Mechanical Accessories
RAB-1 Clamp 2 may experience poor clamping performance
Some early RAB-1 Clamp 2 units (K2.0023406) ran into assembly issues leading to poor clamping performance or the
inability to release adequately. If a RAB-1 Clamp 2 is found to slip on the Rear Accessory Bracket RAB-1 (K2.0013937)
or not to release correctly, please contact ARRI Service to get the part repaired or exchanged.

Software
Image Processing
No Image Flip for MXF/Apple ProRes
The "Image Flip" function does not work for MXF/Apple ProRes. However, it will work with ARRIRAW.
Monitoring
Internal microphones are always audible on headphones
When the internal microphones are turned on, their sound is always audible on headphones that are connected to the
MVF-2 headphones connector and there is no possibility to turn them off.
Magnification is reset after Recording Resolution change
The Magnification setting is reset to 100% when changing Recording Resolution. So, it needs to be re-adjusted after
each Recording Resolution change.
MVF-2 eyepiece image flickering
The top lines of the image in the MVF-2 eyepiece flicker when switching magnification on or off.
Post
Apple ProRes Clips shot in LF Open Gate or LF 2.39:1 have black borders
Many postproduction applications including DaVinci Resolve will show black borders when playing back MXF/Apple
ProRes clips shot with the ALEXA Mini LF in LF Open Gate or LF 2.39:1 recording resolutions. This is a metadata issue.
The proper active image area for LF Open Gate is 4448 x 3096 and for LF 2.39:1 is 4448 x 1856.
Post: ARRIRAW frame grabs show black borders
ARRIRAW frame grabs in some recording resolutions can show black borders.
Remote Control
ARRI lens motor not recognized
When using an EF Lens without internal motors, it is possible, that the camera thinks there are internal lens motors
and will therefore not recognize external ARRI lens control motors. Workaround: disable the lens mount in MENU >
SYSTEM > LENS MOUNT SETTINGS.
LPL lens mount disabled
When transferring an LDA lens file from the WCU-4 to the camera, LDS will get disabled and it is not possible to enable
again, until a factory reset is performed. This does not affect the functionality of the LBUS connector on the lens
mount.
Sync
SDI out of sync
If two cameras are being synchronized by syncing one of them to timecode, the recorded images will be in sync, but
the SDI outputs will be slightly out of sync.
Slave shows error #88
When the master camera enters playback mode, the slave cameras display active alert #88 (Camera synchronization is
still pending). The alert disappears after a few seconds when the master camera has exited playback mode.
Updating
MVF-2 flip-out display turns black during camera update
Sometimes, when updating the camera SUP, the flip-out display of the attached MVF-2 turns black and stays black
until the camera is rebooted at the end of the update.
