RED RANGER OPERATION GUIDE
FAN AND TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT
To select a fan control mode, go to Menu > Settings > Setup > Fan Control.
The camera is controlled by complex thermal algorithms to ensure that the sensor and camera operate at safe
temperatures. Each fan control mode affects the sensor temperature, sensor warm-up time, fan speed, and resulting
fan noise.
When selecting a fan mode, first take into consideration how each fan mode behaves, and then select a fan mode that
fits the needs of your project.
Regardless of sensor type and fan mode, you will get the best image quality by calibrating the sensor at the
temperature that you want to use for your shoot.
FAN CONTROL MODES
Select a fan control mode.
NOTE: After selecting a new fan setting, run the camera until the core temperature stabilizes, and then calibrate the
sensor.
NOTE: Manual mode requires that you actively manage the sensor temperature, because this mode focuses on
controlling fan speed and does not target a narrow sensor temperature range. Use the T/E status indicators as guides
for proper temperature calibration.
NOTE: Maximum speeds are intended as target speeds only; actual fan speeds may be higher at times due to long
recording times or high ambient temperatures.
ADAPTIVE (TARGET TEMPERATURE)
Select a Target Temperature and the fans self- adjust to maintain the selected temperature. The default Target
Temperature is 39°C. After the camera reaches the Target Temperature, and if the ambient temperature remains
constant, Adaptive mode results in a consistent fan speed and fan noise over time.
Targeting a higher temperature raises the sensor temperature, lengthens the sensor warm-up time, and lowers the fan
speed. Targeting a lower temperature lowers the sensor temperature, shortens the sensor warm- up time, and
increases the fan speed.
NOTE: The intent of Target Temperature is to set the sensor temperature so that you can then create a calibration map
for that temperature.
NOTE: When the camera turns on, the Target Temperature is the temperature of the current calibration map, regardless
of what the Target Temperature was before you turned off the camera. Setting a calibration map also overrides the
Target Temperature. For more information, go to "Sensor Calibration" on page 138.
QUIET
Quiet is the default mode for the camera.
The fans self-adjust to maintain the lowest possible noise level in record and standby mode while still cooling the
camera.
MANUAL
Select a speed for the fans in both record and standby modes. The fans self-adjust to maintain the selected speeds.
The default Maximum Record Speed is 50% and the default Maximum Preview Speed is 75%. The range for both
Maximum Record Speed and Maximum Preview Speed is 20–100%.
POST RECORD DELAY
Select the amount of time that it takes for the fan to switch from record to preview mode.
