RED EPIC OPERATION GUIDE

955-0002_v4.0, Rev-A | 235

Select False Color – Video: note the √ V icon in the GUI when active. This mode allows us to check the RGB

video levels of the scene. The two green squares in the upper right corner of the color chart and green in the

background indicate that the scene’s mid grey and skin tone elements, plus peak white and blacks are all at

appropriate levels.

Because the scene was well exposed, when the recorded clip is color corrected in post-production,

sufficient headroom exists for the scene’s highlight information to be displayed without clipping, and the

shadow information can be displayed without significant noise, even if the brightness of the shadow

information is pulled up.

ADJUSTING THE ISO RATING

In the following two examples, the image exposed at ISO 800 rating have had the ISO rating adjusted first to

ISO 6400 and then to ISO 100.

NOTE: Although the image and Histogram both adjust to changes in the ISO rating, the sensor RAW meters

do not change – they always indicate what is happening at the sensor level and hence where the image is

truly in noise or at clipping.
