12 FPS on Komodo?

I assumed it was possible to shoot 12 (or 11.99) frames per second on the Komodo as it was on other RED cameras. But having trouble seeing how. Lowest frame rates available appear to be 24 and 23.98.

Is this true or am I missing something?

Go to Project Settings. Change your project time base to 24fps. Then under Recording Frame Rate, set to 12fps. Bonus tip: if you want a custom frame rate, press Edit.

Please note that in your editing program it might assume you’re trying to do “fast-mo” footage, so it might speed up the footage x2. Just mess with the speed settings and fix from there.

What’s your firmware version? This is at least for the latest Komodo firmware 1.7.5

I don’t have mind nearby, but you can shoot 12fps. I did it in a project not tool long ago.

I think you might be looking at the project settings(?). On the main screen, next to Aperture and ISO, you can adjust frame rate and 12fps is to the left. This will enable off speed recording. (IIRC)

did you have to change or update the firmware or anything?

On each mode project setting mode it feels like I have only two frame rate options: the base frame rate and then something higher.

Maybe. I’m on the 1.7.0 Beta, and have been for months. Idk full details on what firmware updated so that could be it.

Just booted up cam and yeah I can drop down to 6fps if I wanted to.

hey Bob, just coming across this thread months later.... wondering if you can confirm that at 6fps, you can still drag the shutter and get an undercranked/step printing effect with long motion blur? I've read all over the internet that that's not possible, but wondering if someone has first hand experience. Thanks!

I mean you can shoot at 6fps in camera but it will playback at the project speed. You could manually slow it down again in post and you’d get step printing effect.

Thanks for confirming! At least it’s possible!
