ARRI 416 Manuel D’Utilisation

If the on-screen program mode is on because the settings 

are changed, the Menu (M) position clears the screen. For 

example, if color is to be changed with the on-screen 

program tool, the on-screen program window overlays the 

image. To see the image and check its color appearance, 

go to M position. The window disappears but the on-screen 

program mode is still on. By releasing the switch, the 

window will come back in the programming mode.

Only a relatively small portion of the light that passes 

through the film camera’s lens reaches the CCD chip of 

the video assist, because the light is shared between the 

view finder, the CCD Chip and the film. Therefore, the IVS 

lens is designed for normal use with a totally open iris so 

the maximum amount of light falls on the CCD Chip. 

Variations in lighting are compensated by the IVS gain 

control (automatically or manually).

Under certain conditions, such as when lighting is set for 

low sensitivity film (under 100 ASA), it may be that the 

IVS gain range is exceeded. In this case the mechanical 

iris of the IVS lens can be closed.
