C. Known Issues 

 Software 

Lenses 

ALURA 1.4x and 2.0x Extender are not recognized  

ALURA 1.4x and 2.0x Extender are not recognized by the camera and therefore the lens information shown in the 
menu, the SDI overlays and the WCU-4 show the information of the lens without considering the use of the extenders.  

Monitoring 

MVF-2 can show subtle flickering in upper part 

Sometimes a subtle flickering can be observed in the upper part of the image of the MVF-2 viewfinder (through the 
eyepiece, not the flip-out monitor). 

Brightness flicker when EVF Zoom is activated or EVF Surround view is off 

Brightness flicker in the upper part of the OLED display can be noticed. 

MVF-2 flip-out monitor shows vertical stripe 

Sometimes the MVF-2 flip-out monitor shows a vertical stripe on the left side of the image which is part of the image 
from the right. This can be fixed by unplugging and re-plugging the VF cable. 

No Surround View for 2.8K S35 4:3 

 2.8K 

Due to technical limitations, surround view for 2.8K S35 4:3 

 2.8K had to be deactivated in ALEXA Mini LF SUP 7.1. 

Magnification Limits 

Depending on the recording format, the MAGNIFICATION feature can sometimes reach maximum magnification 
before the top value of 200% is reached. In this case, higher value numbers will be shown in the menu, but actual 
image magnification will not increase further. 

Playback 

Small playback image 

When using MAGNIFICATION, the playback image may show less than monitored during recording and standby. 

Post 

No Mirror image function for MXF/Apple ProRes in DaVinci Resolve 

Th

e vertical “Mirror image” function does not work for MXF/Apple ProRes in DaVinci Resolve. However, it will work 

with ARRIRAW. 

Remote Control 

WiFi still on when camera is in host mode and WiFi is turned off 

When the camera is in WiFi host mode (MENU > System > Network/WiFi > WiFi Mode > Host), a client is connected 
and WiFi Power is turned off, WiFi Power stays on. 

Webremote reconnect takes long after switching WiFi power OFF and back ON. 

Sometimes the reconnect of the Webremote takes unexpectedly long after switching WiFi power OFF and back ON. 

Webremote function not working properly after SUP update 

After updating the camera, the web remote function may not work properly unless the browser cache of your web 
browser has been cleared. 

SmallHD Cine 7 partial functionality 

When remote controlling the camera with a SmallHD Cine 7, not all features will work as expected.  

When connecting to a WiFi network in client mode, you may have to enter the correct password twice.  

WiFi does not work as expected in WPA encrypted networks 

Only networks indicating WPA/WPA2 encryption will perform as expected. WPA only encrypted networks are not 
supported.
