Clean optical lens surfaces only with a lens
brush or a clean lens cloth. In cases of solid dirt,
moisten a lens cloth with pure alcohol.
Discard contaminated lens cloth after use!
Never clean a lens brush with your fingers!
If the sensor cover glass has been contaminated
NEVER USE CANS WITH COMPRESSED AIR
OR GAS TO BLOW OFF THE DUST!
This can
severely damage both the mirror shutter and the
sensor cover glass.
If the sensor cover glass has been contaminated
by solid dirt or grease, special optical cleaning
kits should be used very carefully for removal. If
the contamination cannot be removed, the
camera should be taken to an ARRI Service
Center for cleaning.
NEVER USE METHANOL OR ACETONE TO
CLEAN THE SENSOR COVER GLASS!
NEVER REMOVE THE SENSOR COVER GLASS!
DO NOT POINT THE CAMERA INTO DIRECT
SUNLIGHT, VERY BRIGHT LIGHT SOURCES, OR
HIGH-ENERGY LIGHT SOURCES (e.g. laser
beams)!
This may lead to severe injury of your
eyes or loss of sight and may cause permanent
damage to the camera sensor.
3. General Precautions
3.1.
Storage and Transport
To prevent damage to the mirror shutter and the
sensor, a protective cap must be on the lens
mount receptacle while no lens is attached.
All cables have to be unplugged from the
camera when it is transported or stored inside a
camera case.
When the camera is packed for transport, the
ground glass should be removed and placed in
an appropriate box.
Do not store the camera in places where it is
subject to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight,
high humidity, severe vibration, or near strong
magnetic fields.
3.2. Electromagnetic Interference
Portable communication devices, such as mobile
phones or walkie-talkies may cause interference
with video signals or even lead to malfunction
of the camera. It is recommended to keep these
devices turned off when near the camera.
