End of shooting and removing the film cartridge
A Super 8 cartridge contains 50 feet of film running one way . With
this camera, when 47.5 feet of film have been exposed, an orange caution
lamp lights up at the bottom of the viewfinder to show that after 2 .5 feet
film will end. When the film end caution lamp lights up, take note of how
much film remains and run it the full 50 feet. Then open the rear cover imd
remove the film cartridge.
• When removing the cartridge , pull the lever under the cartridge guide and
you will be able to take it out quite easily .
• When the full 50 feet of film have been exposed and film has stopped
running, you will notice the change of the running sound heard before.
Confirm it by means of the footage counter.
• The exposed film has a cut-out on its perforations and is easily
distinguished from the unexposed one.
• Send the exposed film promptly to an authorized processor.

Changing film halfway
A Super 8 movie camera uses a cartridge and you can exchange
cartridges of different types of film even when a cartridge is only halfway.
By exchanging the cartridges halfway, you lose only 2 inches of film or
less, includi ng behind and before the naked part of film in the exposure
window of cartridge.
Precautions to take when changing the cartridges halfway.
• To prevent the last scene from undesired exposure, run the film vacantly
a little before changing the cartridge.
• When you change cartridges the footage counter automatically resets at
"0". So we advise you to read the footage counter before removing and
write it down on the removed cartridge as a reminder.
• The f il m end caution lamp is combined to the footage counter and does
not turn on if a half-used cartridge is loaded. Confirm the f i lm end with the
footage counter or the film driving sound.
