Canon EF Mount. The sturdy titanium lens mount lets you use approved Canon EF/EF-S lenses as well as third party EF manufacturers like Sigma, Tokina, and Tamron (a complete list of supported lenses can be found here). Please note, there are very real and extensively documented problems with lenses not included on Red’s approved list. Using any lens that is not on the official list, is done at your own risk.

Built-in Variable ND. Allows electronic adjustment of ND filtration (up to 2.4 ND) for precise exposure. You make adjustments through your RED DSMC/DSMC2 brain’s on-screen controls.

Global Shutter. The global shutter system eliminates partial-exposure issues when working with strobes or fast subjects. It also prevents skewed and smeared image artifacts.

Soft Shutter Filter. The built-in time filter system provides cleaner pans and less cyclical motion artifacts, and eliminates flickering from displays and lights.
