Main Features of Canon Scoopic 16

First 16mm Movie Camera to Incorporate

1

Zoom Lens: Canon Scoopic 16 is the world’s

first 16mm movie camera to incorporate a built­in zoom lens. The zoom lens on this revolution
ary movie camera has a zoom ratio of 1 : 5.85,
or a focal length of 13mm wide-angle to 76mm
telephoto which covers the focal lengths used
most often. The lens speed is a pre-eminent
F 1.6.

First 16mm Movie Camera to Incorporate

2

Electric Eye with Manual Override: Shoot

ing with accurate exposure is always possible
with the automatic aperture mechanism which
is coupled to the built-in CdS cell. It couples to
the entire range of this camera's f/stops and
filming speeds. Switch-over from electric eye
mechanism to manual operation is easily done by
shifting the master switch.

Bright Viewfinder with Prism Screen View

3

finder: Bright, easy-to-see single-lens reflex

viewfinder eliminates parallax displacement and
the Scoopic incorporates a prism screen range

finder to assure accurate focusing. All the nec
essary information, f/stops, over/under exposure
warning marks and manual aperture control marks,
are visible inside the viewfinder. The rubber-

hooded eyecup, which effectively cuts out extra
neous light, is movable from left to right or vice

versa and is adjustable from —4 to -I-1 diopters.

Powerful NiCd Battery Power Supply : A 12 v

4

nickel cadmium rechargeable battery is used as
the power source for film drive and the electric eye
circuit. This small and high performance battery

can be used semipermanently. A fully charged
battery will provide power for filming 800 feet at
24 fps. The battery can be completely recharged
in 14 hours with the exclusive battery charger.

How to Charge the Battery

An exclusive type 12 v nickel cadmium recharge
able battery is used in the Scoopic 16 as the
pow/er source for film drive and electric eye. The
camera functions only when this charged battery
is properly loaded. A fully charged battery will
provide power for driving eight reels of 100-foot
(30.5-meter) length film at 24 frames per second.

#Since this battery is not charged when you
purchase it, be sure to charge the battery before
loading it into the camera.

Canon Scoopic Battery Charger-S

The exclusive Battery Charger-S is used for charg

ing the nickel cadmium battery. Each battery

can be charged simultaneously either in a pair or
singly.

Set the voltage switch according to the voltage

I

to be used. For example, in a locale where

the household voltage is 220 v, set the voltage
switch at 200-240 v.

#Be very careful not to make a mistake on the

voltage setting.

Insert the battery after matching the + and

2

This releases the lock and frees the cover.

Open the cover and load the battery, matching

2

the + and — markings on the battery with

those in the battery compartment.

#Take the battery out of the camera when it is

not to be used for a prolonged period of time.

#lt is best to always carry extra batteries for

worry-free shooting.

Checking the Battery

Check the power level of the battery regularly.
Press the battery test button and check the posi
tion of the needle in the battery tester window.
If the needle reaches the blue zone, it means
the battery has sufficient power level. Otherwise,
replace the battery.

How to Adjust Eyepiece to Eyesight

Remove the lens cap and aim the camera in the

direction of a bright subject and look into the
viewfinder. Turn the eyepiece adjustment ring

and adjust so that the lines of the round prism

screen rangefinder can be seen most distinctly.
Then tighten the eyepiece fixing ring.

How to Set the Film Speed

The electric eye of Scoopic 16 is completely
coupled to the film speed, filming speed and

automatic aperture mechanism. Be sure to set
the film speed dial after loading film so as to

obtain the correct exposure. Set the film speed

dial to the click-position ASA/DIN index of the

film to be used.

4 The film speed dial is indicated in both ASA

and DIN indexes.

How to Set the Filming Speed Selector

The filming speed selector sets the number of
frames to be fed per second. Turn the filming
speed selector and set the desired filming speed
graduation to the index. 24 frames per second
is the standard filming speed for 16mm movie
cameras.

4 When shooting at 48 or 32 frames per second,
the motor consumes a considerable amount of
power and requires sufficient power level.

