SHOOTING 8MM MOVIES AND
FILMS
The film inside the 8mm cine camera
is actually 16mm, or double the width,
with the length being 7.5 meters.
One half of the entire length is expos
ed during each run After both sides
are exposed and developed, split into
two strips and sliced into 8mm width,
the film is ready for showing.
The developing, splitting and splicing
of the film are all handled by the Film
Company.
When the exposed film is sent to the
film manufacturer, it will be processed
and returned to you on a roll which can
be inserted into the projector immedi
ately.
A reversal development converts the
8mm roll, whether black and white or
color, into a positive picture film.
Accordingly, because of its narrow lat
itude compared with the ordinary film,
it is essential that special attention
should be paid to exposure.
One 8mm roll of film, 15 meters in
length, has a running time of four
minutes. In terms of volume, it is
equivalent to a 16mm film which is
30 meters in length.

FILMING SPEED AND SHUTTER
The 8mm shutter is closely connected
with the film advance.
The exposure is made from the rotation
of the semicircular leaf which has a given
angle. When the leaf is rotating, expo
sure of one frame and film advance are
coupled, moving synchronously. In other
words, when the open section of the leaf
is at the aperture section, the film stops
for exposure. The principle of this process
is that when the aperture section is block
ed by the rotating leaf, an advance of the
exposed frame takes place.
The term 16 frames denote that in one
second, 15 frames are exposed and ad
vanced, while 32 frames would mean that
the speed will be doubled. Hence, the ex
posure time is determined by the open
angle of this leaf and the rotating speed
and is regulated by the filming speed.

VARIABLE SHUTTER CONTROL
ADJUSTING THE 8mm CAMERA FILM
SPEED
Putting aside the 8mm at this point, let
us consider the film speed adjustment of
the ordinary camera. For a fast moving
object, a fast shutter speed is selected.
In a dark room, the slow shutter is properly
adjusted and set in open position. For an
ordinary camera, shutter and diaphragm
are freely adjusted together.
However, in the case of the 8mm camera
the filming speed cannot be changed at will.
The reason is that the standard speed is
fixed at 16 frames. Because under normal
conditions, the shooting of the film is done
on the basis of 16 frames and projected
at the speed of 16 frames, change of speed
should be made only when you intend to
take special types of movies such as trick
shots. In other words, the exposure ad
justment is not done by changing shutter
speed, but is done by adjusting the
diaphragm.
EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT WITH THE
VARIABLE SHUTTER CONTROL
Instead of relying only on the diaphragm,
the variable shutter control enables the
change of exposure to be made with the
shutter. As explained earlier, the exposure
time is determined by the open angle of
the shutter. By changing the degree of
this angle, the exposure time is reduced.
Although the ordinary 8mm camera has the
shutter opening angle fixed at around 150°,
in the case of the Canon Cine Zoom 512
the angle may be changed to any of the
four stages between 155° to 0°. It is pos
sible, therefore, to freely make exposure
adjustments. In addition, fade-in and fadeout may be easily carried out.
Page 13
ADJUSTING FILMING SPEED
The filming speed dial adjusts the number
of film frames advanced during a period
of one second, and in the case of the 8mm
movies, the standard speed is 16 frames.
Turn the diai, and set the red dot to the
required fiiming speed.
• Intermediate speeds on the dial may be
used. The change in speed in such a
case may be regarded as consecutive.
I The dial cannot be turned between
and 8.
• Avoid slipping resulting from high film
ing speed; in particular, the 64 filming
speed.
64
FILMING SPEED AND PICTURE EFFECTS
The 8mm movie is taken and projected at
a standard filming speed of 16 frames.
Hence, if speeds other than 16 are used,
the effects of the picture wili vary when
the film is projected.
HIGH FILMING SPEED
When the film is taken at a high filming
speed of between 24 to 64, slow motion
effects will result during the projection.
For example, as 64 frames represent a
fourfold increase in the standard speed of
frames, this means that the projection
will take four times ionger. By decreas
ing the speed of motion, it reduces the
blur of rapid movement and is especially
helpful in showing any motion analytically.
The time of exposure being rapid, it also
prevents blurring when panning and can
be conveniently utilized to control expo
sure when taking pictures of the clear sky.
13
Page 14
LOW FiLMtNG SPEED
Under 12 frames, the effects are propor
tionately opposite to high filming speed.
By reducing the number of frames, the
sense of speed is heightened. Serving to
accentuate the motion of the object, it
can make movements humorous and far
away objects appear to be nearer. In addi
tion, in case it is too dark when the film
ing speed is 16—and the aperture is fully
open—it may be used to compensate the
inadequacy of light and under exposure.
• When it is used to control exposure,
refrain from shooting objects that have
normal movements.
High filming speed for moving reflections
on water.
High filming speed for detailed analysis
of a golf shot.

