ABOUT THIS .PDF DOCUMENT
This document was created in June of 1999 on a crappy Radius 8100/110 Macintosh clone. All items
were scanned on a lousy UMax Astra 1220S scanner. Text was OCR’ed with Omnipage Pro 8.0.
Adobe Photoshop 5.0.1 was used in the scanning of the images and they were done as 150 d.p.i.
TIFFs. PageMaker 6.5 was used to assemble the elements. Adobe Acrobat 4.0 was used to imbed
the index links and compress the images.
This .pdf document attempts to recreate the original lame-ass layout of the original ACL manual that
came with my camera. If you printed this puppy out on slightly yellow, musty paper, you’d basically
have something that looks (and smells) like an original. All pictures and data were included.
The person responabile for this documents creation was:
Eric Bickernicks
Some e-mail addresses he can be contacted at: (as of June ‘99)
This document most likely originated from this website:

I don’t claim any copyright on the data within this document. Hopefully I won’t be getting flamed by
some pissed-off French guys somewhere who had something to do with the original manufacturing of
this camera. Do whatever you want with this document. (Here’s something fun you could do: at
times, certain people on www.ebay.com attempt to sell COPIES of Eclair ACL manuals online. Send
them this .pdf document and tell them to fuck off.) :-)
I believe this manual came from the original series of cameras. (Eclair ACL I’s as they are some-
times known.) Eclair made some improvements on the camera later on in the manufacturing. (Up-
graded the motor, used ‘400 reels. These are sometimes known as ACL II’s.) If anyone has access
to one of these later manuals with the additional features to the camera, I’d love to create another .pdf
document from that. Please give me a shout.
I also wouldn’t mind doing a .pdf on the Eclair NPR camera. If anyone has one of these manuals,
give me yell.
