THE Mk2 CAMERA INTERIOR
One of the main differences between the interior of the
COMPACT and the COMPACT Mk2 camera is the
introduction of two guide rollers, one placed above and
one located bellow the movement. These rollers
[R1]
and
[R2]
have been added in order to guarantee the
smooth film transport to all frame rates with both 3-Perf
and 4-Perf pull-down movements.
THE Mk2 MOVEMENTS
Either a 3-Perf or a 4-Perf pull-down Movement can
be installed by trained maintenance technicians in the
MOVIECAM Mk2 Camera Body. Both Movements
are fitted with similar operational items. By turning the
Movement Locking Lever
[J]
clockwise, the Movement
will slide back into the loading position. By turning the
lever counter-clockwise, the Movement Block slides for-
ward to the Aperture Plate and finally locks in place.
Caution!
• Before sliding the Movement to the loading
position, turn the Inching knob until the index is
in the Loop position.
• In order to secure the Movement in its shooting
position, push the lever counter-clockwise to
overcome a mechanical resistance with a click,
which will hold the movement firmly in this front
shooting position.
• In order to perform well, the Movement have
always to be adjusted as quite as possible,
independently from the shooting direction FWD
or REV.
