A lens port
[4]
type ARRI PL is built into the camera front.
Depending on the mounting of the port, shooting either
STANDARD 35 or SUPER 35 format is possible.
To remove the port cap or the lens itself, turn the two
bayonet levers
[5]
counter-clockwise.
To mount a lens, turn the levers gently clockwise until the
lens is seated properly. Do not use force!
To the left of the lens port there are two connectors
[1]
and
[2]
. The 3-pins Fischer connectors have a 24 V out-
let protected by an on-chip circuitry rated at max. 4 A
and they may be used for any remote-controlled device,
e.g. zoom or focus drive.
Both connectors may also be used for the remote control
of the RUN/STOP (RS) button (e.g. handgrip button).

Remark
Based on the wish by some rental houses, a number
of cameras have a 2-pin connector instead of 3-pin
next the lens port
[2]
– then the RUN/STOP function
is not supported there.
