low-key shooting and fadings
Any
desired
f
/stop
can
be
obtained
simply
by turning
aperture
control
ring.
Fade-ins
and
fade-outs
are
possible
because
aperture
diaphragms
are
completely
closed.
Wide choice of filming
speeds
For high speed
shooting
of
36
fps,
set dial
at "SLOW
MO·
TION".
For
standard
sound film,
set
at
"24",
and for normal
shooting,
set
at
"18".
The
advantage
of
slow
motion
and
24 fps
shooting
is that careful
analysis
of
fast-moving
action
is
possible,
such
as athletic
events,
racing
events,
and
when-
ever blur-free
panning
is
required.
Film titles,
animation
film-
ing and
time sequence
shooting
are
accomplished
by using the
camera's
single
frame action.
