EXTERNAL SETTINGS:
1) Make sure that your color correction and ND filter wheels
are where you want them. (typically 1A when shooting in a
studio with 3200K lights.)
*Remember that the 2700 and 3700 are native 3200K cameras*
2) Make sure that your MON OUT / HD SDI A-B switches are
set as desired. When in MEM mode you will see playback
from that output. Character ON will send characters out of
you monitor output.
3) Make sure that the scene file SD card is in the SD slot. It can
be found in the SD kit in the camera bag if not in camera.
4) Most of the time you want to use the camera in save mode. (Switch is
indicated on the right). This will save the cameras battery life but will
require a couple of seconds in order to start recording. When ON, it
will also turn off your LCD display on the side of the camera. You
can avoid this by going to :
MAIN MENU>SYSTEM SETTING>OPTION MODE>SAVE SW(LCD)>OFF
5) The 3 user switches on the side of the camera can be customized by
going to:
MAIN MENU>CAM OPERATION>USER SW
6) When attaching the paintbox, make sure to power down camera while
plugging in to avoid any power surges.
7) Set timecode. Default setting is NDF but if doing DF time-of-day you can change by going to:
MAIN MENU>MAIN OPERATION>TC/UB>TC MODE
8) Always start in Gain (L)
9) Make sure Auto Knee is set to OFF
10) If using a Titan power supply, it is always a good idea to piggy back a battery on the Titan in
case of power failure
*If using an RC10 paintbox, the gain, CAM/BARS/AUTO KNEE, shutter and white balance
switches will be inactive.*
