camera will be switched to manual exposure
control.

Setting the Filming Speed

Normally, the camera is set at 18 fps. as this is

the standard speed for Super 8 movies.

Changing the speed to 9 fps., is used to speed up

the subject's motion. This speed is also used to

compensate for under-exposure of a still subject
in dim light. Single frame shooting is used for
purposes like animation photography which is
single frame shooting that gives a feeling of

motion.
