Page 9: The Optical Viewfinder
The Optical Viewfinder While most digital cameras use electronic viewfinders, the D-21 is equipped with the same optical viewfinder as all other ARRI cameras. Thus the D-21 viewfinder always shows an image area larger than the image being recorded, and it can be used even when the camera is not powered up. - Page 10 CinemaScope look of anamorphic lenses. Further enhancing the film-like quality of D-21 images is the camera’s rotating mirror shutter, which functions exactly as it does on 35 mm ARRI film cameras. This method of progressive image capture results in the most film-like motion portrayal possible.

One of the obstacles that has held back the use of raw data in the past has been the problem of how to get data easily from the camera to a recorder. ARRI engineers have found a way to utilize a standard dual link HD-SDI connection to transport the raw D-21 Bayer data. - Page 16 A True ARRI Camera The D-21 is a true ARRI camera; it runs silently and has the same robust construc- tion and ergonomic design ARRI cameras are famous for.
