Reverse Filming Operation

■Reverse filming not only makes fascinating cinematography possible but it

also achieves a number of speciai effects that would be impossible when

filmed in the normai way.

1. Cover the lens with a lens cap or close the shutter opening with the

shutter blade opening control.

2. Depress the trigger while maintaining the FE control in the forward

position. Winding stops automatically (in about 5.5 sec. at 18 fps).

3. Set the REW/FOW switch to the REW position.

4. Reverse the operation performed in step 1 by either removing the lens cap

or fully opening the shutter.

5. Depressing the trigger performs reverse filming. Filming automatically

stops at the exact position where winding began (at 18 fps; 5.5 sec.).

6. Replace the lens cap or reclose the shutter opening.

7. Set the REW/FOW switch to the FOW position.

8. Depress the trigger to wind back the film sequence (at 18 fps: 5.5 sec.).

(To prevent undesired double exposures at the end of the reverse action

sequence, rewinding should be performed for a period longer than the

already exposed frames; rewind for more than 100 frames and edit the

unexposed film after development.) After rewinding, resume normal

filming by either removing the lens cap or fully open the shutter.

Note; Although the 100-framc reverse filming sequence is performed automatically, it

can be shortened to less than 100 frames by releasing your hold on the trigger before the

filming automatically stops.

Caution: Do not perform reverse filming when the footage counter needle Is within the

first and last 5-foot zones and at a film speed of 54 fps.
