I'm doing tests this coming weekend so might try both RC36 and RC42 and see how it holds. Thanks a mil! :)

Hi Freya, yeah, it is the modern one for SSD. The owner has a Dragon as well and uses the same SSDs for both. Operation guide is VERY much out of date so haha that's what got me worried. Unnecessarily :) Thanks for your reply! G.

Hey Miguel, lovely seeing you here :) how are things with you? Keeping busy I hope? Yeah, I think it's the Operation Guide that confused me as it seems it's not really up to date and the info I was looking for wasn't there. You guys have just confirmed pretty much what the MX owner believed to be true. It is a redone MX with the SSD module and he said I should be able to do 48fps if I scale down to 3K 2:1 which I don't mind. Will keep in mind the crop on the sensor for sure but this will not be an obstacle in this particular situation. I've worked with the Dragon before so know my ways around it, they're very intuitive indeed. Thanks for the tip on changing the SSD before and after I switch into these new settings. Better to separate this footage anyway I suppose. I've planned camera tests already cos there is more to that short scene than just the above so will be able to test all this and make sure it works fine before we go for it properly. Thanks again Miguel :) I appreciate all the advice! All the best, G.

Yes the REDMAG (as they call it in the Operation guide) is the SSD module. Gonna have plenty of those SSD and no need to save media. This scene is gonna be quite short anyway so we don't have to worry about media consumption. Thanks for the link and your advice :) g.

Yeah, I'd be happy with 1/48 and 48fps. Just want to be sure that 48fps is possible with this camera with my preferred settings. I'd rather stick to REDCODE 36. Don't mind slight decrease in resolution for this one scene if that gets me the effect I want. I'd be ok with 3K 2:1. 4K? Even more so :) thanks for your message! g.

Hi all, I'm new here and this is my first post so please be gentle. I'm only learning and shooting a short very soon. I managed to secure RED one MX for this project. My base (project) frame rate is 24fps and shooting majority on 24fps. But there is this one dream sequence I want to shoot differently. I wanted to go slightly slow motion so on higher frame rate (maybe 48, don't wanna go too slow) and wanted to enhance motion blur by slowing down the shutter. So my original shutter for all the 24fps stuff would be 1/48. Here's my question so... If I go up to 48fps should I leave the shutter at 1/48 or maybe even go down to 1/24 for a more dreamy look? Will it all work fine in the post? I'm assuming it should as I'm sticking to one fps/shutter/base frame rate scenario. Don't know who the editor is for this project just yet so can't pick his/her brain about this and also don't want to shoot myself in the foot by choosing wrong settings and I just end up making absolute balls out of this shot. All these questions come from the fact that we have a REDMAG module instead of the flash one so it seems like if I wanted to stick to 48fps I'd have to resort to very obscure ratio/resolution format. I wanted to shoot this short in 4.5K widescreen with REDCODE 36. When I inspect the Operation Guide it seems like there's no 48fps option there at all although the cinematographer friend of mine says it is possible at 3K 2:1. Is that true? Can the Operation Guide be wrong? That DP friend of mine says the OG is quite old and probably haven't been updated. Seems like there is such option in REDCODE 42 but that same DP says he wouldn't trust 42 cos it's not reliable enough. I trust his judgement completely. Any of you know what the story is? I just want to make the most informed decision and don't want to make a mistake picking my settings that will render this shot completely unusable. I will be really grateful for any advice you guys could give me :) Thanks a mil Gosia
