FILE FORMAT
Use File Format to select the format that the camera uses to record image files.
When you change the file format, a message warns you that the camera must be rebooted to complete the change:
R3D REDCODE FILE FORMAT
The RED R3D file format records images in a compressed RAW format. In comparison to Apple ProRes, REDCODE
RAW data does not bake in image settings like ISO, saturation, or LUTs, allowing more flexibility in post-processing
workflows without reducing image quality or dynamic range. Instead R3D files store the image settings as Metadata.
You can open and process R3D files with REDCINE-X PRO or with non-linear editing (NLE) software that supports the
RED SDK.
R3D is the camera's default file format.
