NOTE
It is standard practice to plug in your XLR cable before switching
phantom power on. It is also important to switch phantom power to 'off' when
you no longer have a phantom powered microphone connected. Connecting
devices that don't have phantom power protection built into their AES XLR
outputs whilst still sending phantom power from the camera's XLR audio
inputs may damage your equipment. Always ensure that the 48V switch is
turned 'off' when you disconnect your microphone.

Control and Playback Buttons
Focus
When using an EF mount with an EF lens that supports electronic focus adjustments,
press the 'focus' button to activate auto focus. A white focus square will appear on the
fold out monitor. Anything within the square will be correctly focused. When the lens is
focused, the square will disappear.
NOTE
Some lenses have both manual and auto focus modes. In order for
URSA Mini to be able to auto focus with your lens, you need to ensure that
your lens is set to auto focus mode.
Peak
Press the 'Peak' button to activate focus peaking. Your camera has two focus peaking
modes, traditional focus peaking, which artificially sharpens areas of the image that are
in focus, and 'colored lines' with overlays the sharp areas of your image with black,
white, red, green or blue colored lines. See the 'monitor settings' section of this manual
for more information. Focus peaking is not recorded to storage media, but can be
displayed via the HD monitoring output and on the fold out monitor by activating
overlays using the touchscreen menu.
TIP
If you are recording your video output to a Blackmagic Video Assist or
HyperDeck Studio Mini, you may want to ensure that you don't have peaking
switched on for that output. This can be done by using our 'clean feed' feature
on your front SDI or main SDI.
For more information on outputting a 'clean feed' see the 'monitor settings'
section in this manual.
Program
The program button is marked PGM and lets you switch the LCD between the camera
view and any signal plugged into the camera's 12G-SDI input. This means if you're using
URSA Mini Pro in a live broadcast, you can plug in the switcher's program output and
monitor it during the shoot. Press and hold the program button to see your program
feed. Double press the button to lock the program feed on. Press again to turn the
program feed off.
To display a switcher's program output, your camera and switcher must be set to the
same resolution and frame rate.
Menu
Press the 'menu' button to open the dashboard. Refer to the 'settings' section for more
information about the dashboard feature and how to adjust settings.
