CANON CHE ZOOM
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
When the eye is off the viewfinder during
the filming, for titling or single-frame photo­
graphy, as well as panning photography with
the use of the tripod, always remember to
bar the entry of any strong light into the
eyepiece when the shutter is pressed.
When a very strong light hits the eyepiece,
there are cases of the viewfinder’s light
reflecting section being pierced and a
"ghost" reflection will appear on the film.
CLEANING THE FILM GATE
When taking pictures, fully charge the
spring motor.
Avoid
failures during the take. Make it a
habit to always keep the motor in full charge
condition. During long takes, the spring
motor may become fully exhausted. In such
a case, it will stop while the shutter is open
and the last frame may be wastefully
exposed.
STORING THE CAMERA
Keep the camera away from dampness, heat,
and dust.
When storing, do not place the
camera near naphthalene or camphor. While
it is not necessary to oil any part of the
camera, a periodic overhaul and cleaning
will prolong its life.
SAFETY LOCK
When storing the camera in the case, turn
the safety lock of the shutter to L. If there
is a grip, also lock the safety lock lever of
the grip.
