Note: The camera remembers the status of the Power On button and restores this status after a power interruption.
Loading the 416 Magazine Note: The 416 magazine has its feed and take-up chambers on opposite sides to the SR 1, 2 & 3 magazines. Step 1: The Feed Side Load the unexposed film into the feed side in absolute darkness (darkroom or changing tent). • Open the feed side magazine door and latch back the lay-on roller arm. • Remove the film from the film can. • Remove the tape from the film head. Ensure that the tape is completely removed and secured out of the way.
Loading the 416 Magazine Loop length mark Rear guide roller Magazine throat Lower sprocket roller Upper sprocket roller Forward guide roller Footage counter roller Transfer roller • Set the loop length by pulling the film head away from you and align it with the loop mark on the bottom of the magazine (see picture above). Adjust the loop length by turning the take-up film core. • Now take your hand off the film core – there is enough inertia in the sprockets to maintain the loop length.
Mounting the Magazine Mounting the Magazine • Insert the magazine throat into the magazine aperture in the back of the camera body and slide the magazine forward until it locks in place. Note: If the Shoulder Pad is attached to the camera, you will need to push down on the Shoulder Pad with your hand or the magazine before inserting the magazine. • Flip the silver Safety Catch on the Magazine Release Lever forward to prevent accidental release of the magazine.
Changing 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.
Beeper, Backlight & RGB ARRIGLOW Beeper The 416 is equipped with a beeper which can sound when the camera is started or stopped. The upper line of display mode 6 allows the user to decide whether and when the beeper sounds and how loud (LS is shown for ‘loudspeaker’). The left-hand bar shows the status of the start beep. The right-hand bar shows the status of the stop beep. In each case, with the bar in the high position the beep will sound, in the low position it will not.
On-board Battery On-Board Battery OBB-2 The OBB-2 On-Board Battery attaches directly to the camera body by means of a quick change mechanism that can be easily operated with one hand. The OBB-2 incorporates a built-in power meter to indicate the state of charge, while an extra contact in the power connector communicates this information to the camera. When an OBB-2 is connected, display mode 3 can additionally show battery capacity or magazines left.
