Cleaning the Film Gate
Loose dust or dirt leads to a layer of emulsion forming on
the lm gate. This can cause scratches on the lm and can
also lead to a change in the lm’s coefcient of friction.
Attention!
Keep ngers out of the lm gate opening as this
may damage the mirror shutter.
To clean the lm gate
• Remove the layer of emulsion from the lm gate with a
plastic rod (e.g. the ARRI lm gate cleaner). Under no
circumstances use hard or metal objects.
• When cleaning, pay particular attention to the area of
the lm gate opposite the magazine pressure plate if
lm stock with a strong tendency to build up emulsion
(e.g. b/w stock) is being used.
