Canon ZOOM 8-3 - Manual (Page 25)

FILM COUNTER CONTROL BUTTON
Every time the side cover of the camera is opened, the
FILM COUNTER INDICATOR automatically returns to
starting position "S". If, however, the CONTROL BUT­
TON is kept pressed down when opening the side cover,
the FILM COUNTER reoding remains in the same posi­
tion when the lid is closed This is useful when for any
reason it becomes necessary to open the cover to adjust
the film before the full length has been exposed. This
should be done in a dark room, otherwise the film will
be spoiled. For toking double exposure shots (overlaps)
this system can be used. By bock winding the required
length in a dark room, the same film could be exposed
again. In this case you con continue toking shots even
after the FILM COUNTER registers 25, for the some
length of film that was wound back, at 1 6 f.p.s..
ABOUT THE SPRING MOTOR
With one winding of the motor, approximately 600
frames (2.3m) of film can be exposed. A warning signal
sounds approximately 3 seconds or 50 frames (19cm)
before the motor runs down.
CABLE RELEASE ATTACHMENT HOLE
When shooting a cable
release is very useful for
single frame shot. If a
Cine Self-Timer is attach­
ed, you can also be in
the picture.
