Hand Cranking - BOLEX H16 REFLEX Instruction Manual

Hand cranking.
The mechanism of the H 16 Reflex
camera can operate in reverse as well as forward
motion by means of a small auxiliary crank. The spool
can thus be fully rewound and a partly exposed film
removed from the camera. This is particularly useful
for special effects, such as lap dissolves, double expo-
sures and trick effects.
To rewind the film:
1. Disengage the motor by moving lever (1) to O. If you
feel a slight resistance towards the end, do not
force the lever but press the front release while
continuing to move the lever.
2. Move the side release (2) to M (continuous filming).
3.
Close the variable shutter
by lowering lever (3)
so as not to fog the film (see page 20).
4. Turn the hand crank (4) in the direction of the
engraved arrow but do not try to rewind the film
faster than allowed by the speed governor.
To resume normal motor-driven operation, move the
side release to STOP and the disengaging lever to
MOT.
Do not forget to re-open the variable shutter.
Important.
The reverse system is designed for
rewinding only and should not be used for filming.
