when needed.
5. Brush your Camera Gate
Use a child's toothbrush to gently clean the camera gate to avoid hair in your images. A couple of swipes
before each roll is all it takes to save some clean memories.
6. Movie Film
Super 8 is movie film, so some of the best images are going to be of things that move. Look for action
and movement when filming.
7.The 5 Second Rule
A good shot lasts about 5 seconds long. This means you have approximately 40 good shots on your roll
of film. When you pull the trigger, count to 5 so you know you're not over or under shooting each shot.
8. Tell a Story
The best movies go beyond the images to tell a story. Start with an opening shot, capture action, try
close-up and wide shots, and don't forget a good ending!
Proper Storage
It is highly recommended to remove the AA batteries whenever the camera will not be in use for a
period of 2 or more days. This prevents unnecessary power drainage and leakage in the compartments,
which can damage the camera. Store the camera in a cool, dry place. Do not leave the camera or film in
extremely high temperatures; this can damage the camera and film.
Service And Repairs
This should only be performed by a trained technician who understands all the parts
of the camera. For more information contact Pro8mm.
