  • Page 19 RED MOTION MOUNT OPERATION GUIDE OUT-OF-FOCUS FIELD MODIFICATION Use of “ND Only” with a high ND value and wide aperture may cause unwanted results, including distortion or flaring in the out-of-focus field. In some instances, vignetting may also occur at the edge of the image. This is typical when using lenses with smaller image circles.

  • Page 20: Display Effective Iso

    RED MOTION MOUNT OPERATION GUIDE DISPLAY EFFECTIVE ISO NOTE: RED recommends that you follow standard exposure best practices and select your ISO value based on the native ISO. When using any ND filter, including the MOTION MOUNT, the effective ISO is reduced because the ND filter reduces light transmission to the sensor.
