RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE

955-0020_V5.1, REV-A | 41

F STOP

The aperture controls the depth of field of the subject imaged by the camera, and in combination with the shut-

ter speed/angle setting controls the amount of light falling on the sensor, which is the exposure.

Increasing the F stop to a higher number reduces exposure as well as increases the depth of field. Decreasing

the F stop to a lower number increases the exposure and decreases the depth of field.

You can chose either 1/3 or 1/4 stops.

RED DSMC TI PL MOUNT INSTALLED

When a lens equipped with Cooke’s S4/i system is attached to the DSMC TI PL Mount, the camera displays the

current aperture (F stop) of the attached lens.

DSMC NIKON MOUNT AND CANON MOUNT INSTALLED

The F-stop menu appears when a DSMC Nikon Mount, DSMC Canon Mount, or DSMC Canon MOTION MOUNT

is installed with a supported lens.

This adjusts the aperture (F stop) of the attached lens.

Select the Advanced... button to access the Settings > Setup > Lens screen. For more information about the

advanced focus settings, go to “Autofocus Modes (DSMC Nikon and Canon Mounts)” on page 86.

EXPOSURE

Select the exposure of each frame captured by the sensor. Shutter speed presets are provided for all common

speeds (and shutter angles) for 24/25 FPS and 50/60 FPS project frame rates.

Decreasing shutter speed increases the amount of time during which light falls on the sensor, increasing expo-

sure and motion blur on any objects moving within the frame. Increasing shutter speed shortens the amount of

time during which light falls on the sensor, decreasing exposure and motion blur on objects moving within the

frame.

From the Exposure menu, you can set the exposure value as a shutter speed (1/xx sec) or a shutter angle (xx

degrees). For more information on how to change whether shutter or shutter angle displays, go to “Display

Modes” on page 52.

If the camera is able to achieve the target exposure, the exposure value displays in white. If the camera is un-

able to achieve the target exposure, the exposure value displays in yellow.

Select the Advanced... button to access the Settings > Project > Exposure screen. For more information about

these settings, go to “Exposure” on page 52.

EXPOSURE (SHUTTER SPEED)

Enter the exposure value as a shutter speed (1/xx sec).

With the exception of EPIC DRAGON, the slowest available speed is 1/frame rate, so for 24 FPS, the slowest

speed is 1/24 sec. In EPIC DRAGON, the slowest available speed is 1/8 sec, regardless of the sensor frame

rate.

Default is 1/48 sec.

ANGLE

Enter the exposure value as a shutter angle (xx degrees).

Range is 1.000–360.000°.

Default is 180.000°.

WHITE BALANCE

Allows you to manually set Color Temperature in the range from 1,700 to 100,000 KELVIN.
