Getting Started
Attaching a Lens
Getting started with your Blackmagic Studio Camera or Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K is as
simple as attaching a lens and turning the camera on. To remove the protective dust cap from the
lens mount, hold down the locking button and rotate the cap counterclockwise until it is released.
We recommend you always turn off your Blackmagic camera prior to attaching or removing a lens.
To attach a lens:
1
Align the dot on your lens with the dot on the camera mount. Many lenses have either
a blue, red or white dot or some other indicator.
2
Twist the lens clockwise until it locks into place.
3
To remove the lens, hold down the locking button, rotate the lens counterclockwise
until its dot or indicator reaches the 12 o'clock position and gently remove.
When no lens is attached to the camera, the lens mount is exposed to dust and other debris
so you'll want to keep the dust cap on whenever possible.
