ARRI WRC-1 - Manual (Page 29)

29
In WRC mode the WRC-1 overwrites the
camera-internal settings for the camera speed
and the mirror shutter angle.
This can result in the following takes being in-
correctly exposed if the set values are not checked.
In practice this means, for instance, that the
angle of the mirror shutter set by the WRC-1 is
retained; this also applies when switching back
from PS/CCU to NORM.
The shutter angle is not automatically reset to 180
° !
• All programs set using the WRC-1 are only stored in
the WRC-1 itself, and not in the camera. The RAMP
function of the WRC-1 therefore is not identical with
the camera’s own program function. It is therfore also
independent of a program which has been stored in
the camera using the CCU or the LCC. These camera
programs cannot be altered using the WRC-1. They
can only be activated and started in CAM mode like
using the operating buttons close to the camera display.
• The ZMU must always be switched on first if cable and
wireless units are used together.
• The WRC-1 and ICU-1 may not be operated simulta-
neously.
The WRC-1 continuously sends values to the
camera when adjustments are carried out using
the handwheel or during ramp functions. The
radio connection must therefore function perfectly,
otherwise the correct exposure is not ensured.
The user must check that the RF LED is always
on green while the ramp function is running!
• If a warning is displayed that the compensation limit
values cannot be adhered to (readings ‘ANGLE
RANGE’, ‘IRIS RANGE’, ‘SPEED RANGE’), while
switching over the WRC or the COMPENSATION
rotary switches, the end-stops or limit values are still
programmed as described. The exceeded values can
then be corrected in the relevant submenus.
• All warnings, such as when end-stops or limit values
are exceeded, are only shown in the main menu. The
submenus, on the other hand, are only used to define
all relevant values.