ADJUSTMENT OF VARIABLE
SHUTTER CONTROL
By sliding the variable shutter adjusting
lever, it is possible to change the open
angle of the shutter leaves at four stages
from OPEN to CLOSE.
By doing so, besides being able to adjust
the exposure, operation of the fade-out
and fade-in may be executed very effec
tively.
• Sliding of the lever may be carried out
smoothly to adjust the full opening and
full closure.
• Each stage of the scale is at a position
which halves the open angle, thus the
open angle degree of each shutter scale
is as follows :
OPEN 2 4 CLOSE
165° 82.5°, 41.25° 0
(Completely opened) (Completely closed)
• Although each point of the scale has a
click stop, the intermediate points of
the scale also changes consecutively.
• By sliding the lever beyond CLOSE, it
will stop opposite the rewind release but
ton. The shutter will not function, (see
section on fade).
VARIABLE SHUTTER CONTROL AND
FILMING SPEED
Changing the variable shutter adjusting
lever will relatively affect the filming
speed and exposure time as follows:
165° 0 1/18 1/26 1/35 1/50 1/70 1/100 1/140
82.5° 2 1/36 1/52 1/70 1/100 1/140 1/200 1/280

8 12 16 24 32 48 64
ADJUSTMENT OF THE VARIABLE SHUT
TER ADJUSTING LEVER AND FILM
SENSITIVITY
Setting of the lever will change the expo
sure according to the dial. As a result, it
is necessary to change the setting of the
film sensitivity to compensate the expo
sure factor. To do this, adjust the film
sensitivity to the exposure factor mark
which is the same as the open angle index
being used. By doing this, the meter will
function properly. For example, when the
shutter opening angle is set at 2, and the
speed of the film being used is ASA 25, set
the scale of 25 at the 2x index mark.
Page 17

blurred.
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE VARIABLE
SHUTTER CONTROL
Since a fast exposure time may be at
tained even at the same filming speed,
this greatly contributes to the effective
ness of the picture.
Since a shutter speed of 1/140 sec. can
be attained even with a 16 filming setting,
not only can the exposure be adjusted, but
it helps to prevent a moving object from
appearing blurred as well as blur caused by
moving the camera.
High filming speed may be used to film a
moving object at slow speed, and get a
sharp picture.
It can be used to great advantage when
panning a scene in which the change from
light to dark is very pronounced.
During properly exposed panning, by moving
the lever, it is possible to take exposed
scenes of dark to bright places continuously.

CONFIRMING WITH FRAME COUNTER
One rotation of the film counter equals
80 frames (one foot), enabling calculation of
even a single frame.
The indication is given by the rotating
mark inside the dial. For regular rotation
it is reverse calculation, for reverse rotation,
it is regular calculation.
Thus, before shooting, set it to zero and

SHUTTER RELEASE BUTTON
Pressing the shutter button will advance
the film as the pictures are being taken.
At this time, the lever should be at the R
position. Depending on the position of the
shutter button control lever, it will work in
the following three ways:
1. Safety lock
If the lever is at the L position, the
shutter button is locked, preventing
any unintentional release of film. Con
venient when traveling.
2. Running lock
Place the lever at R position and press
the shutter button. Then turn the lever
to L position. The shutter is now in a
depressed state, enabling pictures to
be taken even after the finger is
removed,
3. Single frame photography
Turn the lever to 1 position. Then by
pressing the shutter button, it is possible
to take a single frame picture. Single
frame photography is particularly suit
able for illustrating plant growth, for
trick photography, animated cartoons,
etc.
• In the case of single frame photography,
use the 12 filming speed, with exposure
time around 1,25 sec Aperture coupled
to the exposure meter.
RELEASE SOCKET
The release may be attached to the shut

