It is necessary to use the douser when
doing pixilation with a strong light behind the
camera. The douser is open when the lever
is in the horizontal position; closed in the
vertical position.
Turret
By turning the turret you can change from
one lens to another. To turn the turret, use
its fold away lever rather than handling
the lenses. In this way, there is less risk of
accidentally changing the aperture and/or
focus ring. When using heavy lenses, such
as telephotos or zooms, the turret should be
locked with either a special locking clamp
or a turret plug. Turret plugs go into the
lowest lens cavity (when turret is on normal
position); they are marked with a red ring.
For other lighter lenses, the turret lock on
the camera should be sufficient. This lock is
located above the lens in the taking position
and should be tighten before the lenses are
in place. Keep the wide-angle lenses and
telephoto lens opposite of each other on the
turret so the telephoto lens doesnʼt interfere
with the field of view of the wide-angle lens.
Filters
The H16 camera has a filter between the
taking lens position and the reflex prism. The
filters therefore remain in place no matter
which lens is used. When filming without a
filter, an empty filter carrier should be left in
the filter slot to prevent light from entering
the slot and fogging the film. Make sure the
carrier is located firmly within the slot and
the correct filter is in place before shooting.
An incorrect filter will either alter the color
balance or exposure.
