Camera Display - Fps & Shutter Angle
The NORM and PS/CCU buttons above the display select between preset Standard Speeds and user
adjustable Programmable Speeds. Standard Speeds of 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 & 30 fps are possible, while
the Programmable Speed can be set anywhere from 1.000 - 75.000 fps.
Note: If LOCK shows in the display, the camera settings are locked. To unlock, briefly press the LOCK button.
Setting the Standard Speed (NORM)
• Make sure the display is in mode 1 (black bar visible). If not, repeatedly
press MODE until it is. If PS/CCU shows in the display, press NORM.
• If the total exposed film is displayed, pressing SEL steps first through
the digits of the top line then the Standard Speeds below. If take length
is displayed, pressing SEL will cycle only through the Standard Speeds.
• While the desired speed is flashing, press SET to set the speed.
Setting a Programmable Speed (PS/CCU)
• Press PS/CCU to switch from NORM to PS/CCU.
• Press MODE once to switch the display from mode 1 to mode 2.
• Pressing SEL selects one digit after another. The selected digit flashes.
• Press SET to increment the value of the flashing digit by 1.
• Repeat the last 2 steps for all the digits that need to be changed.
Final confirmation of the set speed is not necessary.
Checking the Mirror Shutter Angle
• With the camera in Standby, press and hold PHASE. The
camera will inch at approximately 1 fps.
• After 2 seconds the top line of the display shows the open angle
of the mirror shutter, while the bottom line shows the supply
voltage. With an OBB-2 connected, the bottom line can
optionally show the remaining battery capacity (in percent)
or the remaining running time (in hours).
Changing the Mirror Shutter Angle
Note: Before adjusting the mirror shutter, check that it is in the
viewing position then turn off the camera and remove the
battery or power cable! Accidentally running the camera
during adjustment would cause catastrophic damage!
• Remove the lens or lens port cavity cap and hold the mirror
shutter still by engaging the tip of the red plastic film track
cleaning rod in the slot in the centre of the mirror shutter.
Do NOT use a regular metal screwdriver.
• Insert the 416 Shutter Tool into the adjustment hole below the
mirror centre.
• Turn the 416 Shutter Tool until the desired Mirror Shutter preset
angle is reached. Angle presets are: 180º, 172.8º, 150º, 144º,
135º, 90º & 45º. Turning counter-clockwise reduces the angle.
