8.2 Viewfinder System

The viewfinder system on the ARRIFLEX 235 can be swivelled in two axes. The viewfinder image is always upright and correct left-to-right when the viewfinder is swivelled within the main axes photo.

An 80/20 beamsplitter for the video assist is integrated into the camera body. The viewfinder and the video assist can be used independently from each other.
