ARRI ALEXA 35 Body & PL Mount Set (LBUS) - Manual (Page 23)

Menu Operation 23
TC (Timecode)
The TC label shows the current timecode value and project rate. Press the TC screen button to access
the timecode settings. The TC label turns orange if a timecode misconfiguration exists. Press the TC
screen button for more information.
SHUTTER
The SHUTTER label shows the current shutter angle or exposure time. Press the screen button to set
the shutter of the sensor. The shutter unit can be set to display either shutter angle (5.0° to 356.0°) or
exposure time (1 second to 1/8000 seconds). The maximum shutter angle is limited by the resulting
exposure time (1 second max.). Shutter angle and sensor frame rate determine exposure time of the
sensor in seconds by the following equation: exposure time = shutter angle / (360 x FPS).
EI (Exposure Index)
Shows the current exposure index. Press the screen button to adjust the exposure index in a range
from 160 to 6400 ASA without Enhanced Sensitivity Mode or 2560 to 6400 ASA with Enhanced
Sensitivity Mode.
ND Filter
The ND label shows the current ND filter value of the built in FSND (Full Spectrum Neutral Density)
filter stage. Press the screen button to change the ND filter.
WB (White Balance)
The WB label shows the current white balance and tint. Press the screen button to set the white
balance. This is the color temperature of the light source that the camera is currently adjusted for. In
addition to the red/blue correction of the white balance, the camera can also compensate for a green/
magenta tint. This value, called CC (color compensation), is shown as an exponent of the WB value.
Positive values are marked with a “+” and negative values with a “-”.
White balance can be adjusted from 2000 to 11000 Kelvin (here: 5600) in steps of 10 K for red/blue
correction. Color compensation for green/magenta tints can be adjusted in a range from -16.0 to +16.0.
Positive or negative CC color compensation values then appear as an exponent of the WB value (here:
+0.0).

Audio Meters
The audio meters are only displayed when audio recording is enabled. When audio recording is dis-
abled, a crossed out speaker icon is displayed. Black markers are shown at signal levels -20, -18, -9
dBFS. The yellow marker at -5 dBFS and the red marker at -2 dBFS indicate a signal close to clipping.
