OLPF

NOTE: The OLPF menu is only available on an EPIC DRAGON or SCARLET DRAGON.

RED offers multiple optical low-pass filters (OLPFs) for the EPIC DRAGON and SCARLET DRAGON. Each OLPF optimizes certain characteristics to take full advantage and control of each shooting environment. The camera checks the OLPF type, and adjusts the color science based on the selected OLPF.

To view your OLPF type, go to Menu > Settings > Maintenance > OLPF. The OLPF that is installed in your camera displays in the OLPF Type field.

Check Installed OLPF (If You Have a Fixed OLPF)

If your camera has a fixed OLPF (if you do not have the DSMC interchangeable OLPF system), then your camera automatically detects which OLPF is installed.

To see which OLPF is installed when you have a fixed OLPF, follow the instructions below:

1. Go to Menu > Settings > Maintenance > OLPF. The OLPF type displays
   • SKIN TONE-HIGHLIGHT: Also known as “OLPF, Version 2”. Currently shipping in new cameras unless otherwise requested.
   • LOW LIGHT OPTIMIZED: Also known as “OLPF, Version 1”.

Select OLPF Type (If You Have the DSMC Interchangeable OLPF System)

If your camera has the DSMC interchangeable OLPF system, then you must select the correct OLPF type that is installed.

Select your OLPF type by following the instructions below:

1. Go to Menu > Settings > Maintenance > OLPF.
2. Select your OLPF type from the Type drop-down menu.

   IMPORTANT: Ensure that the correct OLPF type is selected from the drop-down menu. Failure to select the correct OLPF type affects color accuracy.

   NOTE: If you are unsure which OLPF is installed, go to Verify Installed OLPF.
