Display and Operating Elements
The iris diaphragm is manually adjusted until the
exposure field indicator needle is visible in the view-
finder, to the left, in the middle measurement field. The
middle measurement field stands for correct exposure in
a normally bright scene, the outer points + and - show
over- and underexposure of approximately two aperture
stops.
ARRIGLOW
The illuminated frame viewfinder with variable bright-
ness control - ARRIGLOW - facilitates filming in which
due to the prevailing lighting conditions it would other-
wise be difficult or impossible to see the format mark-
ings. It can be minutely adjusted to suit every lighting
situation.
Set the desired brightness with the adjustment wheel
.
If using effects filters such as strips of gauze on the back
of the lens, or if the back of the lens is dirty, the entire
viewfinder will be brighter.
ARRIGLOW and the exposure meter can only be used
as alternatives to each other. Therefore it is recom-
mended when using ARRIGLOW to proceed in the
following manner:
Switch to exposure meter.
Set the aperture stop.
