Introduction
1. The ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 - System-Camera
The ARRIFLEX 16SR 3 is a 16mm/Super 16 camera
designed to handle all modern production demands. It
utilizes the full range of ARRIFLEX 535 mechanical,
optical and electronic accessories.
The format change from Normal 16 to Super 16 can
be carried out with very few adjustments. An addi-
tional film gate is not necessary.
Due to the 54mm PL lens mount, all commonly avail-
able lenses can be used. Lenses with a 41mm ARRI-
bayonet-mount can be used with the single push-
button release PL-mount-to-bayonet-mount adapter.
The 16SR 3 time code capability offers access to all
modern electronic post-production processes. The TC-
generator has been integrated into the camera
electronics and the time code recording unit is located
in each magazine.
The video-assist-system with the bright 1/2" color
camera CCD 2-FR and the anti flicker processor AFP-2
for PAL or NTSC supplies a high quality, nearly
flickerfree video images.
As with the ARRIFLEX 535, the new bright viewfinder
can be swung three-dimensionally. An automatic
image compensator ensures that the frame remains
upright and correct left-to-right regardless of the
positon in which the viewfinder is used. The horizon-
tal finder image can be corrected when using the
camera in difficult locations that do not allow the
image to be viewed in the standard viewfinder
positions.
With ARRIGLOW, the ARRIFLEX 16SR 3s new
illuminated frame viewfinder with continuously adjust-
able brightness, all format markings are clearly visible
even in low light situations.
The mechanically adjustable mirror shutter allows
short exposure times and enables the use of HMI
lights, even with older inductive ballasts.
Coaxial magazines with and without TC-recording
unit (time code) are available.16 SR II-magazines can
still be used (without TC-recording) on the ARRIFLEX
16SR 3.
The HS version (high speed) of the camera is de-
signed for speeds of up to 150 fps.
The camera electronics incorporate a large, backlit,
programmable LCD-Display advising the user of the
