WARNING: Lens mounts are NOT HOT SWAPPABLE, meaning you cannot install or remove a lens mount while
the camera is powered on. Before installing or removing the lens mount you MUST power off the camera. Failure
to do so may result in damage to the lens mount or DSMC that will not be covered under warranty.
WARNING: Any damage to your camera, lens mount, or other equipment caused by the incorrect removal or
installation of lens mounts is NOT covered under any RED warranty.
NOTE: DO NOT allow dirt or debris to enter the camera opening during the installation or removal of a lens
mount. Take great care not to drop any screws into the camera opening, as damage may occur to the OLPF.
NOTE: Always avoid physical contact with the MOTION MOUNT glass during installation or removal.
LENS MOUNT ALIGNMENT
When installing the MOTION MOUNT, ensure that the lens mount is properly aligned. The forward-facing con-
tact pins differ between the two (2) mounts. RED MOTION MOUNT Ti PL contacts pins are located on the top
of the mount, while RED MOTION MOUNT Ti Canon contact pins are located on the bottom of the mount.
