Frequently Asked Questions - Amira ARRI
How do I update the firmware on my ARRI Amira?
Download the latest firmware from the ARRI website, copy it to a CFast or SD card, insert the card into the camera, and follow the on-screen instructions in the System Menu > Firmware Update.
What is the correct way to clean the sensor?
Use a sensor cleaning kit with a blower and swabs specifically designed for CMOS sensors. Avoid touching the sensor with bare hands. For stubborn dust, seek professional cleaning.
Can I use third-party lenses with the Amira?
Yes, as long as the lens has a PL mount. Adapters are available for other mounts like EF or F, but some electronic communication may be limited.
How do I set the correct white balance?
Set white balance by pressing the WB button on the side grip, then using the touchscreen to choose a preset or manually set Kelvin temperature. For accuracy, use a white card and press the Auto WB button.
What storage media does the Amira support?
The Amira supports CFast 2.0 cards for high-bitrate recording and SD cards for lower bitrates or firmware updates. It is recommended to use ARRI-approved media for reliability.
How do I adjust the built-in ND filters?
Use the ND dial on the camera body or the touchscreen menu. The motorized ND filter wheel provides stops of 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, and 2.4. Rotate the dial to engage or disengage the filters.
What is the maximum recording time in 4K?
The Amira records up to 4K UHD in ProRes 4444. Maximum recording time depends on card size; with a 512 GB CFast card, you can record approximately 60 minutes at highest quality.
Can I use the camera while charging the battery?
Yes, you can operate the Amira while a V-Mount battery is attached and connected to a charger via the DC input. Ensure the charger provides stable 24V power.
How do I connect external monitors?
Use the SDI output (BNC) or HDMI output on the side of the camera. Navigate to Output Setup in the menu to select resolution, framerate, and overlays.
What maintenance is required after heavy use?
After heavy use, clean the exterior with a dry cloth, check lens mount for debris, and format media. For internal cleaning, schedule a professional service every 12 months or 2000 hours of operation.
