APERTURE
The aperture (also known as the T stop or F stop) 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 aperture to a higher number increases the depth of field, but reduces the exposure (brightness).
Decreasing the aperture to a lower number decreases the depth of field, but increases the exposure
(brightness).

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.
The RECODE compression affects the overall quality of the footage. A lower compression (for example: 2:1)
increases the quality of the footage, while a higher compression (for example: 22:1) lowers the quality.
For more information, go to
“R3D File Format and REDCODE” on page 10
.
REDCODE range is 2:1 to 22:1. Default is 8:1.
For maximum available REDCODE values, see the
