Any major changes to this build?

[Phil Holland]

Thanks Brent and Red programmers. I just installed the OLPF Port Bushing and stepped out for a bit. Darn. I'll have to wait until later to install.

Does "Fix for invalid Canon config files" explain why only manual and confirm are enabled on my Tamron17-50 and Sigma8-16 lens's ?
No more auto focus.
Both of these worked before.

Edit: it does work now that I try again ( after re-setting up gig-e master-slave ) . Display shows focal length and focus distance now. So far so good!

[Andrew PC Smith]

Thanks Brent!
Downloading now.

Is there a way to save changes in the Media playback yet? I think I could be halfway done with a rough cut if that were possible. That and a clip delete function would be awesome! Many thanks to you guys at RED. Keep trucking, this camera is becoming more and more amazing!

[Phil Holland]

Firmware Upgrade complete. No immediate concerns, but I'll test it out more tomorrow.

Thanks Phil for checking this out ... for me ... i'm just going to wait till this goes production and you guys burn it in.

I'm using 24 fps QHD mode, and external recorder for audio for everything i do ... so I don't think this effects me.
I would like the touch screen to work a bit more "nicer" but couldn't decipher what this means:
> Fixes for touch track and continuous modes


On the other hand, I was thinking of playing around with hdrx ... and with:
> Fix for camera not booting with HDRx enabled
Not going touch HDRX until 2.0.8 goes production

I am finding these beta notices very good to read, even as I'm going not going to use them ... so I know what not to mess around with.

This camera does so much, that really I'm finding that in 24 fps at 1/24 time in QHD ... the camera is a total dream and extremely stable, and does everything I need.
I'm still testing with timecode jamming and stuff ... but so far everyone of my "problems" have been operator error.

Phil does this firmware have the red gamma 3 setting?
