3 Set the filming speed.
The standard filming speed for Super 8 movie is 18 fps and the
movement of the subject will then look most natural when projected.
• Turn the filming speed dial to 18. Make sure that the index is correctly
set toward the number.
• When projecting the film shot at 24 fps, motion is 1.3 times slower than
when taken at the standard 18 fps. Use 24 fps for the following effects.
■ Making standard sound film
■ Slowing down the motion
■ Lengthening the zooming time
■ Avoiding blur while panning
The slow-motion shooting mechanism is built in.
This is especially useful for analyzing fast moving animals or sport events.
• The instant slow-motion is shot at approximately 54 fps. When the
instant slow-motion switch is pressed while shooting, the speed of the
film will suddenly change to slow-motion shooting.
If you want slow-motion pictures from the start, press down the switch
first, then pull the trigger. To stop it. release the trigger first, then the
slow-motion switch.
• The instant slow-motion switch works only when it is pressed down. Be
careful not to release it during slow-motion shooting.
• The instant slow-motion switch should be pressed down quickly. If it is
pressed slowly, several frames may not be correctly exposed.
The instant slow-motion switch is useless in single frame shooting, and if it
is pressed the frame shall be over-exposed.
• The movement of slow-motion shooting when projected is about three
times as slow as the ordinary one. Use it in the following cases:
■ To avoid blurs during panning or while you are moving.
■ To slow down the motion
Single frame shooting is explained in detail in page 31.
