RUNNING SPEED CONTROL
•
The camera can be set to run at 18,
24 or 54 frames per second (fps) plus
single frame (SF). Depress the lock
release button and turn the running
speed control dial until the desired
speed clicks into place opposite the
white line. Exposure compensation
for the selected speed is automatic.
Do not set the camera for inter¬
mediate speeds between the click-
stop settings. Avoid the excessive use
and dry run of the camera at 54 fps.
Single-Frame Shooting
With single-frame exposures you can
make inanimate obiects come alive
on the screen. Just move the object
you are filming a fraction of an inch
after each exposure. Single-frame ex¬
posures of slow-moving objects, such
as clouds, will be speeded up greatly
when projected. For example, if you
film at 1 fps and project at 18 fps,
objects will appear to move 18 times
their actual speed. The automatic
exposure control retains its function.
For single-frame shooting, the use of
a tripod and a cable release is recom¬
mended.
Remember to close the
eyepiece shutter control to prevent
stray light from entering the eye¬
piece.
Note: Battery, life Is greatly shortened
when
shooting In single-frame mode;
Instead of the normal battery life of 15
film cartridges (at ISfps), batteries last for
only two or three cartridges In SF.
The 18 fps is usually recommended,
though some photographers prefer
24 fps since the higher speed tends to
give smoother, less bouncy images
when projected. The 54 fps can be
used for occasional slow-motion ef¬
fects.
