Confirm and calibrate your FDC Multi and FDC Light calibration tool and know your calibration is accurate with the FDC Master Calibration Tool Mark II. A necessary tool for maintaining the accuracy of your gear, the FDC Master provides you with peace of mind using a standard with micron accuracy. This version has an ARRI LPL mount and is suitable for checking the accuracy of your LPL-mounted FDC calibration tool.

Insert your FDC Multi or FDC Light into the FDC Master as you would into your camera, and the FDC Master outputs its test pattern via SDI or CVBS for viewing on a monitor and making adjustments. Line up the image, and confirm your FDC tool is calibrated; if not, use an optional Allen Key on the three adjustment screws to reset your FDC Multi or Light.

• Optical calibration tools for sensors have replaced the mechanical depth gauges that traditionally were used for measuring the flange depth in film cameras, as touching the sensor of a digital camera can damage it
• Optical calibration tools can be used with both single-sensor and film cameras, as they do not use a mechanical gauge and thus do not physically touch your sensor

• Evaluate the high-resolution black-and-white image on an SDI monitor
• If your FDC Multi or FDC Light is not set to 0 when the image is aligned, loosen the three Allen set screws, realign the scale ring, and tighten the set screws
• The FDC Master has a CVBS output for when a monitor that supports SDI is not available

Q: 7. Is there a delay between pressing the shutter release and exposure?

A: There's a millisecond between the time you press the shutter release until the image shows. Maybe slightly longer at higher resolutions Compared to other cameras I've had it's almost unnoticeable. However, if you press the shutter release too soon (double click soon) you won't get that second image. I also think this is a great little camera. I love it.
