Lens port
The A-Minima camera can fits Arri PL and Nikon mounts. As the A-Minima is a Super 16
camera only, it is very easy to install and remove lens port (no optical axis adjustment).
Installing the lens (PL mount)
To install the lens on the camera body, turn outer locking ring counter-clockwise until it
reaches its stop. Align the four protuding flanges on the lens with the four corresponding
cutaways in the locking ring and insert the lens into the camera port so that its flanges
rest evenly against the lens seat. Tighten the locking ring by turning clockwise until the
lens is secured in place and the lock ring is firmly set.
Dioptric setting
The dioptric setting is adjusted by turning the diopter ring on the viewfinder. It is
recommended that, for easiest setting, this adjustment be performed with the port cover
off and no lens on the camera. Look through the viewfinder, rotate the diopter setting ring
until the edge of the cross-hair is at its sharpest point and retighten the knob.
