Cleaning the Film Gate
To avoid a build up of dirt in the image area, the format
mask on the ARRIFLEX 435Advanced is set back from the sur-
face of the film gate.
Loose dust or dirt leads to a layer of emulsion forming on
the film gate. This can cause scratches on the film and can
also lead to a change in the film’s coefficient of friction.
The film gate must be removed for cleaning.
Attention!
Keep fingers out of the film gate opening as this
may dirty or damage the mirror shutter.
