of optimum focusing and back again in decreasing amplitude -- as when 'zeroing-in' for precision
manual focus.
AUTO FOCUS
NOTE: The following menus will ONLY appear if a RED EPIC Canon EOS Mount is installed with a
Canon lens attached.
With a RED EPIC Canon EOS Mount installed and a Canon EF Lens attached, available options become
MANUAL, CONFIRM, SINGLE, CONTINUOUS, TOUCH TRACK, and RACK. Default is MANUAL.
All settings except MANUAL places a single square (Center) or a single rectangle (Spot) on the screen
(depending on the ZONES selection) that indicate where the image is in focus.
Pressing the designated button for spot focus (REDmote / Side Handle button A default) will cycle you
through each Focus Mode option in order as you press the button repeatedly.
Performance of Auto Focus may be reduced under the following conditions:
• The subject is dark or distant.
• There is inadequate contrast between the subject and background.
• The scene has reflective highlights.
• The subject is backlit.
• There is inadequate surface contrast/detail inside the window.
NOTE: Edge Mode can be used for additional assistance in these conditions. Refer to SETTINGS