ZOOMING
The picture seen through the viewfinder eye
piece will not only change in magnification
but the scope of vision will also change
when the zooming ring is rotated. What is
seen in the viewfinder is the same as that
which will appear on the film. At the maximun magnification, the focal length of the
lens is 42.5mm, at the minimum, 8.5mm.
Zooming will give your pictures varying

FOCUSING
Focusing can be attained when the distance
is correctly measured. By turning the focus

The longer the focal length of the lens, the
more accurately the aligned image can be
distinguished. As focusing does not change
by zooming, even when using small magni
fication, focus with the maximum magnifi
cation and then return to minimum magni
fication. To adjust the focus with the eye,
obtain the distance and then adjust this

FADE-OUT AND FADE-IN
FADE-OUT (F. O.)
By gently pushing the variable shutter ad
justing lever continuously, the shutter can
be closed at the CLOSE position. When this
is done, the bright picture gradually darkens
and finally fades out. This is known as
"fade-out”
• If the lever is turned beyond CLOSE, it
is possible (up to the red dot) to run the
film with a totally closed aperture.
FADE-IN (F. I.)
By shooting the film while progressively
returning the totally closed lever, the dark
picture gradually becomes brighter. This is
known as "fade-in.”
• The fading technique is used in movies
when there is a change of scene. Generally
speaking, the fade-in operation is used at
the beginning of a movie and the fade-out
at the end. The technique of fading may
also be used to show the elapse of time
or a sudden change in scene. However, it
should not be used indiscriminately.
• For a quickly changing scene, with the
filming speed at 16, a fade of 1~1.5 sec.
would be adequate, or about 2-~3 sec. in
the case of a slow moving scene.

OVERLAP
Overalp
OVERLAP (O. L.)
The technique of overlapping a scene by
combining the fade-out and fade-in to have
a smooth transition of scene is known as
the "overlap" For 8mm movies, this tech
nique is regarded as difficult to master.
First, operate the fade-out.
Next, rewind only the film footage which
has been faded out. (see section on re-wind-
ing)
Then, fade-in in the next scene over this
section, in other words, double expose. This
procedure will first make the scene darker
and then progressively brighten the scene
which follows.
• Be sure to accurately calculate the time
of fade-in and fade-out and the number
of frames affected. Good effects cannot
be obtained if the timing is wrong.
• It is essential that the lever be moved
evenly and smoothly
• As for the time of the overlap, a period
of under five seconds is considered as
appropriate.

HOW TO HOLD THE CAMERA
If the camera is not stable during the shoot
ing, the picture that is projected will be
dancing and full of defects. This is espe
cially true when taking long distance shots
and when zooming. To get the best results,
the use of the tripod is recommended.
Page 32
BASIC HOLDS
Hold the bottom of the body with the right
hand, and with the thumb press the shutter
release button.
With the left hand, adjust the zooming lever
and aperture.
Hold the grip with the right hand, and pull
the trigger with the forefinger.
With the left hand adjust the aperture,
focus and manipulate the zoom lever.
• It is advisable to use a lens hood when
taking pictures against the light.
Page 33
LOADING THE FILM
For the 8mm camera, the double width, or
16mm film, is used. This is exposed one
side at a time. Unlike the ordinary camera
which exposes a strip of film once, two
separate exposures are required, one half of
the strip at a time. When one half of the
strip is exposed, the film is turned over so
that the other half of the strip may be ex
posed. Since the loading is easy to learn,
there is a tendency to be careless, which
often results in slipping and entry of light.
Such cases are not rare. Therefore, it is
important to become fully acquainted with
the correct method of loading.
AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT
The film is wound around a spool. In order to
avoid stray light, a leader section of 3 feet
at both ends of the reel has been provided.
Against any direct strong light, there is
always the danger of light infiltrating. It
is, therefore, desirable that the loading and
reloading be carried out quickiy in the shade,
if need be, in the shade of your own body.
Follow the procedures outlined below;
Raise the winding crank, and wind the spring.
Turn the side cover lock and open the cover.

Press the shutter button a moment and
check the film advance. An advance of
about 3~4cm is sufficient.
• The shutter button cannot be pressed
unless the safety lock is at R position.

