Exposure Control and ARRIGLOW
When using ARRIGLOW no exposure measurement is
possible. To switch between exposure control and
ARRIGLOW:
• Turn the adjustment knob according to its
markings to the stop position until it locks noticeably
into place.
Exposure Control
The exposure meter has an area of measurement of 13
to 31 DIN (16 to 1000 ASA) at speeds of 5 to 75 fps
(5 to 150 fps on the HS camera). Speed is automati-
cally taken into account by the exposure meter, regard-
less of whether the speed has been set internally
(through the camera display) or externally (e.g. through
the CCU-1 or the ESU-1), or whether the camera is in
Standby or running.
In order to receive a correct reading it is necessary to
set the correct film speed. To do this:
• Set film speed on the exposure meter with the rosette
wheel .
If using polarizing filters use only circular
ones, as the exposure meter will otherwise
supply incorrect values.
The exposure meter is set to an open sector of the mirror
shutter of 180
°
. For lesser aperture stops exposure
control must be corrected by resetting film speed. The
correction for the aperture stop setting should be taken
from the table on the next page. Intermediate values can
be estimated (half a stop = -3 DIN = ASA/2).
