AUTO: This setting combines VARIABLE speed fan operation while not recording, with SILENT mode
when in record. This mode is recommended for extended duration dialog recordings.
VARIABLE: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperatures are below 50°F/10°C. In variable
mode, the fan runs at a continuously variable speed in both preview and record. At low ambient tempera-
tures the fan will run at minimum speed. At higher ambient temperature, the fan will run faster to maintain
the camera body within its operating temperature limits.
HOT: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is between 86°F/32°C and 104°F/40C. In
hot mode, the fan runs at its maximum speed. Other camera cooling precautions may be necessary, such
as shading the camera from sunlight and use of a cold gel pack.
STANDARD: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 86F/ 32C. In standard
mode, the fan will run at half its maximum speed when in record.
QUIET: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 72°F/25°C. In quiet mode the
fan runs at one quarter its maximum speed when in record.
SILENT: This setting is most useful when the ambient temperature is below 60°F/15°C. In silent mode the
fan runs at its minimum speed when in record.
BLACK SHADING
Black Shading allows the camera to self-calibrate sensor output for optimum black levels.
NOTE: before starting a Black shading calibration, ensure that you place a lens cap that blocks all
light on your lens. Insert a formatted CF card into the camera (or attached a formatted RED-
DRIVE). Ideally re-format the media before proceeding to ensure sufficient space is available to
perform the record task.
NOTE: It is very important that no light reaches the sensor. If Black Shading is performed without
capping the lens, the black level calculation will be incorrect. To rectify, repeat the Black shading
procedure with a lens cap installed.
