6. Changing Fps
With the NORM - PS/CCU switch on the camera's right side in the NORM position, the standard speeds 24, 25, 29.97 and 30 fps can be run. In the PS/CCU position, any speed from 3.000 to 60.000 fps, forward or reverse, can be run. All speeds set on the camera are crystal speeds. Setting a Standard Speed � Ensure that the locking slider is in the unlocked (right) position. � Make sure the LCD display is in mode 1. � Push the SEL button to cycle through the available standard speeds 24, 25, 29.97 and 30 fps. Each speed will �ash for about 3 seconds. � While a speed is �ashing, push the SET button to set it. Note: Set the NORM - PS/CCU switch to NORM to run the camera at the set standard speed. Setting a Programmable Speed (PS) � Ensure that the locking slider is in the unlocked (right) position. � Push the MODE button once to change from mode 1 to mode 2 ("PS" - programmable speed). � Press the SEL button to select one digit after the other. A selected digit will blink. Press the SET button to increment the value of a �ashing digit by one. Repeat this procedure for all digits that need to be changed. The display will show full frame speed plus three digits past the decimal point. The 1/1000 th of a fps is displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the display. Note: Set the NORM - PS/CCU switch to NORM to run the camera at the set standard speed. Note: One SEL button push beyond the 1/1000th fps is the setting that allows for reverse running (cd). Since it is fairly easy to change, be careful not to accidentally set the camera to run in reverse when changing the programmable speed. Always double check! Setting the Camera to run in Reverse � Ensure that the locking slider is in the unlocked (right) position. � Push the MODE button once to change from mode 1 to mode 2 ("PS" - programmable speed). � Press the SEL button repeatedly until "cd" (camera direction) blinks. � Change the running direction of the camera now with the SET button. When the camera is set to run in reverse, a minus sign is displayed in front of the "PS" symbol. Note: This minus sign is the only indication that the camera will run in reverse. Pay close attention! Note: Camera direction will be set to reverse for the standard speeds (NORM) and for the programmable speeds (PS). Arri�ex 535B Quick Guide, 4/99, Page 12
