Quick test for any early camera owners

[Kevin Halverson]

I have a test request for any of the current camera owner's. This is a really simple test and should only take a moment to make.

Here is what I need.

Shoot a diffuse light source (back lit silk would be perfect) and hit it with enough light to assure that every receptor is fully saturated (clipped). Several stops over exposed at a minimum, the idea is to assure that there are no sites that will yield any value other than D min. Then all I need is one .rd3 frame from this situation.

The second part of the test is the same, but this time with the lens or body cap on. Again, I only need one frame of .r3d.

Thanks to anyone who might be able to accomplish this for me, I will be very grateful.

What are you testing for?

[Kevin Halverson]

Actually, several things. The first test will, if my assumption is correct, will define the minimum size .r3d file possible. The second test is actually the first part of a series of tests that I want to run, but since it is so simple and very like the first one, I thought it would be simple enough to accomplish at the same time. Once I have some data, I will be happy to share the results with anyone interested.

Then all I need is one .rd3 frame from this situation.


you can't have one fame of .rd3, only one frame of another file format (DPX, TIFF, ETC) created from the .r3d file - which is contains frames in a single file (or files if your shot exceeds 2G size limit of FAT32)

[Rocco Schult]

shooting a full a second and dividing the result by whatever-framerate might solve the problem. shouldn't take significantly longer than the requested frame.

Is the minimum shot duration limited by how quickly you can press the stop-start button? I understand from Jarred's post that the beta firmware now being tested, which does up to 72 fps in 2k cropped mode, also goes down to 1 fps.

Assuming that the interval function isn't yet enabled, then the shortest practical duration will certainly suffice.