After checking the film advance, close the
cover, and press the knob while turning.
• Unless the pressure plate has been com
pletely returned, the side cover cannot
be closed.

Press the shutter button, and run the film
until the film counter advances from S to
0.
• Shooting is to begin from 0 position.
15
Fully charge the winding crank.
FILM COUNTER
As the pictures are being taken, the film
counter dial as well as the frame counter
revolve to show the amount of exposed film.
The entire length of film to be exposed is
divided into ten sections with 25 as the
maximum. (A mark or numeral denotes 2.5
feet.) The distance between S to 0 at the
beginning and 25 to F at the end represents
the leader section. The filming speed dial
is used for fading technique and single-frame
photography. No attention need be paid to
it during ordinary photography.
Page 37
FILM RELOADING OPERATION
When one side of the 7.5 strip of film has
been completely exposed, reverse the film
and use the remaining half.
1. After the film counter indicates 25 for
the first half of the film, stop taking
pictures.
2. Then press the shutter button and ad
vance the film leader until the film count
er moves from 25 to F.
3. Open the side cover and remove both
spools. Reverse the spools so that the
figure ©will appear on top.
4. The same procedure applies as that fol
lowed when the spool was first inserted.
The spools are interchanged, the supply
spool being inserted into the shaft of the
take-up spool and vice versa.
• When making the reloading, be especially
careful of any sagging of the film.
FILM UNLOADING
When the counter has advanced to 25 after
reloading, advance the film until it reaches
F, and then unload.
The film has now been exposed on both
sides. Prevent the film from loosening and
place it in the empty container which orig
inally contained the film and then send it to
the film company for developing.
• Loading and unloading of the film must
be done in the shade.
CLEANING THE APERTURE SECTION
It is very important to keep the camera
clean when loading the film. The aperture
section where the film passes, that is, the
section held by the pressure plate, easily
gathers film fragments and dust. If this
is not cleaned out, scratches and blots will
appear on the film. The camera can be
kept free of dirty elements by using the
blower on the open pressure plate each time
the film is loaded. Anything solid should
be gently removed with a toothpick or the
like. Do not use any metallic or other hard
objects.

HOW TO USE THE CONVERTER
The tele-converter for the Canon Cine Zoom
512 is an attachment for the zoom shoot
ing lens. In this case, the magnification
conversion, or range focal length is from
14mm to 70mm, making possible photo
graphy in a wide range, from standard to
teiephotography.

Fasten with the tightening screw.
Pull out the built-in hood.
Zooming and focusing are carried out in the
ordinary manner.
• CONVERTER STANDARD REFLECTING
PAINT
The grey paint on the slanting section of
the Converter produces the same result
as the standard reflecting plate of the
meter. Although the CdS light window
can be blocked with the use of the lens,
the appropriate amount of light can be
imparted.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
When the eye is off the viewfinder during
the filming, for titling or single-frame photo
graphy, as well as panning photography with
the use of the tripod, always remember to
bar the entry of any strong light into the
eyepiece when the shutter is pressed.
When a very strong light hits the eyepiece,
there are cases of the viewfinder’s light
reflecting section being pierced and a
"ghost" reflection will appear on the film.
CLEANING THE FILM GATE
When taking pictures, fully charge the
spring motor.
Avoid failures during the take. Make it a
habit to always keep the motor in full charge
condition. During long takes, the spring
motor may become fully exhausted. In such
a case, it will stop while the shutter is open
and the last frame may be wastefully
exposed.
STORING THE CAMERA
Keep the camera away from dampness, heat,
and dust. When storing, do not place the
camera near naphthalene or camphor. While
it is not necessary to oil any part of the
camera, a periodic overhaul and cleaning
will prolong its life.
SAFETY LOCK
When storing the camera in the case, turn
the safety lock of the shutter to L. If there
is a grip, also lock the safety lock lever of
the grip.

FILTER
The 48mm filter for the camera itself and
the 72mm filter for the Converter are avail
able. When using the filter, pay regard to
the exposure factors.
HOW TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS
When the filter factor is 2, 4, 8, adjust
the film speed setting dial to the expo
sure factor mark of 2, 4, 8, respectively.
Generally, the film speed is divided by
the filter factor, and the value becomes
the speed for the filter. The film speed
setting dial is set accordingly.
