Operation

5.1.1 CAM mode

The operating elements of the WRC-1 control the same functions as the corresponding elements on the camera: MODE, SEL, SET, and the RUN LED. In CAM mode, the OPEN button corresponds to the PHASE button on the camera. The RAMP button corresponds to the PROG button on the camera. The handwheel and the WRC- and COMPENSATION rotary switches are without function in this operating mode.

•All functions are comprehensively described in the camera instruction manuals and are not repeated.

The display of the WRC-1 shows the same information as the camera display in this operating mode.

Note:

If the WRC-1 is only to be used in this operating

 

mode, it is advisable to set the WRC/CAM

 

sliding switch to CAM before the WRC-1 is

 

switched on. This ensures that the set frame rate

 

or a programmed shutter angle in the camera’s

 

PS/CCU mode and the WRC-1 in WRC mode

 

is not unintentionally altered.

 

In WRC mode the WRC-1 overwrites the

 

camera’s shutter angle and speed settings

 

(see Important instructions).

 

Camera programs which have been stored in

 

the camera via the CCU or the LCC are not

 

affected.

Forward or reverse run is set in the same way as on the camera itself.

Note:

With the ARRIFLEX 535 forward or reverse run is

 

set in the same way as on the ARRIFLEX 535B,

 

435, 16SR 3/Advanced.
