							23Attaching a Lens
  Chapter 2   Installation and Preparations
2-4 Attaching a Lens
Attach an appropriate optional lens that conforms to the PL 
lens mount.
Always use a lens whose projection from the flange (A in 
the figure) is less than 30 mm. Use of any lens that 
protrudes more tha 30 mm will damage the internal filter. 
For information on handling lenses, refer to the lens’ 
operation manual.
1Rotate the lens fixing lever counterclockwise and 
remove the lens mount cap from the lens mount.
2Align the lens’ alignment pin with the notch in the 
upper part of the lens mount and insert the lens  into the 
mount.
3While supporting the lens, rotate the lens fixing lever 
clockwise to secure the lens.When using an ARRI LDS lens or a Cooke /i lens, align the 
contacts of the lens with a hot shoe of the camera.  The 
camera has two hot shoes that operate completely the 
same.
Selecting a lens file
With this camera, values, such as the compensation values, 
which are specific to the mounted lens can be registered in 
a lens file. You can perform necessary adjustments upon 
replacement of lenses by merely invoking the registered 
file.
Select the file using the subdisplay.
For lens file selection on the subdisplay, see “3-2-7 
Selection of a Lens File” (page 37). 
For details on the lens files, see “5-1 File Configuration” 
(page 99).
Adjusting the flange focal length
Adjustment of the flange focal length (distance between 
the lens mount attachment plane and the imaging plane) is 
necessary in the following situations:
 The first time a lens is attached
 When changing lenses
 If the focus is not sharp at both telephoto and wide angle 
when zooming
The flange focal length for this camera can be adjusted by 
rotating the adjustment screw on the front panel.

3-1 Selection of the Basic 
Operation Modes
3-1-1 Overview of the Basic 
Operation Modes
With this camera, Cine mode and Custom mode can be 
switched. Cine mode is designed for shooting the materials 
that will undergo post-production editing and that do not 
need on-set grading, as with shooting with a film camera. 
Custom mode is designed for shooting with all the setting 
items of the camera set as you wish.
The items that can be set and the selectable values on the 
menus and from the remote control unit are different in 
Cine mode and Custom mode.
Cine mode (default mode)
 The subdisplay and the USER menu are mainly used.
 The items related to image creation are fixed at the 
factory-set values, and menu displays are simplified.
 Only auto black balance (ABB) can be activated as auto 
setup.
The white balance level is fixed at the preset value 
(3200K), and auto white balance (AWB) and WHITE R/
G/B settings are not operative.
 On a remote control unit connected to the REMOTE 
connector of the camera, the values for the adjustment 
items whose settings fixed in Cine mode are not 
displayed. However, data for the ON/OFF setting items 
and selectable items are displayed although they are 
fixed in Cine mode.
 Reading/writing of files from/to a “Memory Stick” and 
data presetting are enabled only for the operator file that 
is included in the USER menu.
 Only retrieval by specifying a file number is allowed 
among the lens file operations.
 The reference file items are fixed to the default values set 
at the factory even if you have changed the values in 
Custom mode.
Custom mode
 This mode is designed for shooting with detailed settings 
on the menus or with operations from the remote control 
unit.
 The reference file, which stores the values to be used as 
reference for adjustments, and the scene files, which 
store the adjustment values specific to a particular scene, 
are available in this mode.
 User Gamma can be installed.
 Modification and storage of the lens files are possible.
The settings for the file items adjusted in Custom mode are 
maintained when the camera is switched back to Cine 
mode. However, the video adjustment values that are 
temporarily changed and not stored in any file will be 
cleared upon mode switching. 
For details on different items and values that can be set in 
each mode, see “4-3 Menu List” (page 68).
3-1-2 Switching of the Basic 
Operation Modes
At shipment, Cine mode is selected.
