168 ALEXA SXT Studio
NOTICE
Perform regular dust checks on the outside of the ND filter slider, as dust might
collect on top of it. As the slider is very close to the sensor, dust or dirt collecting on
it might be visible as artifacts in images.
When performing a dust check, make sure the camera is switched off and
disconnected from any power source to prevent the mirror shutter from activation
during the cleaning process.
The ND filter can be activated in the EI screen by pushing the lower right screen
button.
Fig. 65: EI screen
If activated, the ASA rating in the HOME screen will have an ND index next to it.
NOTICE
The use of the internal ND filter has no influence on the EI rating of the camera.
When measuring exposure with a light meter, take into account the light loss of 4.3
stops generated by the ND filter.
17.3 Studio Camera Controls
A few additional controls are available on the ALEXA SXT Studio. These are used to
control the mirror shutter and the ND filter.
The HOME screen has icons for the active ND filter and the mirror shutter position and
state.
