4. If removing the DSMC Mg PL Mount 2.0, turn the locking ring slightly counter-clockwise so that you can access the lens mount screws.

   NOTE: When the MOTION MOUNT is not in use the rear glass is blue. During operation the rear glass turns yellow. If you remove the MOTION MOUNT shortly after operation, the glass turns yellow and develops blue spots. As the glass cools, it returns to its original blue color. This color transition is typical behavior.
