Calibration Capture (Sensor Calibration)

Not including preparation time, the calibration procedure takes several minutes. To calibrate the sensor, follow the instructions below:

1. Ensure that the camera reaches the temperature that you want to use for your shoot.
2. Set the exposure to the exposure that you want to use for your shoot.
3. Ensure that the sensor is as dark as possible.
   • Preferably, take off the lens, and install the front body cap.
   • If you cannot take off the lens, put a lens cap on the lens. (Not all lens caps completely block IR. Lens caps are made to protect the lens, not necessarily to block light.)
   • If possible, use a dark room.
   • Just closing the aperture is NOT sufficient.

4. Go to Menu > Settings > Maintenance > Calibrate > Sensor.
5. Select Create....
6. For EPIC MYSTERIUM-X or SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X, select one (1) of the following:
   • Save As user HS: The calibration map created by calibrating the sensor will overwrite the user HS calibration map. User HS is the name for the current in-camera user-created calibration map.
   • Save To Media: The calibration map created by calibrating the sensor will be saved to an SSD.
   • Leave both Save check boxes deselected: The calibration will only be applied until the camera turns off, and will not be saved.

7. For EPIC MYSTERIUM-X or SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X, select the exposure you want to use for the calibration from the drop-down menu.
8. For EPIC DRAGON or SCARLET DRAGON, select how many calibration maps you want to create from the Number of captures drop-down menu. You can create up to four (4) calibration maps at a time.
9. For EPIC DRAGON or SCARLET DRAGON, select the exposure you want for each calibration map from the Capture drop-down menus.
10. Select OK on the dialog box that opens. The system initializes and then makes multiple passes through the following phases of the calibration:
    • Capturing
    • Analyzing
    • Erasing
    • Programming

11. When the Calibration Successful dialog displays, select OK to complete the process.

    The new calibration map is automatically selected.
