Amazing 400fps Slow motion

Shoot up to 120fps in 5K or up to 400fps in 1K – note that by shooting in 1K mode, you will have a crop factor of around 50%, so a 24mm lens will act like a 50mm lens for example. The example below shows a 300fps 2K shot of a hotshoe mount being dropped into a glass of water. If you are careful, you can see a perfect still of the hotshoe mount.

Up to 18 stops of Latitude with HDRx

The original EPIC was called EPIC-M, as it used the Mysterium Sensor shared with the RED MX and now upgraded to the Mysterium X sensor. This is a 14 Megapixel chip (5120×2700 pixels) with 13.5 stops of latitude and up to 18stops with the HDRx mode whereby the camera effectively takes a dual exposure and you have the ability to decide how best to take the best information from the fast and the slow exposure at either end of the latitude spectrum.
