APPENDIX A: UPGRADING CAMERA FIRMWARE

RED EPIC camera functionality may be upgraded by installing the latest firmware.
Camera firmware is identified by Version and SVN number, which will be displayed by the camera on the
LCD display when SYSTEM INFO is selected. A higher number reflects a later release.
Make a habit of frequently visiting
firmware, Operations Guide updates, and postproduction software.
Your REDmote also requires a firmware upgrade. Go to APPENDIX E: REDMOTE OPERATION >
MAINTENANCE > UPGRADING REDMOTE FIRMWARE.
IMPORTANT: After upgrading your camera firmware to v1.6.46 or higher, you CANNOT roll back the
firmware to lower than 1.6.46.

VERIFY CURRENT CAMERA FIRMWARE

With the camera ON, select SECONDARY MENUS > SETTINGS > MAINTENANCE > SYSTEM INFO.
The camera's P.I.N. number and current firmware version will be displayed. EPIC-M shown, EPIC-X
similar. Earlier firmware version shown for reference only.
