Ground glasses
The image created by the lens is projected to the ground glass, from
where it is picked up by the optical viewfinder.
Ground glasses contain frame and format markings to show the
recorded image area and the area of interest. The sensor aperture of
the ALEXA Studio is different from the camera aperture of ANSI and
DIN Super35 formats. Therefore, Super35 ground glasses of the
ARRICAM system do not provide exact frame markings in the ALEXA
Studio viewfinder image. For exact framing, use only ground glasses
made specifically for the ALEXA Studio.
To exchange a ground glass:
Press the VIEW button so that the sensor is protected by the
mirror shutter.
Turn off the camera and disconnect it from power supply.
Remove the lens or protective cap.
Screw the ARRI Ground Glass Puller into the ground glass.
Carefully pull out the ground glass.
Check that the new ground glass and the ground glass holder
are clean.
Screw the ARRI Ground Glass Puller into the new ground glass
and push it into the holder.
Make sure the ground glass is inserted completely and correctly
locked in place.
Unscrew the ground glass puller from the ground glass.
Attach a lens or a protective cap to the lens mount.
