SPECIAL USES
1° Macroclnematography
Without the special "Macro" system, you can film as close as
three feet from .any object.
But, closer than this, the new Macrocinematographic system of the
4008ZM2avoids the use of special lenses and extension tubes.
It makes it possible to film from distances of. 0 mm (transparent
slides, phototransparencles, etc.\ up to 1,50 m (in other words,
from 0.inch to five feet).
Operations to be performed before "macro" focussing:
- Fit the camera on its tripod .
.- Make certain the ground glass screen is positioned.
- Free the "Macro" slide by pressing on its end (37), and bring it
into low position in order to reach the greatest magnification
ratios (38).
- Set the zoom to "low speed".
- Set the master switch to "Manuel", so as to be able to open the
diaphragm to full aperture, by hand.
Note. - The position of the distance ring has only a very slight effect
on macro focussing (preferably set it at infinity).
According to the subject to be filmed, focussing is performed by
using:
- either the electric zoom switches;
- or the "macro" knob itself (more particularly when seeking
smaller magnification ratios);
- or by moving the camera towards or away from the subject.
