NTSC

PAL

4096x2096/24p 4096x2096/30p 4096x2096/60p 2048x1080/24p 2048x1080/30p 2048x1080/60p

2

PICTURE PROFILE » PP7 » SETTING » GAMMA » S-Log2

PP7 is the default proﬁle for S-Log2, Note that only S-Log2 is supported when recording RAW.

Once the camera is set to the desired frame rate, then connect to the Odyssey7Q

Set the S&Q button for RAW High Speed

3

MENU » OTHERS » RAW S&Q BUTTON SET » 4K/2K SUPER SLOW

(BACK) » REC Command » ON

NOTE: In 4K Super Slow the camera only outputs a maximum of 4K 60p, thus this mode will use internal buering, and then will need to playback the footage to an Odyssey7Q. In 4 Super Slow, the Odyssey7Q Trigger must be set to Camera.

MENU » RECORD » TRIGGER » CAMERA

NOTE: For 2K up to 240fps sustained, or 4K up to 60p sustained, but 4K 100/120 7-8 second burst.

Select your desired frame rate*:

NTSC

TIME SAVER TIP: A quicker way of doing this is once the S&Q is set to RAW HIGH SPEED, you can press and hold the S&Q button, then once the RAW Super Slow frame is highlighted, you can now switch from 120 to 240. (or 100 to 200 in record.)

TO ACCESS HIGH FRAME RATES:

120 240

100 200

» Press the S&Q button » Select 120fps or 240fps

The Odyssey7Q also has the ability of recording the buered 4K 100/120 p from the FS700. If you wish to record this set the camera to 4K RAW, and enable S&Q. Then the Odyssey7Q will record 4K100/120, for up to a 4 second burst.

RAW 4K SUPER SLOW 120FPS AND 100 FPS

i

Start Trigger - > 440 Frames End Trigger -> 440 Frames End Half Trigger -> 220 Frames

Start Trigger Processes 440 frames from when RECord button is pressed. End Trigger Sends a buer of the 440 frames prior to hitting the REC button. End Half Trigger sends a buer of the 220 frames prior to hitting the REC button.

120fps is 3.7 seconds record time - (440 frames) - 60fps playback 100fps is 4.4 seconds - (440 frames) - 50fps playback
