Main Features
• World's First 16mm Movie Camera Incorporating
Zoom Lens with Macro Mechanism
The Scoopic 16M is the world's first 16mm movie
camera having a built-in zoom lens with macro
mechanism. The zoom lens has a focal length of 12.5 to
75mm (‘/
2
"— 3"), a zoom ratio of 6:1. The lens
T number is a fast T2.5 (FI .8).
T-stop means how much of the light entering the front
actually reaches the film plane. Since some light is
diverted both to CdS window for EE mechanism and to
viewfinder, the eventual T/stop comes to T2.5 in case of
12.5—75mm FI .8 built in this camera.
• CdS Electric Eye Mechanism
Shooting with accurate exposure is always assured by
the built-in automatic aperture mechanism coupled to
the electric eye circuit using a supersensitive CdS cell.
The finder features an exposure meter indicating needle.
Provision is made for either fully automatic or manual
electric eye metering.
• Powerful NiCd Battery
The film drive motor and EE circuit operate on a
rechargeable Canon NiCd battery. It can be recharged
more than 100 times. One charge allows shooting for
about sixteen 100-foot spools at 24fps. It is fully
recharged in 3.5 hours with the exclusive battery charger.
