Safety Specifications
• When transporting the camera, make sure that the sliding door securing the field lens is all the way down.
• In order to ensure optimal performance, it is essential that you acquaint yourself with this Quick Guide
and that you follow the operating instructions described herein. We strongly recommend that you also
acquaint yourself with the full 535B instruction manual.
• Assembly and initial operation should only be carried out after carefully reading the instructions and
familiarizing yourself with the equipment and the assembly procedures!
• 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 power cable. Accidentally running
the camera while adjusting the mirror shutter can cause great damage.
