Attaching and removing a lens on Studio Camera.
Use the supplied power adapter to charge the internal battery
and power the camera.
Attaching a Lens
Getting started with your Blackmagic Studio Camera 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:
Step 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.
Step 2. Twist the lens clockwise until it locks into place.
Step 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.
Turning Your Camera On
The Studio Camera has an internal battery that can be charged using the supplied power adapter.
The camera can be charged and operated while connected via external power and will switch between
power sources without any interruption.
Step 1. Press the power button below the LCD. The live camera image will appear on the LCD.
Step 2. Press and hold the power button to switch off the camera.
