Inching
Inching can be started by depressing the “PHASE”-button
while the camera is in standby. If the “PHASE”-button is
only briefly depressed, the mirror shutter rotates half a
revolution to enable an unrestricted view of the film gate
(e.g. for checking the gate). If the “PHASE”-button is held
depressed longer, the camera will inch forward at
approx. 1 fps. The upper line of the display indicates the
measured shutter angle, the lower line the measured
voltage of the power supply.
While inching, the camera speed is not exactly
controlled. As this can cause faulty exposures,
do not film while inching.
9.3 Displaying and Setting
Operational Parameters
The currently set operational parameters on the ARRIFLEX
235 are displayed on the camera display ➪
photo in
various modes. The desired mode is selected via the
“MODE”-button. In each mode the corresponding
operational parameters can be set using the “SEL”- and
“SET”-buttons ➪
photo .
Note: The Mode numbers are shown in the display
between the upper and the lower line. Mode 1
is also indicated ➪
photo in the display by a
black horizontal bar.
To prevent an unintentional alteration of the operational
parameters the buttons “SEL”, “SET”, and “PHASE” can
by locked using the button “LOCK”. If a button is
depressed when the display is locked, the display will
show the “OFF” sign. If the display is locked, this is
indicated by the “LOCK” symbol in the display.
Note: Locking the “PHASE”-button has no influence
on the inching function.
Locking the “SEL”- and “SET”-buttons has no
influence on accessories such as the RCU-1.
