F65 & Arri SXT - Shutter Question


Carlos Herrera

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

 

I was reading that the Arri SXT and Sony F65 use Mechanical shutters, while other cinema bodies have rolling and global shutters. What exactly does the phrase "mechanical shutter" mean in relation to these cinema cameras?

 

I'm pretty confused, since I thought there was only global and rolling shutters.

 

Sorry for such a naive question; but I would like to know :)

 

Thank you!

Those cameras use physically spinning shutter disk in front of the sensor. The Arri sensor is still a rolling shutter sensor, however the spinning mirror shutter negates a lot of the wobbly effects. This also allows the use of optical viewfinders.