4 Do not turn the filming speed selector while
pressing the shutter release button.

4 The shutter opening angle is 135 degrees.

The relations between the number of frames per
second and the exposure time are as follows :

Frames per Second I 16 24
Exposure Time

4 The camera will function properly only at the

graduations on the filming speed selector.

4 Avoid operating the camera at high filming

speeds when film is not loaded.

Filming Speeds and Projection Effects

Film shot at filming speeds other than 24 frames
per second will have varying effects when pro
jected,

When shooting at high filming speeds of 48

I

or 32 frames per second, the projected pictures
will have a slow-motion effect. For example,
when a film is shot at 48 frames per second
and then projected at a standard 24 frames per
second, the projecting time will be lengthened
by two times, thereby slowing down the speed
of motion by one-half. High filming speed is,

thus, very effective when slowing down fast
moving subjects or when analyzing movements.
Exposure time is also speeded up and is, there
fore, effective for eliminating blurring during
panning,

When shooting at slow filming speed of 16

2

frames per second, the opposite effect of high
filming speed is obtained. In other words, by
dropping the filming speed the projected pictures
will have a fast-motion effect. This method is
used when stressing the movement of a subject.

when a realistic effect in the movement of a
distant subject is desired, or for humorous ef
fects. The slow filming speed is also used in
order to widen the proper exposure range for
overcoming under exposure conditions, that is,
when it is too dark for shooting at 24 frames
per second even at maximum aperture opening.

4 Avoid shooting subjects that show normal
movements when using the slow filming speed
for controlling exposure.

Master Switch

When the master switch is set at "OFF", the

electric eye circuit is disconnected and the shut

ter reiease button is locked. When the master

switch is turned to "AUTO”, the electric eye and

power circuits are connected and shooting with
automatic exposure control becomes possible. The
electric eye circuit will function when the shutter
release button is pushed in. When shooting with

manual aperture control for special effects, set
the switch at "MANU.". See page 23.

W

How to Hold the Camera

Firmly grasp the handgrip with the right hand.
The shutter release button is pressed with the
right thumb. Focusing, zooming and steadying
of the camera are performed with the left hand.
The camera should be held steady, especially
when shooting in telephoto or when zooming. The
use of a tripod is recommended in these cases.

Handstrap

Open the handstrap buckle and adjust the length
of the handstrap according to your hand.

Eyecup

The eyecup is of the revolving type and is re­volvable from left to right or vice versa. Adjust
it to fit your eye.

4 Do not take your eye away from the eyecup

during shooting. This is because, if strong light
shouid enter the viewfinder through the eyepiece,
the light will flow in reverse direction through
the viewfinder optical system and cause fogging
of the film.

Viewfinder

The viewfinder of'Scoopic 16 is of the single-lens
reflex type in which the field-of-view and the
picture frame are identical. Therefore, the pictures
can be composed within the maximum field-of­view. The following information is available in
side the viewfinder: exposure meter needle,
f/stop scale, over/under exposure warning marks
and prism screen rangefinder.

PS®

''(¡¿I

Zooming

When you wish to zoom or want to decide the
size of the subject in the picture area, turn the
zoom lens by using the zooming ring. The image
seen through the viewfinder will change in mag

nification and the field-of-view will also change.
The zoom lens eliminates the necessity of inter
changeable lenses or the turret and very effective
expressions become possible.

# The focal point does not change by turning

the zooming ring.

# When you wish to keep the subject always in
the center of the picture while zooming, fix the
camera in a stationary position, set the subject
in the center of the viewfinder at the maximum
focai length of 76mm, and focus. Zooming can
be performed from any desired focal length after
that.

f = 13mm

f = 76mm

19

Focusing

Look into the viewfinder and turn the focusing
ring until the image in the central prism screen
rangefinder can be seen most distinctly. The
aligned image can be seen more accurately and
easier the longer the focal length of the lens.
Therefore, first focus at the maximum focal
length of 76mm and then return the lens to the
desired magnification. The lens can be zoomed
to any focal length and still maintain a sharp-

focused image.

Checking the Exposure Meter Needle

Aim the camera at the subject and check the
position of the exposure meter needle inside the
viewfinder. When you siightly press the shutter
release button down approximately 1mm, the
electric eye circuit operates and the exposure
meter needle indicates the f/stop.

