Inching

Inching can be started by depressing the “PHASE”-button while the camera is in standby. If the “PHASE”-button is only briefly depressed, the mirror shutter rotates half a revolution to enable an unrestricted view of the film gate (e.g. for checking the gate). If the “PHASE”-button is held depressed longer, the camera will inch forward at approx. 1 fps. The upper line of the display indicates the measured shutter angle, the lower line the measured voltage of the power supply.

While inching, the camera speed is not exactly controlled. As this can cause faulty exposures, do not film while inching.

9.3Displaying and Setting Operational Parameters

The currently set operational parameters on the ARRIFLEX 235 are displayed on the camera display ➪ photo in various modes. The desired mode is selected via the “MODE”-button. In each mode the corresponding operational parameters can be set using the “SEL”- and “SET”-buttons ➪ photo.

Note:

The Mode numbers are shown in the display

 

between the upper and the lower line. Mode 1

 

is also indicated ➪ photo in the display by a

 

black horizontal bar.

To prevent an unintentional alteration of the operational parameters the buttons “SEL”, “SET”, and “PHASE” can by locked using the button “LOCK”. If a button is depressed when the display is locked, the display will show the “OFF” sign. If the display is locked, this is indicated by the “LOCK” symbol in the display.

Note:

Locking the “PHASE”-button has no influence

 

on the inching function.

 

Locking the “SEL”- and “SET”-buttons has no

 

influence on accessories such as the RCU-1.
