F STOP (T STOP)
The F Stop (also known as the T Stop or aperture) parameter displays when a compatible mount and lens are
installed. The aperture controls the depth of field of the image and, in combination with the shutter speed/angle
setting, controls the amount of light that reaches the sensor (exposure).
Increasing the F stop to a higher number increases the depth of field, but reduces the exposure (brightness).
Decreasing the F stop to a lower number decreases the depth of field, but increases the exposure (brightness).
RED DSMC TI PL MOUNT INSTALLED
The current aperture (F stop) of the attached lens displays when a DSMC Ti PL Mount is installed and a
supported lens equipped with Cooke’s S4/i system is attached.
DSMC NIKON MOUNT AND CANON MOUNT INSTALLED
The F Stop menu is visible when a DSMC Nikon Mount, DSMC Canon Mount, or DSMC Canon Motion Mount is
installed and a supported lens is attached. This enables you to adjust the aperture (F stop) of the attached lens.
Select the
Advanced... button to access the Menu > Settings > Setup > Lens screen. For more information, go to
“Autofocus Modes (DSMC Nikon and Canon Mounts)” on page 115 .
REDCODE
Select the target REDCODE compression ratio for your project.
If the camera is able to achieve the target compression ratio, the compression ratio displays in white. If the
camera is unable to achieve the target compression ratio, the compression ratio displays in yellow.
The current compression ratio is automatically recalculated when changes are made to the project resolution,
aspect ratio, anamorphic setting, frame rate, HDRx mode, media, or the target REDCODE compression ratio.
MYSTERIUM-X : Range is 3:1 to 18:1. Default is 8:1.
RED DRAGON : Range is 2:1 to 22:1. Default is 8:1.
