When moving the camera from a cool to a warm location or when the
camera is used in a damp environment, condensation may form inside
the lens port, on the sensor cover glass, between the sensor and the
sensor cover glass, and on internal or external electrical connections.
Operating the camera while condensation is present may result
in personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Condensation on the optical components may have a visible effect on
the output images. To reduce the risk of condensation:
Find a warmer storage location.
Attach the ARRI air-drying cartridge (silica bottle) to the PL-
Mount of the camera during storage
Note: Do NOT leave the air-drying cartridge attached to the PL-
Mount during transportation of the camera!
If camera needs to be stored in a place that is considerably
cooler than the location where it will be used, consider keeping
the camera powered from a mains unit in addition to using the
air-drying cartridge.
In ambient temperatures above 30°C/86°F and/or humidity above
60%, always attach the air-drying cartridge to the PL-Mount of
the camera when not in use. This not only applies to storage, but
also to shooting breaks and situations when the camera remains
without an attached lens for an extended time.
MAKE SURE THE SILICA BOTTLE IS SECURELY FASTENED.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SPILL SILICA INTO THE LENS
PORT!
