Even if you are not saving the calibration map to the DSMC, an SSD is required to store RAW images during

calibration.

5. Go to Menu > Settings > Maintenance > Calibrate > Sensor.

NOTE: If the calibration map name is “empty”, that means that the only calibration map on your camera is

the factory calibration.

6. For EPIC DRAGON or SCARLET DRAGON, you can create up to four (4) calibration maps at a time. Select

a check box for each calibration map you want, select the exposure you want for each from the drop-down

menus, and go to Step 10.

7. For EPIC MYSTERIUM-X or SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X, select one (1) of the following:

‒ Save As user HS: The calibration map created by black shading will overwrite the user HS calibration

map. User HS is the name for the current in-camera user-created calibration map.

‒ Save To Media: The calibration map created by black shading will be saved to an SSD.

‒ Leave both Save check boxes deselected: The calibration will only be applied until the camera turns off,

and will not be saved.

8. For EPIC MYSTERIUM-X or SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X, select the last check box. The label for the check box

is the name of the user-created calibration map you will be overwriting.

NOTE: If the calibration map name is “empty”, that means that the only calibration map on your camera is

the factory calibration.

NOTE: The Start Capture button is disabled until you select this check box.
