4 Lens Mount
Your Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K features an active lens mount for L-mount lenses. This
means you can use lenses with built-in stabilization, as well as use auto focus and auto
exposure with compatible lenses. To use the image stabilizer or ‘IS’ feature found in many
active lenses, set the stabilizer switch to‘on’ to enable image stabilization on your camera.
If your lens also features a stabilizer mode switch, set it to the appropriate mode for still
shots or for movement. If your lens does not have a physical stabilizer switch, you can turn
‘image stabilization’ on or off in your camera’s setup menu.
5 Tally / Record Indicator
The small LED on the front of your camera indicates the recording status. You can enable
or disable the tally light indicator and adjust its brightness in the setup menu. Refer to the
