Arriﬂex 435 Quick Guide, 4/99, Page 13

Checking the Mirror Shutter Angle (435 & 435ES)

• Push the PHASE button for about 5 seconds while the camera

is in standby.

• The top line of the LCD display will show the open angle of the

mirror shutter. The bottom line will show the battery voltage.

Note: The 435ES shutter angle is also visible in mode 7.

Note: To always view the 435ES shutter angle in mode 1:

- Make sure the display is in mode 1 (black bar visible).

- Push the SEL button until the upper line ﬂashes.

- Push the SET button to switch the upper line between

the footage counter and the shutter angle.

Electronically Changing the Mirror Shutter Angle (435ES)

The open mirror shutter angle of the 435ES can be set in 0.1° increments by the LCC, RCU or CCU.

The following shutter angles can be set directly on the camera: 11.2°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 105°,

120°, 135°, 144°, 172.8° and 180°.

Note: Before electronically adjusting the shutter, make sure that the shutter is unlocked. Check with a 2 mm

hex driver that the shutter lock (labeled CATCH) is in the LOOSE position (all the way counter-clock

wise). The locking tab should not be visible (see graphic). Attempting to electronically adjust the

shutter while it is locked can damage the camera!

• Change the LCD display to mode 7 by pushing the MODE button six times. The display should show the

shutter symbol and the current shutter angle in the top line, and the fps rate in the bottom line.

If the display shows ”OFF”, the electronic adjustment of the shutter is deactivated.

• Press the SEL button repeatedly until the desired shutter angle ﬂashes in the display.

• Press the SET button to conﬁrm the ﬂashing shutter angle.

Note: If a ﬂashing shutter angle is not conﬁrmed within 3 seconds, the shutter angle will revert to the

previously set value.
