To attach a PL mount lens:
Step 1. Open your camera's PL locking ring by rotating it counterclockwise until it stops.
Step 2.
Align one of the lens' four flange notches with the locating pin on the camera mount. Be
sure to align the lens for easy viewing of the lens marks.
Step 3. Tighten the PL locking ring by rotating it clockwise.
Step 4. To remove the lens, rotate the locking ring counterclockwise until it stops, then gently
remove the lens.
When no lens is attached to the camera, the glass filter covering the sensor is exposed to dust and
other debris so you'll want to keep the dust cap on whenever possible.

is to connect external power using the supplied 12V AC adapter.

To plug in external power:
Step 1. Connect the 12V AC adapter plug to your mains power socket.
Step 2. Connect the 12V AC adapter's 4 pin XLR connector to the 12-20V power connector on
the camera.
If you have both external and battery power connected, only external power will be used. If you
remove external power while a charged battery is connected, your camera will switch to battery
power without interruption.
You can use industry standard third party external batteries such as V-mount or gold mount batteries
with your URSA. Refer to the 'Mounting Batteries' section for more information about mounting the
different types of battery plates to support different batteries.
To turn your camera on:
Step 1. Press and release the 'power' button. On Blackmagic URSA the power button is located
on the DOP or camera assist and audio stations. On Blackmagic URSA Mini, the power
button is located on the control panel behind the fold out LCD. Simply open the LCD to
access the control panel.
Step 2. Press and hold the 'power' button to turn your camera off.
You are now ready to insert CFast 2.0 cards and start recording!
