Only the SHM-3 416 Shoulder Magazine 120/400 can be used with the ARRIFLEX 416. Magazines from the 16 SR 1, 2 & 3 cameras are not compatible.

6.1 Loading the 416 Magazine

Loading the magazine should be practised in daylight with a piece of waste film until the procedure can be carried out confidently in a darkroom or film changing tent.

Cutting the film through the middle of the perforation holes simplifies the loading process considerably. The film head of a fresh roll of film is normally cut in this way.

Step 1: The Feed Side

Load the film into the feed side in absolute darkness (darkroom or film changing tent).

•Remove the loop protector and lay the magazine on a flat surface with its feed side door facing upwards.

•To open the door, flip up the locking grip, depress the safety catch and turn it counter-clockwise Aphoto.

•Lift up the magazine cover and remove it by pulling the cover to the right.
