Mirror Shutter
A half-moon shaped mirror rotates
in front of the lm gate at the
camera speed. Half of the time the
mirror covers the lm and the light
from the taking lens is reected
up into the viewnder. During that
time, the lm is transported one
frame further. The other half of
the time the mirror leaves the light
path open, so the light from the
taking lens is projected onto the
lm, exposing an image. Since the
mirror's function is to both reect
and shutter light, it is known as a
"mirror shutter".
v
Fiber Optic Screen
The light from the lens is projected
onto a screen (a ber optic screen
in the 416 cameras), which acts
as a rear projection screen. This is
where the viewnder image forms.
w
Field Lens
The eld lens (named as such
because located close to the
image eld) refracts the light into
the entrance pupil of the primary
viewnder lens and the video assist
lens.
x
Video Assist Beam Splitter
80% of the light passes straight up,
while 20% is reected to the side
and projected through the video
assist optics (not pictured) onto the
video assist CCD sensor.

U
Protective Glass
An optically clear glass plate on the
top surface of the camera body pro-
tects the components underneath
from dirt contamination.

ARRIGLOW LED Module
Red green and blue LEDs are situ-
ated on an electronics board above
the partial mirror.
X
Partial Mirror
The light from the ber optic screen
is reected into the viewnder.
At the same time, the light from
the ARRIGLOW LEDs above is let
through. This light is then reected
off the frame line markings on the
ber optic screen, providing illumi-
nated frame lines when needed.

Protective Glass
Located at the mechanical interface
to the eyepiece or eyepiece
extension, this protective glass
prevents dust from getting into the
viewnder optics.
aq
Eyepiece
The eyepiece allows the operator to
view the image. It also provides a
focus adjustment of approximately
+/- 3 diopters.
