to self-calibrate sensor output for optimum black levels.
Note: before starting a Black Shading calibration, ensure that you place a lens cap that
blocks all light on your lens. Insert a formatted CF card into the camera (or attached a
formatted RED-DRIVE). Ideally re-format the media before proceeding to ensure suffi-
cient space is available to perform the record task.
Note: It is very important that no light reaches the sensor. If Black Shading is performed
without capping the lens, the black level calculation will be incorrect. To rectify, repeat
the Black Shading procedure with a lens cap installed.
Press the BLACK SHADING button, and the camera monitoring outputs will report -
Start Restore
Press the START button, and the camera monitoring outputs will report -
You are about to modify the camera’s factory calibration. You should take this step only
when advised to do so by a factory representative.
Before continuing, make sure the lens cap is securely in place.
The sensor must remain unexposed to light for the duration of this process.
