Turning Camera Power On
The main power switch for the ARRIFLEX 435 is located on the back of the camera, underneath the
magazine mounting port. 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 left side. The two accessory
overload lights will also illuminate briefly to show that they are operational.
Camera RUN
The RUN button is located on the left side of the camera. To run the camera, depress the RUN button briefly.
To stop the camera depress the RUN button again 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 at the
set frame rate. When the RUN button is pushed again to stop camera run, the light will briefly glow red,
then green, and then turn off.
Note: If the RUN indicator light glows red while the camera is in Standby, the camera is not ready and
pushing the RUN button will have no effect.
Inching
The ARRIFLEX 435 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 into the viewing position, push the PHASE button again briefly.
• To manually inch the camera, open the camera door and turn the inching knob clockwise.
Note: Any film in the movement area will be exposed to light when inching manually!
Note: Don’t inch the camera to expose images, as correct exposure cannot be guaranteed during inching!
Note: The movement and the mirror shutter of the 435 are linked electronically, and will only move
together when the camera is running or when it is inched with the PHASE button. When the camera
is manually inched, the mirror shutter will not rotate.
• To electronically inch the camera, press the PHASE button while the camera is in Standby.
