FPS (Sensor Frame Rate)
The FPS label shows the current sensor frame rate in frames per second. Press the FPS screen button
to adjust the sensor frame rate. The FPS label turns orange if the sensor fps does not match the project
fps rate.
Note: The maximum frame rate that can be set is dependent on the recording resolution and the codec.
TC (Timecode)
The TC label shows the current timecode value and project rate. Press the TC screen button to access
the timecode settings. The TC label turns orange if a timecode misconfiguration persists, press the TC
screen button for more information.
SHUTTER
The SHUTTER label shows the current shutter angle or exposure time. Press the screen button to
set the shutter of the sensor. Shutter angle and sensor FPS determine exposure time of the sensor in
seconds by the following equation: angle / (360° * FPS). The shutter unit can be set to display either
shutter angle (5.0° to 356.0°) or exposure time (1 s to 1/8000 s). The maximum shutter angle is limited
by the resulting exposure time (1 s max.).
EI (Exposure Index)
Shows the current exposure index. Base sensitivity for the ALEXA Mini LF is 800 ASA. Press the
screen button to adjust the exposure index in a range from 160 to 3200 ASA.
ND Filter
The ND label shows the current ND filter value of the in-camera FSND (Full Spectrum Neutral Density)
filter stage. Press the screen button to change the ND filter.
WB (White Balance)
The WB label shows the current white balance and tint. Press the screen button to set the camera’s
white balance. This is the color temperature of the light source that the camera is currently adjusted for.
In addition to the red/blue correction of the white balance, the ALEXA Mini LF can also compensate for
a green/magenta tint. This value, called CC (color compensation), is shown as an exponent of the WB
value. Positive values are marked with a "+" and negative values with a "-".
