ALEXA Mini LF SUP 6.0.22 Release Notes  

 

Page 8 of 9 

All data subject to change without further notice. 

Updating fails when LBUS devices are connected 

When updating from any earlier Mini LF SUP to Mini LF SUP 6.0.22, make sure to NOT have any LBUS devices 
connected to the camera, as that would cause the update to fail. This is caused by an unfortunate bug in Mini LF SUPs 

≤ 6.0.21. 

However, as there is no updated software for any LBUS devices included in Mini LF SUP 6.0.22, there is also 

no need to attach LBUS devices. This bug is fixed in Mini LF SUP 6.0.22, so, when updating from Mini LF SUP 6.0.22 to 
any future version, you can (and should) connect LBUS devices to make sure they are running the latest software.  

Please note that on rare occasions updates can fail even if no LBUS accessories are attached. If that is the case, simply 
remove all accessories and lenses and try updating the camera again.  

Usability 

MONITOR status defaults to "lens" page 

The status bar of the flip-out MONITOR defaults to the "lens data" page after a reboot or an update. 

Switching from ARRIRAW to Apple ProRes or changing Recording Resolution may take longer than expected 

Switching from ARRIRAW to Apple ProRes or changing the recording resolution in Apple ProRes may take longer than 
expected. 

Function (FN-1) settings do not work 

The ability to edit camera settings in the overlay menu using the Function (FN) buttons will not work if the viewfinder 
is connected and the flip-out monitor is closed or if the viewfinder was connected and the flip-out monitor was closed 
when the viewfinder was disconnected. It will work, however, if the viewfinder was not connected when powering up 
the camera. 

Adding White Balance with wheel increments in 46 Kelvin steps 

When adding a white balance value to the list by incrementing the number directly with the click-wheel of the MVF-2, 
values will increment in 46 Kelvin steps. Use the keyboard-like entry instead to enter the desired value.
