5. ARRIFLEX 435 in Normal Operation
The camera, once modified for singleframe operation, can
be used normally with some restrictions.
The following points should be taken into consideration:
The camera may be operated at max. 120 fps
with the special singleframe film recognition
module, as at higher speeds the camera is in
danger of switching off while running or may
damage the film.
Before starting the camera run, check if the
Integrated Capping Shutter is completely opened.
Due to the light-tight cover for the pull-down
claw slits and the register-pin holes in the film
gate, dirt or film snippets may collect in the film
gate. It must therefore be checked and cleaned
far more often than in normal operation.
Note: If the camera is running in normal mode and the
Capping Shutter is not completely open, the entire
camera display or the RCU-display and the ASY
symbol in the viewfinder blink.
Switching on Normal Operation
• Turn the SF ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
The camera can be used normally.
