EXPOSURE ASSIST

The Exposure Assist menu provides access to settings for the Auto Exposure (AE) feature. The AE feature
maintains a constant image brightness, even if the actual scene brightness changes.
The AE feature is different than traditional AE, in that RED AE only controls the amount of light that hits the
sensor, either by adjusting aperture or exposure. RED AE analyzes RAW data before the ISO curve, and ensures
that the sensor matches the user-selected brightness.
AUTO EXPOSURE MODES
The Exposure Assist modes determine when the AE tools go into effect:
 Off: The AE tools are not enabled.
 Single Shot: Map one of the following actions to trigger the AE tools:
‒ AE: Start
‒ AE/AF: Start
 Continuous in Preview: The AE tools are enabled in preview only.
 Continuous in Preview/Record: The AE tools are enabled in both preview and record.
NOTE: In Stills mode, AE/AF: Start is mapped to Record Half Press by default. For more information, go to
