UPGRADE CAMERA FIRMWARE
Your camera functionality may be upgraded by installing the latest firmware. Make a habit of frequently visiting RED
Downloads at www.red.com/downloads to check for new versions of camera firmware, updated operation guides, and post production software.
VERIFY CURRENT CAMERA FIRMWARE
To see the firmware version that is currently installed on your camera, go to Menu > Settings > Maintenance > System
Status > Camera Info . A higher number reflects a later release.
UPGRADE CAMERA FIRMWARE
Install the most recent firmware. Unless otherwise specified in the release notes, you do not need to upgrade to any firmware in between your current version and the most recent version available online.
NOTE: You must calibrate the sensor after upgrading the camera. For more information, go to
"Sensor Calibration" on page 138 .
NOTE: Preset, Look, and Custom Overlay files are preserved across upgrades to v6.2.3 or later.
NOTE: On Mac ® computers with REDCINE-X PRO ® installed, RED Watchdog mounts the SSD as Read-Only by default, which means that you are unable to write files (including firmware upgrade files) to the SSD. Change the Mount preference to Read-Write before attempting to copy firmware to the SSD.
1. Connect an SSD (RED MINI-MAG ® ) to your computer.
2. Download the most recent firmware for your camera from RED Downloads at www.red.com/downloads .
3. Unzip the firmware zip file.
4. Copy the force_upgrade folder and its contents to the top level of the SSD directory.
5. Eject or unmount the SSD, and then remove the SSD.
6. Ensure that the camera is turned off.
7. Insert the SSD with the force_upgrade folder into your camera.
8. Turn on the camera.
The upgrade runs automatically.
During upgrade, the fans run at high speed and the PWR and REC LEDs flash green. After approximately 15 seconds, the LEDs stop flashing and the camera turns off. Nothing displays on the external monitors during the upgrade.
9. After the camera turns off, remove the SSD and wait 10 seconds.
10. Turn on the camera.
The camera may take 30 seconds or longer to upgrade all of the attached RED devices. During this time the PWR and
REC LEDs flash green and nothing displays on the external monitors.
11. If this is your first time upgrading firmware, a pop-up menu opens with the Software License Agreement (SLA). Select
Agree . If you do not agree to the SLA, the camera cannot be used. The SLA continues to display until it is accepted.
12. Verify that the firmware version listed matches the firmware version that you downloaded. For more information, go to
"Verify Current Camera Firmware" above
.
13. Reformat the SSD before recording.
