IronFilm Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Has any one noticed with anamorphic mode that the REDs (specifically a Scarlet-W) are noiser than shooting spherical? As the DoP is arguing the case that the camera needs to "do more" (such as desqueezing the image for monitoring) when in anamorphic mode, thus why the camera is hotter/louder than usual and he can't make it quieter. I did want to try out normal vs anamorphic mode. But had no hands on time myself with the camera to figure it out. Plus there were only shooting anamorphic anyway, so would have made no difference over all. However, thought I'd start a thread here any way to gather more info of if others have experienced this as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Yes. I just shot on the Helium 8k and it is definitely working overtime on 8K anamorphic. Looks great at lower ISOs though. Here is a frame w/ the Master Anamorphic 50mm. There's no noticeable heat but the fan is working hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 By a bit of a coincidence this was EXACTLY the same Scarlet Weapon as from my previous upload to my YT channel, as by chance it was the same DoP on this video. And this time around the Scarlet-W was silent (wasn't last time! Arrrgh), yay, great! I strongly suspect the reason for the difference was the fact we were not shooting in anamorphic this time around. (which is a lot of hard work for the camera to do, which makes the camera get hotter, thus making the fan spin faster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
