MAIN PARTS
Footage counter
The footage counter automatically indicates the amount of film that has
been exposed. The part of the scale between 'F‘ (feet) and 'O‘ corresponds
to the length of the leader. Therefore, start filming only when the figure ‘O'
appears under the coloured dot.
Note: The counter automatically returns to the starting point when the
pressure-ever is operated in the course of loading or unloading the camera
been exposed. The part of the scale between 'F‘ (feet) and 'O‘ corresponds
to the length of the leader. Therefore, start filming only when the figure ‘O'
appears under the coloured dot.
Note: The counter automatically returns to the starting point when the
pressure-ever is operated in the course of loading or unloading the camera
.
Audible end-of-film signal
An audible warning signal is heard when the counter registers 25 ft. (7,5 m).
Speed control
The speed control enables the filming speed to be varied between 8 and 64
frames per second, even while shooting is in progress. The normal filming
speed of 16 frames per second corresponds to the projection speed for silent
films. Films shot at a slower speed (8 frames per second) produce an illusion
of accelerated motion on the screen, while films shot at higher speeds (say 64
frames per second, for instance) produce a slow-motion effect.
