Canon ZOOM 8-3 - Manual (Page 14)

EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT
EXPOSURE LEVER, CONTINUOUS RUNNING and SINGLE
FRAME EXPOSURE.
For continuous running, set the EXPOSURE LEVER CON­
TROL to "R". With the control point­
ed at "R" and the EXPOSURE LEVER
pressed down, continuous running
shots can be taken. When the con­
trol is placed at "1", single frame
picture can be taken by pushing up
the EXPOSURE LEVER. In both cases,
shutter can not be operated if the
EXPOSURE LEVER SAFETY LOCK is
locked.
FILMING DIAL
The SPEED DIAL indicates the number
of frames exposed per second. By
rotating this dial, the speed can be
adjusted to 8, 1 2, 1 6, 24, 32, 48,
or 64 frames per second.
Correct speeds are not always pro­
portionally obtained at any in-be­
tween speeds settings, therefore care
should be taken in setting the dial.
FILMING SPEED
16 frames per second is the speed used for normal
purposes. The speed is increased when taking pictures
of moving trains and vehicles or other high speed or
fast actions subjects. A higher speed would be used,
for instance, to take shots of birds in flight or to pro­
duce slow-motion effects of sports action.
