RED DSMC OPERATION GUIDE

EXPOSURE
  Time (Absolute): Displays the exposure time in seconds (1/xx sec). When you change the frame rate in this 
mode, the shutter time stays the same, but the shutter angle changes. This is the default.
  Angle (Relative): Displays the exposure as an angle (1–360 degrees). When you change the frame rate in this 
mode, the shutter angle stays the same, but the exposure time changes. 
NOTE: If the target you select is not currently achievable, the shutter speed turns yellow, which indicates that 
the camera is using the closest available shutter speed. Unachievable settings are grayed out on the Exposure 
spin wheel until you change a parameter that’s limiting the shutter speed (such as sensor frame rate).
APERTURE
  1/4 F#: Aperture spinner shows 1/4 stops.
  1/3 F#: Aperture spinner shows 1/3 stops. This is the default.
FOCUS DISTANCE
  Metric: Displays lens focus distances in meters.
  Imperial: Displays lens focus distances in feet and inches. This is the default.
REMAINING POWER
  Current Batt %: Displays the remaining percentage of active battery. This is the default.
  Total Time: Displays the total run-time left of battery power, taking into account all available batteries.
VU METER SOURCE
  Input: Displays levels of audio inputs (pre-mixer). This is the default.
  Output: Displays levels of audio outputs (post-mixer).
HISTOGRAM
  RGB: Displays red, green, and blue channels on histogram. This is the default.
  Luma: Displays luma channel on histogram.
MOTION MOUNT ND
Only applicable when using a DSMC
®
 RED MOTION MOUNT
TM
.
Select how the ND value displays in the top left corner of the main screen. 
  Fraction: Displays the neutral density value as a fraction of light transmission. This is the default.
  Density: Displays the neutral density value as an optical density value.
  Stop: Displays the neutral density value as a stop loss.
MOTION MOUNT ISO PULL
Only applicable when using a DSMC
®
 RED MOTION MOUNT
TM
.
When using any ND filter, including the MOTION MOUNT, the effective ISO is reduced because the ND filter 
reduces light transmission to the sensor. The MOTION MOUNT and DSMC give you the ability to see both the 
effective ISO (on the main screen) and the native camera sensor ISO (in the FLUT screen).
  On: Displays the effective ISO. While the effective ISO is displayed on the main screen, you should continue 
to follow standard exposure best practices and select your ISO based on the camera’s native ISO.
  Off: Displays actual ISO. This is the default.
