9 3. Introduction The Wireless Remote Control WRC-1 is a handy remote control unit for use with all of the latest generation of ARRIFLEX camera models: ARRIFLEX 16SR 3/Advanced, 16SR 3 HS/Advanced, 535, 535B, 435, 435ES It enables the user to remotely control: • the camera speed, • the shutter angle of the mirror shutter , and • the aperture [...]

10 3.1 Some typical applications Exposure compensation Differences in exposure, such as occur when moving from outdoor to indoor in one take, can be easily , accurately and repeatedly compensated for using the WRC-1. A user defined program, which can be repeatedly activated, is used to control either the iris or the shutter angle of the mirror shut[...]

11 Speed ramps Altering the camera speed also changes the film exposure time. In order to hold the film exposure constant when changing the camera speed, either the shutter angle of the mirror shutter or the aper ture of the lens must be adjusted accordingly . The WRC-1 allows the camera speed to be changed while simultaneously retaining a constant[...]

12 3.2 Functions The WRC/CAM sliding switch is used to select the operating mode ➪ photo . 3.2.1 CAM mode In CAM mode, the operator can access the same settings and modes that are directly available on the camera itself. The display on the WRC-1 shows the same information as the camera display . The MODE, SEL, SET and RAMP buttons have the same f[...]

13 3.2.2 WRC mode The WRC mode offers convenient programming and easy adjusting of the camera speed, the shutter angle and the iris of the lens.

27 5.2 Switching on The WRC-1 does not have its own ON/OFF switch. In wireless mode it is switched on by pressing the ON button on the Wireless Main Unit (WMU-1) ➪ photo . In cable mode it is supplied with power via the cable from the camera as soon as this is switched on. When in use, the background of the LCD of the WRC-1 is illuminated as long[...]

28 5.3 Impor tant instructions • The WRC-1 controls - the camera speed, - the mirror shutter angle, and - the iris of the lens. All three parameters directly influence the exposure of the film. In order to avoid unwanted results, and to prevent the likelihood of incorrect use, all those parameters controlled by the WRC-1 must be set and controlle[...]

29 In WRC mode the WRC-1 over writes 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 swi[...]

30 • If exposure compensation is not possible with the set options – e.g. adjusting the iris cannot be compensated for at the same time by the iris – the WRC-1 displays the message ‘ NO FUNC ’ (no function) in the main menu. The camera can still be run for test purposes even if the READY LED on the WRC-1 lights up red or flashes. In this [...]
