Loading the 416 Magazine

Note: The 416 magazine has its feed and take-up chambers on opposite sides to the SR 1, 2 & 3 magazines.

Step 1: The Feed Side

Load the unexposed film into the feed side in absolute darkness (darkroom or changing tent).

• Open the feed side magazine door and latch back the lay-on roller arm.

• Remove the film from the film can.

• Remove the tape from the film head. Ensure that the tape is completely removed and secured out of the way.

• Place the film roll on the core holder so it unwinds in the direction shown in the picture below. Press it down fully.

Note: When placing film on the feed side core holder, do not push on the film itself as it could become conical.

Push on the film core instead.

• Hold the film roll still and turn the core holder until the core holder key clicks into the key slot of the film core.

Make sure the core holder cannot turn any further.

• Release the lay-on roller arm gently so the roller rests on the outer surface of the film roll. The sides of the

roller should overlap the film roll edges, as shown in the picture below.

• Push approximately 15 cm (6”) of film into the slit at the top of the angled transfer roller. Then thread the film

around the guide roller.

• Replace and lock the feed side magazine door, being careful not to trap any film in the process.

Step 2: The Take-up Side

The following procedures may be carried out in the light.

• Flip the magazine over lengthways so the take-up door is uppermost and the top of the magazine is facing

you. The ‘ARRI’ on the door will be upside down.

• Open the take-up side magazine door and latch back the footage counter roller arm. Fit an empty film core

to the take-up core holder.

• The film head should be protruding from the transfer roller. Check that it is cut squarely through a perforation.

• Thread the film head around the forward guide roller as indicated inside the magazine. Without touching the

film core, push the film head into the upper sprocket roller until its teeth engage in the film perforations.

• Once the sprocket teeth have engaged in the film perforations, turn the film core until the film head emerges

from the magazine throat.

• Set the loop length by pulling the film head away from you and align it with the loop mark on the bottom of

the magazine (see picture above). Adjust the loop length by turning the take-up film core.

• Now take your hand off the film core – there is enough inertia in the sprockets to maintain the loop length.

• Hold the film between thumb and middle finger of your left hand, while using your index finger to push the

film head into the lower magazine throat slot. The angle at which the film enters is not as critical as it is on
SR magazines.

• Keep pushing the film in with your index finger until you see the sprockets rotate. Now take hold of the film

core again and rotate it counter-clockwise. This will pull the film from the throat into the take-up chamber.

Rear guide roller

Footage counter roller

• Thread the film around the rear guide roller following the path indicated in the magazine.

• Insert the film head into the film core (see picture right) and manually wind the core holder

two or three turns until the film winds tightly onto the core..

• Unlatch the footage counter roller arm.

Correct

• Close and lock the take-up side door.

• If using timecode, set the sensitivity switch according to the table on page 19 of this guide.

The switch is located at the top left corner of the feed side door.

Mounting the Magazine

Mounting the Magazine

• Insert the magazine throat into the magazine aperture in the back of the camera body and slide the

magazine forward until it locks in place.

Note: If the Shoulder Pad is attached to the camera, you will need to push down on the Shoulder Pad with your

hand or the magazine before inserting the magazine.

• Flip the silver Safety Catch on the Magazine Release Lever forward to prevent accidental release of the

magazine.