♦ The black dots in between indicate f/16, f/8,

f/4 and f/2 respectively.

lf the exposure meter needle is within the range

I

of the f/stop scale, you can press the shutter

release button down all the way and the film

will advance.

If the exposure meter needle points to the upper

2

red mark, it indicates over-exposure. Shoot
after attaching a neutral density filter to lower
the light intensity.

When the exposure meter needle points to the

3

lower red mark, it indicates under-exposure.
This condition must be corrected before shooting
by adding auxiliary light.

Shutter Release Button

Push the shutter release button all the way down
for film drive.

# When the shutter release button is pressed only
lightly, the operating sound of the electric eye
can be heard but the film will not advance.

4 Set the master switch at "OFF” when not shoot
ing. The battery will not be consumed even if
the switch is not set at "OFF”, but it is a pre
caution to prevent film drive when the shutter
release button is inadvertently pressed.

Lens Hood

Always use a lens hood. Better quality pictures
can be obtained because the lens hood cuts out
harmful light. There are two types of hoods —
use screw-in type filters in the case of the one
type and Series IX filters for the another.

Manual Control of Aperture

Observe the following procedures when shooting
with manually controlled aperture.

Set the master switch at “MANU.”. The letter

I

“M" will appear in the upper part of the view

finder.

Turn the aperture control ring and set the

2

exposure meter needle inside the viewfinder to

the desired f/stop.

4 The aperture control ring moves only when the

master switch is set at "MANU.”.

AUTO

' V

Zooming and focusing is performed in the same
manner as in electric eye operation.

23

Filters and Exposure Compensation

When using filters the exposure must be adjusted
according to the exposure factor of the filter to
be used.

Adjustment by Changing the Film Speed Dial
Setting

Divide the ASA index of the loaded film with the
exposure factor of the filter to be used. The figure
obtained is the ASA index of the film when the
filter is used. Therefore, set the film speed dial
to this ASA figure.
For example, when a Y3 (exposure factor 2) filter
is used with an ASA 100 film, the compensation
ASA number would be: 100^2 = 50. In other
words, the film speed dial should be reset at ASA
50,

24

Adjustment by Changing the f/Stop

Turn the master switch to ''MANU.". Adjust the
f/stop by turning the aperture control ring accord

ing to the exposure factor of the filter to be used.
The f/stop graduations are indicated in multiple.
Therefore, when using a filter with an exposure

factor of 2, the f/stop is increased by 1 gradua

tion. When the exposure factor is 4, it is increased
by 2 graduations.

Adjustment by Using Compensating Filter for
CdS Meter

When using an ND4 filter, a compensating ND 4

filter to be attached onto the CdS window is

available. In this case, there is no need to change
the film speed dial setting or the f/stop.

Filters

A wide variety of Canon Filters 72mm (screw-in
type) and Series IX are available. When using
filters, exposure time must be increased accord
ing to the exposure factor of the filter to be used.
A lens hood attachment screw is also available.

How to Load Film

Any standard 16mm, single or double perforated,

100-foot (30.5-meter) long film spool can be used.
Film is loaded by the semiautomatic loading sys
tem and can be easily performed once you know

how. Make a habit of loading film correctly, since
carelessness may cause racing or fogging of the
film.

4 As the film is wound naked around the reel,

always load film in the shade. An extra length of

leader Is attached to the film for protection
against the entry of light, but direct sunlight or

strong lighting may cause fogging of the film if
it is loosely wound.

Flip up the side cover latch, turn it in the direc

I

tion of the arrow and remove the side cover.

Place the film spool on the feeding spool shaft

2

as indicated by the diagram inside the camera.

# Some spools can be placed on the shaft only

when they are inserted in the correct direction.

27

Cut the tip of the film leader at a right angle,

3

using the built-in film cutter. Cut the tip of
the film leader in between the perforations by
matching a perforation and a pin on the cutter.

^ Set the filming speed selector at ‘'16” or ‘‘24”.

Insert the tip of the film leader into the film

5

insertion guide. Be careful to keep the film

tightly wound on the reel.

