  • AlbertZAlbertZ

    Arri has unveiled the concept and prototype of a new educational camera to help students deal with the difficulty of modern digital cameras while learning film camera fundamentals such as image composition and exposure. It features simplified functionality and a Super 16 sensor mode to allow the use of 16 mm lenses commonly found in film schools.

    For the moment, they have released a firmware update which let you to use your cheap and good s16mm lenses directly on Mini and Amira.

    "Now with a new Software Update Packet (SUP) 4.0 release the Mini is going to gain a Super16 crop mode that will allow the use of vintage Super16 lenses, and B4 ENG lenses with optical adapters like those from MTF or IBE. Configured this way the Mini becomes an even more versatile option for high quality run-and-gun documentary style shooting. The Super16 mode is limited to HD frame sizes and it is achieved by recording a crop of the sensor and then slightly upscaling it in-camera up to 1920×1080. ARRI say it is a little noisier than regular shooting – although they characterise the noise as filmic. ARRI Amira users are not left out – that camera also gets the mode with the SUP 4.0 release."
