13.5 User Storage Handling
The ALEXA Mini LF saves data such as user setups, frame grabs and system logs to a USB memory
stick. Firmware, additional frame lines and ARRI Look File 2 files can be loaded onto the camera using
the USB memory stick.
The camera only supports FAT formatted USB memory sticks with MBR partition table and with a
maximum capacity of 16GB. A special folder structure is used in order to work with the camera. This
folder structure can be prepared in camera and the folder preparation will not alter existing folders and
files on the USB medium.
The USB slot is located at the back of the camera below the recording media slot. To access the USB
slot, open the media door.
