2. Loading Magazines The film must be loaded with the emulsion side inwards. With single perforated film, use B winding. Always make sure that a loop protector is on the magazine when it is not on the camera. Always make sure that the aperture cover plate is on the camera when no magazine is attached to the camera. Step 1: The Feed Side Load unexposed film only in absolute dark - such as in a dark room or a changing bag.
Step 2: The Take-up Side Step 2 can be performed in daylight. • Pull some film out of the magazine throat and place it along the under side of the magazine, until the first perforation hole reaches the white index line. • Hold the drive gear to keep the loop length stable. Push the film head gently into the take-up channel until it engages with the take-up sprocket.
3. Mounting the Magazine onto the Camera Mounting the Magazine Note: You can use SR 1 and 2 magazines on the 16SR 3, and SR 3 magazines on the 16SR 1 and 2, but: - Don't use high speed magazines on standard cameras or standard magazines on HS cameras. - 16SR 1 and 2 magazines as they come from the factory cannot be used for Super 16 or Timecode. • If appropriate, press the black button on the video carrying handle and swing it to the left side. • If appropriate, swing back the on-board battery.
4. Power On, Camera RUN, Inching Turning Camera Power On The main power on/off switch for the ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 is located on the camera's right side.

Camera RUN/STOP The RUN button is located on the left side of the camera. To run the camera, depress the RUN button briefly.
5. Changing Fps When the NORM - PS/CCU switch is in the NORM position, the camera can run at the standard speeds of 24, 25, 29.97 and 30 fps. In the PS/CCU position, any speed from 5.000 to 75.000 fps can be achieved on the 16SR 3 (5.000 to 150.00 fps on the 16SR 3 HS). All speeds set on the camera are crystal speeds. Setting a Standard Speed (NORM) • Set the NORM - PS/CCU switch to NORM. Ensure that the locking slider is in the unlocked (left) position. • Make sure the LCD display is in mode 1.
