Arri's New 416: 35 Format features in a Super 16 Camera
416 First Show in Los Angeles to ASC, Local 600 and Invited Guests
Advances in lenses, film stock and post production technology have elevated the Super 16 film format to new levels of image quality and production efficiency. Super 16 is now routinely used for standard and high definition television productions, feature films, commercials and documentaries with stunning results. By shooting Super 16, productions gain many of the advantages of shooting film - the film look, its unsurpassed exposure latitude, natural color reproduction, variable camera speeds, ramps, proven archivability and film being the only worldwide accepted standard format - at affordable production costs. The small size and light weight of Super 16 equipment has the extra benefit of easy portability for fast paced production environments.
In response to market demand, ARRI is introducing a new Super 16 camera, the ARRIFLEX 416. Based on years of camera engineering, market research and focus groups with renowned industry professionals, the ARRIFLEX 416 brings features previously only found in high end 35 mm cameras to Super 16 productions.
The ARRIFLEX 416 is a lightweight modern Super 16 film camera with a 35-style viewfinder and an amazingly low sound level similar to that of the ARRICAM. Its speed is variable from 1 to 75 fps, and its mirror shutter can be manually adjusted from 45 to 180 degrees. A completely new lightweight ergonomic design, integrated electronic accessories and compatibility with the same lenses and accessories used by its 35 mm siblings make the 416 the most powerful, flexible and portable Super 16 camera ever built.
