Which David Fincher film was the first to be shot entirely with the Red One digital camera?

The Social Network was the first David Fincher film to be shot entirely with the Red One digital camera. Fincher and cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth used the camera to capture the story of Facebook’s founding with a crisp, controlled digital image that suited the film’s modern subject and rapid shifts between competing accounts.

Principal photography began in October 2009 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and continued at locations in California and Baltimore. Johns Hopkins University doubled for Harvard in several scenes because Harvard generally restricts film productions on its campus. The Red One workflow also supported the film’s precise visual style, including its low-light interiors and distinctive color treatment.

The wording can cause a broader film-history mix-up: Steven Soderbergh’s Che was the first feature-length film shot with Red One cameras, while The Social Network is associated with the Red One MX and early 4K theatrical presentation. Within Fincher’s filmography, however, The Social Network is the canonical answer.
