Control and Power
The simple to use control panel on the 416 range should be familiar to
anyone who has ever worked with a modern ARRI camera, since the 416
cameras have inherited the 235's control panel design and illuminated
buttons. All three 416 cameras can therefore be operated without further
training and the setting of any operating parameter can be accomplished
quickly and intuitively.
The powerful and smart Lithium-ion OBB-2 on-board battery can run
up to ve magazines while keeping camera and video assist in standby for
more than two hours. With a built-in power gauge the state of an OBB-2
can quickly be determined, and since the OBB-2 communicates with the
camera, the 416 cameras can accurately display the battery's current
voltage, remaining capacity or how many more magazines the battery's
charge will run. A quick change mechanism, which can be easily operated
with one hand, is integrated into the cameras' bodies and reduces overall
weight.
The same familiar controls found on the 235, 435 and 535 have also been used for the 416.
