Kodak super 8 movie films
Your
camera
uses
sound
or
silent car-
tridges
of
movie film with
speeds
of
ASA
40 or
ASA
160.
(A
notch in the
cartridge automatically adjusts the
cam-
era
for the
appropriate
speed.) For day-
light illumination, these
speeds are
re-
duced to
ASA
25 or
ASA
100 by
a
filter
built
into
your
camera.
For regular light
bulbs (tungsten illumination) the built-
in filter
can
be moved out
of
position
manually,
or automatically
by inserting
a
movie light into the
slot
on top of the
camera.
Select a
film from the table for the
conditions
under which
you
will be
making
movies.
(The table
gives exam-
ples
of
different light sources.)
If you have
a sound
cartridge in the
camera
and
wish to add
sound
later
(with
a
projector capable of recording
sound), simply
unplug the microphone
from
the
camera.
If you use
a
cartridge
of silent
movie film, the recording mech-
anism
in
your camera will
not be
acti-
vated.
If you decide later to
add a sound
background,
a sound stripe such
as the
KODAK SONOTRACK
Coating
can
be
added
to
your silent
film.
~fowever,
it will cost
more than if you use
a sound
cartridge
initially.
Don't
carry
unwrapped, unexposed
film
cartridges
in your pocket
or
purse,
because dust may
accumulate on
the
film and appear as
black
specks
on
your
movies.
Before
making any especially
impor-
tant
movies-
on a
trip or at
some special
event-
expose a
cartridge of film
and
check
the results. This will
give
you
practice in
camera
operation
and
will
provide
a check
on your
equipment.
If
you have
any
questions, your photo
dealer will be
glad
to help.

If you're not
sure
of the type
of
light, set
the switch to "
o
Qc."
If more than one kind
of
light
exists
in a
scene, set
the filter
switch
for the predominant light
source.
In
some situations
the use
of
the
ca
mera
filter is
a
matter
of
personal taste. Mov-
ies made
with
the
filter
switch at "

"
will
appear
"warmer,"
or
more red-yel-
low, than those made
without
the filter.
If in doubt,
set
the filter switch to
"
oi:ic.
"
IMPORTANT:
Store your camera
and film
away
from heat
and
direct
sunlight-never in the
glove
com-
partment, on the
rear-window
shelf,
or in any
other
"hot
spot"
in
a
car.
