Kodak K100 Operating Instructions

CINE-KODAK

• This instruction manual is for the Cine-
Kodak K-I00 Camera and the Turret Model.

On the turret model you can mount three
picture-taking lenses with matching view-
finder lenses - thus allowing you to change
quickly from wide-angle to medium to tele-
photo shots. The Cine-Kodak ~-100 Camera
has a single taking lens and viewfinder lens.
Any of the lenses, Ifimm to I52mm with C
mounts, can be used. The cameras use either
single- or double-perforated Ifimm film.

Movies are more than just pictures. Mere-
ly following the rules for proper camera op-
eration will produce technically acceptable
pictures. Add to this imagination and artis-
tic effort and your pictures become good
movies - movies that you will be proud to
show and that your friends will really enjoy
seeing.

Simple instructions are given on the next
6 pages. For more detailed information, read
further in the manual.

Before making any important pictures, it
