by pressing the MODE button once.
Press the SEL button repeatedly until
•
the digit to be set blinks.
Press the SET button repeatedly until
•
the desired value is reached.
Repeat this procedure until all digits are set
•
to the desired values. A final confirmation
of the set frame rate is not necessary.
Note: An internal buffer battery ensures that the
programmed frame rate is stored even if the
camera is not switched on at the main switch.
This battery has a lifetime of approx. 10 years.
If the programmed frame rate is not
available when the camera is switched
on again, the buffer battery has to be
replaced by an ARRI service center.
Shifting Phase
To capture quartz-synchronized monitors, hold
the PHASE button pressed after the camera has
run up until the horizontal bar is no longer visible
in the viewfinder. The frame rate will increase by
0.2 fps for the duration PHASE is pressed.
Note: Shifting phase causes unsynchronized operation
of mirror shutter and HD output. Shifting
phase during recording may cause drop
frames. As shifting phase should be required
only once, it is recommended to first adjust
the phase and then start the recording.
