Q & A
We’ve recently had a few reports of camera errors occurring as a result of pulling a drive from the Mini LF soon after ending a recording session. ARRI recommends waiting at least ten seconds after ending a recording session before removing a compact drive from the camera.
In the event you pull a drive too soon after a recording session and the camera freezes or displays an error message, ARRI recommends remounting the drive and power cycling the camera with the drive inside.
While we don’t expect this issue to impact most users, we will continue to monitor the situation in hopes that ARRI will come to a long term solution in the near future. If you have any questions regarding the ARRI Alexa Mini LF or Codex Compact Drive system, please contact us and a tech will be happy to discuss these errors in greater detail.
