CCA HIter Switch
A Super 8 camera is designed to be able to shoot

in daylight conditions when tungsten film is

loaded. Tungsten film is designed to be used in

artificial lighting. When this film is used in
daylight, a CCA filter is necessary to correct the
color balance or the film may have a bluish tinge.

The camera has a built-in CCA filter which is

controlled by the CCA filter switch.

When

filming with tungsten film in daylight or with
artificial lighting which has the same color

temperature as daylight, this switch should

be set to the position of the sun symbol

. At this position the CCA filter is in place.

When filming with tungsten film in artificial

tungsten lighting, push the switch down

while pressing in the filter switch lock but­
ton.

This sets the switch to a bulb symbol

Q

which indicates that the filter has been moved

out of the optical path. To reset the switch to

the sun symbol for daylight filming, simply push

it back up.

The switch may be in either

position when daylight (Type G) film is

loaded.
