Remove battery wait a few seconds
and replace battery.
Check the (Lens Interface) settings
and turn the (Lens Interface) to OFF
unless you are using lenses with the
Arri or Cooke interface.
It's recommended that you perform
an (All Reset) in (System) if this
occurs.
Try re-seating the WiFi Dongle, a
loose WiFi Dongle can cause the
camera to hang.
Check that the HDSDI and HDMI
outputs are enabled in the (Video –
Output On/Off AND Video – Output
Format) pages of the menu. If still no
output, perform an (System - all
reset) and re-start the camera.
The R5 raw recorder will only operate
in the Cine-EI Mode. In addition you
need to set the operating mode
(System – Base Setting – Shooting
Mode) to RAW and you must set the
(Recording – Rec Control) to AXS
for raw on the R5 only or AXS + SXS
for raw plus internal SxS.
Check the (Camera - Lens Interface
- Setting) settings and turn the (Lens
Interface) to OFF unless you are
using lenses with the Arri or Cooke
interface.
Check the (Lens Interface) settings
and turn the (Lens Interface) to
(TYPE C).
4K HDSDI and HDMI output is only
available on the PMW-F55 and only
when the camera is recording 4K
internally on the SXS cards. If using
the R5 to record 4K you can only
record 2K/HD on the SxS cards, so
cannot get a 4K HDSDI or HDMI
output.
Proxy recording (XAVC + Mpeg2 on
same SxS card) is only available on
the F55 and only works when the
camera is recording 4K XAVC YPbPr.