Be sure that the film holder on the feeding

6

spool shaft is at the proper position. Press the

shutter release button while pushing the film lea

der into the film insertion guide.

The film will automatically proceed through the
film guide and the aperture section and come out
from the bottom sprocket. Stop pressing the
shutter release button when 15 to 20cm of film
leader has passed through the bottom sprocket.

Have the take-up spool ready. Check and see

7

that the top side of the spool is facing upwards.

Bend the tip of the film leader towards the

8

emulsion side and insert into the take-up spool
as indicated by the diagram inside the camera.
Wind the film leader tightly 3 or 4 times around
the spool.

Place the take-up spool on the take-up spool

9

shaft.

4 Be sure to check that the pressure plate and
the film holder are in the normal positions and the
knobs are dropped in. (See the picture in the
following page.)

30

in Press the shutter release button, while press-

I U ing the film guide release pin (the film guide

is in open condition), and check to see that the

top and bottom film loops are uniform. About
one second, or 10 to 15cm, of film feed is suffi
cient.

Put the side cover back on, turn the film side

n

cover latch and flip it down.

4 The film holder on the take-up sprocket must

be at the correct position in order to close the side
cover properly.

10 Press the shutter release button and feed

the film until the footage counter moves from

“S" to "0”. Start shooting from "0” position.

Various Releases

As the various parts can be opened, they are
convenient for correcting an improperly loaded
film. Moreover, as the pressure plate can be
removed by unscrewing the tightening screw, it

is very convenient for removing the film or clean
ing the aperture section.

The film guide opens when the film guide release

I

pin is pressed and closes when the shutter

release button is pressed.

The film holder and the pressure plate open

2

when their respective release knobs are lifted

up.

31

How to Unload Film

Footage Counter

As shooting proceeds, the footage counter indica
tes the length of exposed film in feet. The
footage counter has graduations for every five
feet, starting from "O", and figures are inscribed
for every 20 feet. The "S” to "0” and "lOO"
to "F” portions are both lengths for leaders.
The footage counter automatically resets to "S”
when the side cover Is opened.

32

After the footage counter reaches "lOO”, continue
feeding the film until “F” and then unload the
film. Make certain that the film does not loosen

and put it into the film container. Send the ex
posed film to an authorized developing laboratory.

Close-Up Lenses

The 72mm Close-Up Lenses 2100 and 1100 are
available. 2100 and 1100 indicate the distances
in millimeters from the tip of the lenses to the
subject when the distance scales of the Close-Up
Lenses are set at infinity.

How to Use the External Battery Box

When the separately available External Battery
Box is used, approximately 16 reels, or double
the number of reels can be shot at normal tem
peratures than when using the single battery
loaded in the camera. This is because it is com
posed of two 12V nickel cadmium batteries in
parallel. The performance of the batteries drop
at temperatures of approximately 0°C (32°F) or
under. Stabilized photography is possible, how
ever, if the External Battery Box is kept warm by
the body temperature of the user.

Remove the battery loaded in the camera when

1

using the External Battery Box.

Plug the cord of the External Battery Box into

2

the external battery box socket on the back

side of the camera.

The power level for the external batteries are

3

checked with the battery tester in the same
manner as when checking the battery inside the
camera.

# Be sure to charge the two batteries simultane

ously with the Scoopic Battery Charger-S.

4 The External Battery Box has a hook so that

it can be conveniently hooked onto a waist belt.

Tape Recorder Starting Socket

The tape recorder starting socket is coupled to
the shutter release button. If the remote control
cord of a portable battery-powered tape recorder
is connected to this socket, the tape recorder
starts recording simultaneously with the shooting
of the camera for recording the sounds of the
surrounding to add more reaiism to the movie.
Acceptabie tape recorder: 24 v 0.3A max.

Cleaning the Aperture Section

It is important that the aperture section always
be kept clean. The aperture section (the section
where the film is held by the pressure plate),
through which the film passes, is liable to accu
mulate dust or grit from the film. If left alone,
these will scratch or soil subsequent reels of
film. The aperture section can be kept suffi
ciently clean with a brush. It is best to clean
this section whenever new film is loaded. Do not
use anything hard, such as a metal brush.
