Optics

Lens Mount: Active EF mount.

MFT Upgradable: Upgradable to AutoLock Active Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount, which allows instant adaption to Arri PL, Canon FD, Nikon F, Pentax K, Leica, R, C-Mount, B4, and more.

FullFrame EF Adapter: The optional full-frame EF adapter installs in place of the standard EF mount or attaches to the AutoLock MFT mount. It provides a FullFrame effective field of view, increases light transmission by ∼1 stop, delivers shallower depth of field, and maintains full electronic control of EF lenses.

OLPF Antialiasing filter: The built in OLPF filter balances resolution and realism, subtly diffusing sub-pixel interference patterns to eliminate moiré while retaining natural sharpness.

Electronic ND

User installable module: The internal E-ND upgrade module is user installable with a single screw.

Instant, Cinema-Grade Exposure Control: The E-ND system delivers seamless, real-time exposure adjustment with the precision of fixed glass NDs and the flexibility of variable filters, without the bulk, color shift, or polarization artifacts.

Stop Range: 2–7 stops; auto-switches to clear below ND 2.

Color Accuracy: The E-ND utilizes LCD-based technology to deliver accurate color reproduction, with zero polarization effects, and is 100% X-pattern free.

Automatic Exposure: Set the E-ND to automatic mode in NexusOS, and it continuously adjusts ND density in real time based on lighting conditions to maintain consistent exposure.

Manual Exposure: The E-ND can be set to manual mode in NexusOS, enabling either stepped ND adjustment in standard stop increments or smooth, continuous control. ND levels can be adjusted directly via the control panel touchscreen, physical buttons, or the Nexus side grip — putting precise, responsive exposure control at your fingertips.
