If it is for depth of field isn't sending less light to the sensor going to increase noise just like using the gain switch on a video camera? This is a standup comic on a fully lit stage moving around some. Is that really hard to keep in focus on a Red Epic? I'm not trying to be critical of production I want to better understand the shoot constraints of the Red Epic.
