Cjjion Aijta Zoom i014 Electron

The New 8mm Cjnon Auto Zoom 1014 Electronic is a Super 8 movie

camera o^ extraordinary nigh quaiity It was conceived on the basis of the

experience gained with the Canon Auto Zoom 814 Electronic

The full range of Canon's technological resources was employed to develop

ITS lens whose zoom ratio is 10 times and its speed is f/1.4, the fastest in

this class The resolving power and ability to reproduce color are also

without parallel.

With

its

built-in

rewinding

and

variable

shutter

control

mechanisms,

lap

are

possible

Built-in

1 10-Time Compact Zoom Lens with Excellent Resolving Power

* Although

10 times

is

considered

a

high

magnification

in

a

zoom

lens.

I t s

filter

diameter

is

only

58mm

and

is

very

compact.

In

trying

to achieve

better

resolving

power,

half

of

the

lens components

are

newly

developed

glasses, and Super Spectra Coating was

applied

to

eliminate

ghost

and

flare

completely.

^TTL Servo EE of High Precision Metering

^TTL metering which measures the incoming light through the lens is employed and CdS photocells are placed behind the diaphragm and dose to the focal plane for more precision. An EE system with the Servo meter curately controls the aperture, and since this system is more powerful

a n former ones, the minimum diaphragm aperture of f/32 became possible. An ail-transistor bridge circuit which remains stable during temperature and voltage changes is adopted to make pictures always steady, even at the high speed of 54 fps.

0 New Mechanism for Lap Dissolve and Superimposition

^ Advanced techniques, such as fade-in/out. lap dissolve and superimposition can be done accurately and easily.

This extraordinary camera will give you greater joys in movie making.

0 Checking the Batteries

^ If there is not enough

voltage the camera does not work properly. It is

advisable to check the batteries occasionally.

•

Turn the switch dial to

"R", push

the

battery

check

button

and

read

the

needle in the check window.

•

When

the

needle points

to the blue zone, the voltage is satisfactory and

you

can

use

any shooting

technique. When

the needle

is in

the white

zone,

the

voltage is

enough

only

to

run

the

film

at 18

fps. When

the

needle

is in

the red zone, the voltage

is

too

low

and

you

should

change

the

batteries.

With the needle in the red zone,

even if

the

camera

seems

to

work,

the

voltage is

not

enough

to

operate

the

exposure

system

properly,

so

be

sure

to change the batteries.

3	Set the filming speed.
	The standard filming speed for Super 8 movie is 18 fps and the
movement of the subject will then look most natural when projected.
•	Turn	the filming	speed	dial to	18.	Make	sure	that	the	index	is correctly
set toward the number.
•	When	projecting	the film	shot	at 24	fps,	motion	is	1.3	times	slower than
when taken at the standard 18 fps. Use 24 fps for the following effects.

■Making standard sound film

■Slowing down the motion

■Lengthening the zooming time

■Avoiding blur while panning

The slow-motion shooting mechanism is built in.

This

is

especially useful for analyzing fast moving

animals

or

sport

events.

•

The

instant

slow-motion

is

shot

at

approximately

54

fps.

When

the

instant

slow-motion

switch

is

pressed

while

shooting,

the

speed

of

the

• The instant slow-motion switch works

only when it is pressed down. Be

careful not to release it during slow-motion shooting.

• The instant slow-motion switch should

be pressed down quickly. If it is

pressed slowly, several frames may not be correctly exposed.

The

instant

slow-motion switch is

useless

in

single

frame shooting,

and

if it

is pressed the frame shall be over-exposed.

•

The

movement of slow-motion shooting

when

projected

is about three

times as slow as the ordinary one. Use it in the following cases:

■To avoid blurs during panning or while you are moving.

■To slow down the motion

Single frame shooting is explained in detail in page 31.
