Special Notice
To allow that Compact Drives are used with ALEXA Mini LF and ALEXA 35 cameras, the cameras and drives need to run on a certain minimum SUP/firmware version. In some cases, an update will be required before using a Compact Drive.
On an ALEXA 35, users may encounter a “Firmware version of recording media is outdated” message, which means that the inserted drive needs to be updated before it can be used in the camera.
On an ALEXA Mini LF, users may encounter an “INVAL” message, which means that the camera needs to be updated to ALEXA Mini LF SUP 7.1.1 or later. This update makes no change to the camera or its images, other than allowing it to use new and updated drives.
More details about the specific drives affected can be found in our FAQ section below.
