Turning Camera Power On
The main power on/off switch for the ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 is located on the camera's right side. When a
battery is attached to the camera and the main power switch is turned on, you should see characters appear
on the LCD display on the camera's left 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.
The RUN indicator light will glow red while the camera is coming up to speed, and switch to green once the
set frame rate is reached. The RUN indicator light will steadily glow green when the camera is running
without any problems at the set frame rate. If the RUN indicator light glows red when the camera is in
Standby, the camera is not ready and pushing the RUN button will have no effect.
Inching
The ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 can be inched manually with the inching knob or electronically with the PHASE
button. The PHASE button, if pushed very briefly, will also rotate the mirror shutter 180°. This allows for a
fast gate check. To move the mirror shutter back in the viewing position, tap the PHASE button again briefly.
• To manually inch the camera, push on the inching knob and rotate it in the direction of the arrow (counter-
clockwise).
• To electronically inch the camera, press the PHASE button while the camera is in Standby.
