User Key / View RAW problem

[Petri Teittinen]

I have an odd issue with VIEW RAW when mapped to a User Key. I've tried mapping to user keys 1 and 2, with the same effect.

The issue being that the view gets stuck in RAW mode, and pressing the User key does not toggle RAW view. Weirdly enough the button works like it should after I've mapped the function to the key, but stops working once the camera is shut down. In other words, the toggle no longer works after a re-boot.

I can force it to work by entering the menu and mapping the function to another User Key. But again, the button only works until the camera is shut down.

I'm now on 30.6.12 and the issue is still present. I first noticed the problem in the firmware which fixed the noisy blue channel (can't remember the version number, though).

I get this all the time. After your reboot, you have to manually switch the color apace to to REDcolor and then the function button will work. Odd though.

Good to know I'm not alone in this. I was unaware of that trick, thanks!

I have this problem all the time, I have to remap just this function in the user keys, all others remain, but its not consistant

I think this is a long standing bug that's never been flagged up/moaned about too much since it's easy to work around, but yes, it's been there on every Red One I've worked with, although I'm not sure it's on every reboot.

When you have a chance, try the 31.8.10 Beta build. I am pretty sure that this was fixed somewhere along the line..

I'd need to dig into the sustaining log notes to tell you exactly where, but I do recall it was investigated ...

I have found the same issue and have just lived with it. But it would be handy to have it fixed.

STUART:

Any issues to switching to 31.8.10 mid project?

Thanks.

In the big scheme of things, no big deal. But I get that issue quite frequently. Hoping the new build makes it vanish.
Cheers,
Harry

Seeing as some folks are reporting issues after upgrading to 31.8.10 beta, I think I'll wait for the next release build instead.

Thanks for the info, Petri. You saved me
