RECORDING

Ensure a RED-DRIVE or RED-RAM is connected or a REDFLASH Compact Flash card or REDMAG is in-

serted in the camera. To record, use either of the RECORD buttons located on the rear and left side of the

camera. Push once to begin recording, push again to stop recording. The camera will automatically create

a file name for every clip recorded on the digital magazine or media.

REDCODE RAW data recordings store the Color Temperature and Exposure (ISO) and any RGB color

processing values you use in the monitor path as metadata. This metadata is used in REDCINE-X or other

post production software as initial white balance, exposure and color correction points i.e. you can

change these if you wish when you process the RAW footage.

Timecode and Edge Code values used by the camera are Non Drop Frame (NDF); Drop Frame (DF) is not

supported. Audio is captured at 48KHz 24-bit resolution per channel, uncompressed.
