3. SETTINGS AND ADVANCED OPERATIONS
3.1 Footage and Slate
When starting a new project, please make sure:
 Project FPS: the fps used by playback clips, editing clips or delivery
matches up with the project FPS of the camera. For example: 24fps
for feature movie and 25fps for TV (PAL). Project FPS should not be
changed after the project kicks off;
 Slate information: set clip name, director's name, DoP's name, etc. of
the project. You can find all the information in slate.txt.
 Codec: choose in-camera ProRes;
 Project Blanking: choose from 2.4:1, 2:1, 17:9, 16:9, 4:3 or Instagram
ratio 1:1, also 9:16 and 1:2 for smartphone screens. Project
Blanking is also applicable for anamorphic shooting.
Codec : based on the project and post workflow:
 In-camera ProRes: most of the projects can be recorded in
ProRes 422HQ (Visually lossless), and in-camera oversampling
to 4K ProRes with high image quality, efficiency and reliability.
Set the project and clip information, such as Project Name, DoP's Name,
Roll Num., Take Num. and so on, in [MENU]
 Set Project FPS: [MENU  Shooting  Project FPS]
 Set Slate: [MENU  Shooting  Slate]
 Set Project Blanking: [MENU  Shooting  Project Blanking]
Use the wheel and the shortcut button [FPS] to change the information.
Everything will be on the Slate and the SSD Roll Label, see the example
on the right:
Before a new project, we suggest setting Scene Num., Roll Num. and
Take Num. as "1". Then Roll Num. of the SSD card will be incremented by
1 each time of shooting after formatted in the camera, convenient for
DIT backing-up clips. The roll number is changeable when formatting
SSD.
NOTICE Project Blanking only acts as a reference for monitoring, the
camera records the full active image.
