MOTION SENSOR CALIBRATION

The DSMC displays data from the accelerometer to help orient the camera. After a firmware upgrade or Factory

Restore, the motion sensors need to be re-calibrated.

To calibrate the motion sensors, follow the instructions below:

1. Go to Settings > Maintenance > Calibrate.

2. Select Motion.

3. Place the camera on a flat, levelled surface, and do not move the camera during calibration.

4. Select Calibrate Motion Sensors.

The sensors calibrate.

LENS CALIBRATION

There are currently a quantity of electronic lenses that are compatible with the DSMC CANON MOUNT or DSMC

NIKON MOUNT, but are not electronically supported by RED cameras. The Lens Calibration feature allows you

to create custom lens configuration files for these electronic lenses so that you can use features such as rack

focus and autofocus with your lenses.

While the custom configuration files will not be as precise as the files for the lenses that are fully electronically

supported by RED cameras, the files will provide the F-stop range and focal lengths so that you can electroni-

cally control the lens with the camera.

NOTE: The camera may not be able to calibrate some electronic lenses.

CREATE LENS CALIBRATION FILES

The calibration process creates a calibration file for the current focal length of the electronic lens. Calibrate the

lens at each of your camera’s focal lengths to create a full lens calibration file.

1. Attach a DSMC CANON MOUNT or DSMC NIKON MOUNT.

2. Attach an electronic lens.

3. Manually set the first focal length you want to calibrate.

4. There are two ways to start the lens calibration process:

‒ When you attach a lens that the camera does not recognize as being fully electronically supported, the

“Unsupported Lens Found” dialog box displays and asks if you want to calibrate the lens. Select Create
