The maximum frame counts are listed in the Available column, and are based on format and REDCODE.
SPEED RAMP MODE

Speed Ramp mode lets you program the current sensor frame rate to transition to different sensor frame rates
during recording.

‒ Ramp A/B/C/D : Each ramp target is tied to a specific Target/Duration combination.
‒ Ramp Reset : Ramp to the starting frame rate with the specified Duration.
5. Set the Target frame rate.
6. Set the Duration , which is how long it takes to transition from the current frame rate to the target frame rate.
7. Go to Menu > Settings > Setup > Keys and program a key to start the speed ramp:

The frame rate transitions to the target frame rate during the duration you set up.
NOTE: If using speed ramp mode, select an exposure that is valid for each ramp target frame rate. If the camera
ramps to a frame rate that is incompatible with the current exposure, the exposure changes to the longest
exposure possible for the frame rate.
