Camera Overview — RED EPIC

The RED EPIC Digital Cinema Camera is a modular professional cinema camera built around a Super 35 sensor capable of capturing up to 6K resolution at 6144 x 3160 pixels, yielding a 19.4 megapixel image processed through the RED Dragon image processor. Designed for demanding production environments, the EPIC records in REDCODE RAW alongside REDcolor, REDgamma, and HDRx color profiles, giving colorists significant latitude in post-production. The camera supports an extensive range of frame rates, from standard 23.976fps up to 300fps at 2K 2.4:1, 240fps at 2K, 200fps at 3K, and 150fps at 4K, making it a capable tool for high-speed cinematography.

Its ISO range runs from 250 to 2000. Storage is handled exclusively via RED MINI-MAG media. The body is constructed from aluminum alloy and weighs 5 lb, with dimensions of 146mm x 121mm x 129mm.

The PL mount makes it compatible with the cinema industry's standard lens ecosystem. A modular display system allows operators to attach RED Touch LCD screens in 5.0", 7.0", or 9.0" configurations, while the BOMB EVF provides an electronic viewfinder option in either LCOS or OLED variants. Audio connectivity includes a 3.5mm stereo microphone jack with XLR available via an A-Box adapter, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The camera has no built-in image stabilization and is manual focus only.
