DSMC2 Camera Prep [Part 2] | RED TECH Video Lecture | Camera: Its Basics and functioning (Educational Series) - Photography

hey guys this is red tech and part two
of our camera prep crash course I'm Nate
Hart and in this episode I want to cover
the general layout of the UI where to
find common settings and just a few
general pointers let's get it going
the indication that power is being
supplied to the camera will be a green
light at the connector on the epic
bodies this was indicated by a red light
at the button simply press the button
once there's no need to hold it and the
camera will begin at the boot process
when the light is green the camera is
fully initialized let's start with the
red pro seven inch LCD the top row the
LCD is home to all the things that
you're likely going to need to access on
the fly that's your frame rate ISO
aperture if you use incompatible lenses
your shutter speed your color
temperature your resolution and your red
code compression all right so touch
whatever item you want to adjust and the
slider will drop down slide to the
desired value and then close in the
upper right corner or touch just below
the slider to enter the advanced menu
all you need to do is press and hold on
item this will offer additional settings
for that specific selection you'll
notice that certain items went yellow
this is letting me know that we are off
speed from the project time base and the
camera has adjusted the compression on
its own to manage the amount of data
being pushed to the car when you set
your frame rate back the camera will
automatically return all the values to
their original setting on the bottom
you'll find playback in the bottom left
you'll find exposure and status
indicators here in the middle and then
your audio vu meter over on the right
just to throw out a few key points the
two temperatures down here below right
here this is the sensor temperature and
the core temperature the green tea and a
just below that lets you know if the
cameras black shading is within it's
calibrated temperature and exposure time
if the temperature or exposure changed
significantly it will go plus or minus
yellow or red during long takes the tea
will naturally go yellow but the camera
will do its job to pull it down once you
cut generally not that big of a deal
this right here is your meet
a percentage and your indication that
you were recording raw or 3d files or
proxy ProRes the index files directly to
the read-back pressing the media
percentage will pull up the menu and
allow you to format or eject your Mac
now I generally suggest that formatting
is done in the menus whereas ejecting
the mag is done on the side of the
camera by pressing the two user Keys
simultaneously pressing both of them
keeps your fingers as far away from the
format menu as possible even though
cameras ask you multiple times if you
want to format I've seen accidents
happen touching the vu meter will pull
up your audio menu the camera has two
built-in mics on the front of the camera
now this is great for scratch audio
helping align clips but it does mean
that conversations could potentially be
heard near the camera and potentially
broadcast via the audio embedded in the
FBI to video village to change this turn
cam internals to none now let's do
something important let's make the
shutter displayed at something a little
bit more familiar
let's hit the menu go to settings
display and modes here I want to change
it from time absolute over to angle
relative this will now display the
shutter in degrees and maintain a 180
degree shutter relative to any framerate
you decide to run the camera at okay
since we're here we can also decide if
you want to feed battery percentage
versus total time or maybe media
percentage versus time remaining on the
card the menu path is always displayed
in the upper left hand corner and on the
right there's a Help button they offer
some useful information related to the
specific page that you're on let's take
a quick break to digest all of this and
then we'll get into the next segment
we'll chat about remote trigger guide
black shading fan all that sort of stuff
alright stop a break
you
