ARRI 416 Manuel D’Utilisation

Loose dust or dirt leads to a layer of emulsion forming on 

the film gate. This can cause scratches on the film and can 

also lead to a change in the film’s coefficient of friction.

•  Remove the layer of emulsion from the film gate with a 

plastic rod (e.g. the ARRI film gate cleaner). Under no 

circumstances use hard or metal objects.

•  When cleaning, pay particular attention to the area of 

the film gate opposite the magazine pressure plate if 

film stock with a strong tendency to build up emulsion 

(e.g. b/w stock) is being used.
