Attaching a Lens
The first step to getting started is to remove the protective dust cap and attach a lens. To
remove the dust cap from the lens mount, hold down the lens release button and rotate the cap
counterclockwise until released. We recommend always turning off your Blackmagic camera
prior to attaching or removing a lens.
Press the lens release button and rotate the dust cap counterclockwise until it is released from the mount
Blackmagic Studio Camera's have MFT lens mounts for attaching Micro Four Thirds lenses.
To attach a lens:
1
Align the dot on your lens with the dot on the camera mount. Many lenses have
a corresponding indicator which may be a coloured dot or similar marker.
2
Gently push the lens's mount flat against the camera's lens mount and rotate the lens
clockwise until it locks into place.
Place the rear of the lens against the mount and rotate clockwise until it locks into place
To remove the lens, hold down the lens release button and rotate the lens counterclockwise
until its indicator reaches the 12 o'clock position. The lens will now be released and you can
gently remove it from the mount.
NOTE
It's important to mention that when no lens is attached to the camera, the
lens mount is exposed to dust and other debris so you should keep the dust cap on
whenever possible.
