Safety Specifications
• Use only original ARRI accessories and replacement parts!
• Clean optical surfaces only with an optical brush or a clean optical cloth! In cases of solid dirt, moisten an
optical cloth with pure alcohol (or brand-name lens cleaner).
• Do not use solvents when cleaning the film path!
• When adjusting the mirror shutter, turn the camera off and remove the on-board battery or the power
cable! Accidentally running the camera while adjusting the mirror shutter can cause great damage.
• 16SR 2 magazines as they come from the factory cannot be used for Super 16 or Timecode recording.
• Do not use HS magazines (high speed) on the standard camera, nor standard magazines on the HS
camera!
• Never blow air into the lens opening! The indicator needle on the light meter can be damaged.
• Do not unscrew any screws which are sealed with locking paint!
• When using polarizing filters, use only circularly polarizing filters not linearly polarizing filters, or the light
meter will give incorrect readings.
