Lenses - RED EPIC-M DRAGON (Carbon Fiber) Operation Motion

EPIC/SCARLET OPERATION GUIDE

LENSES

This section describes lenses and lens operations for the camera system.
WARNING: All lenses are hot swappable.
All lenses are hot swappable. However, lens mounts are NOT HOT SWAPPABLE, meaning you cannot remove or
install lens mounts while the camera is turned on. Before installing or removing lens mounts, you MUST turn off the
camera. Failure to do so may result in damage to the lens mounts or camera that is not covered under warranty.
LENS WEIGHT AND LENS SUPPORT
Use a lens support system when mounting heavy or long lenses to your camera.
When mounting a heavy or long lens, ensure that the full weight of the lens is never directly on the camera or lens
mount. Mount the lens to the support system first, and then carefully mount the lens to the camera.
Due to the lightweight construction of the carbon fiber BRAIN and magnesium mounts, most setups with the carbon
fiber BRAIN require a lens support system for all but the lightest lenses.
WARNING: Failure to use lens supports appropriate for the lens and camera setup may lead to damage of the camera
and lens mount. Any damage caused by not using a lens support system will not be covered under warranty.
POSITIVE LOCK (PL) LENSES
This section describes the appropriate method for attaching and detaching PL lenses. For more information, refer to
the original manufacturer's instructions. This section also lists lenses supported by the camera PL mounts.
WARNING: ALWAYS protect your equipment, when it is not in use, by replacing lens caps and mount caps.

DETACH PL LENSES
1. Rotate the locking ring counter-clockwise to release the PL lens.
