File Configuration
You can store settings and adjustment values as
data files in the unit's internal memory or on
"Memory Stick" media in order to facilitate later
operations and adjustments. Data files can be
retrieved as required to reproduce stored states.
Notes
• To use a "Memory Stick" to save and read data files,
insert a "Memory Stick" into the "Memory Stick" slot
on the right-side panel of the unit.
• Some limitations apply to file operations in Cine or
Cine-EI mode.
You can use the following six types of files on
this unit. Operate in the subdisplay or the Camera
menu.
Operator files
Operator files store operational settings not
related to picture quality.
At shipment, an operator file with default settings
is stored in the unit's internal memory. After you
change the default settings, you can store the
modified setting data as an operator file on a
"Memory Stick" for later use.
For file operations, use the <OPERATOR FILE>
page of the USER (OPERATION) or FILE menu.
Items stored
The setting items in the OPERATION menu
(page 128) and the customized USER menu
(page 168) are stored.
Lens files
Names of different lenses, their minimum f-stops,
and standard values for these lenses can be
registered in lens files in the unit's internal
memory (maximum 64 files: 32 files for serial
lenses and another 32 files for non-serial lenses).
Files for lenses equipped with lens extenders can
contain two sets of data for extender ON or OFF.

File Configuration
Storage and Retrieval of User Setting Data
When you remount a lens after using another lens,
you can easily recall the appropriate
compensation for that lens by loading the
corresponding lens file.
For non-serial lenses
Select the lens file (File No. 1 to 32)
corresponding to the mounted lens using the
subdisplay or the <LENS FILE> page of the
USER (OPERATION) menu.
For serial lenses
When the lens is mounted, the unit automatically
recognizes the lens name and selects the
corresponding file from the registered files
(maximum 32 files).
Create and modify lens files in Custom mode.
Adjust the necessary items by using the PAINT
and MAINTENANCE menus or the MSU-900/
950 Master Setup Unit. Then store the adjustment
data, by using the <LENS FILE> page of the
FILE menu or by using the MSU-900/950.
You can back up lens files on "Memory Stick"
media.
Note
In Cine and Cine-EI modes, only retrieval of lens files is
possible.
You cannot modify file data or create lens files.
When using an ARRI LDS or Cooke /i system lens
When you mount the lens, the camera identifies it.
If a lens file has been created once for the lens, the
lens file is automatically recalled. If a new lens
file is to be created as the lens is mounted for the
first time, select one of the lens file numbers 1 to
32 and register the lens file with the lens mounted.
Items stored
The items that are stored in lens files are marked
with "√" in the "L" column of the table in "List of
Items Stored in Files" (page 189).
Scene files
Scene files store data adjusted in the PAINT
menu for specific scenes.
