6. Changing Fps
Arriflex 435 Quick Guide, 4/99, Page 12
With the NORM - PS/CCU switch on the camera's left side in the NORM position, the standard speeds of
23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 and 30 fps, forward or reverse, can be run. In the PS/CCU position, any speed
from 1.000 to 150.00 fps, forward or reverse, can be run. All speeds set on the camera are crystal speeds.
The ARRIMAGs run up to 150 fps, the 35-3/2C magazines run up to 130 fps. The ”fps” symbol will flash if
a magazine is attached that cannot be used for the set fps rate or camera running direction.
Note:
The NORM - PS/CCU switch only affects the fps setting, not the mirror shutter setting.
Setting a Standard Speed
• Ensure that the locking slider is in the unlocked (right) position.
• Make sure the LCD display is in mode 1 (black bar is visible).
• Push the SEL button to cycle through the available standard
speeds (23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 and 30 fps). Each speed will
flash for approximately 3 seconds.
• While a speed is flashing, push the SET button to set it.
Note:
Set the NORM - PS/CCU switch to NORM to run the
camera at the set standard speed.
Setting a Programmable Speed
• Ensure that the locking slider is in the unlocked (right) position.
• Push the MODE button once to change from mode 1 to
mode 2 ("PS" - programmable speed).
• Press the SEL button to select one digit after the other. A
selected digit will blink. Press the SET button to increment the
value of a flashing digit by one. Repeat this procedure for all
digits that need to be changed. A final confirmation of the set
speed is not necessary.
Speeds below 100 fps are shown in the display with three
digits past the decimal point. Speeds of 100 fps and above
are shown with two digits past the decimal point.
Note:
Set the NORM - PS/CCU switch to PS/CCU to run the
camera at the set programmable speed.
Setting the Camera to run in Reverse
• Ensure that the locking slider is in the unlocked (right) position.
• Push the MODE button once to change from mode 1 to
mode 2.
• Press the SEL button once. "cd" (camera direction) will blink.
• Push the SET button for three seconds. When the camera is set
to run in reverse, the letter ”R” appears in the display.
Note:
The ”R” symbol is the only indication that the camera
will run in reverse. Pay close attention!
Note:
Camera direction will be set to reverse for the standard
speeds (NORM) and for the programmable speeds (PS).
