To attach a PL mount lens:
Step 1. Open Blackmagic URSA'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.

URSA is to connect external power using the supplied 12 V AC adapter.
To plug in External Power:
Step 1. Connect the 12 V AC adapter plug to your mains power socket.
Step 2. Connect the 12 V AC adapter's 4 pin XLR connector to the 12-20 V 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, Blackmagic URSA will switch to battery power
without interruption.
To turn your camera on:
Step 1. Press the Power button on Blackmagic URSA's DOP or Camera Assist and Audio Stations.
