When the adjustment is complete, remove the tool and store back in
the hollow of the carrying handle.
2.4 FILM GATE AND PULLDOWN CLAW
2.4.1 Adjusting the Pitch
To adjust the pitch, use the tool (Ref 09.203.65) located at the rear
of the camera carrying handle.
Looking at the camera with the lens port facing you, locate the
small opening situated between the two camera front rods, closer to
the left rod. Using the tool, you can undo the Allen screw retaining
the opening cover. Insert the tool inside the opening. You will "feel"
a screw that you will turn counter-clockwise until it stops. The leng-
th of the pulldown is now at its maximum.
Put the loaded magazine on the camera, and keeping the tool in
position, inch and run the camera. The camera will run with a "clic-
king noise", due to the perf being hit by the claw. Turn the tool
clockwise until you reach a more pleasant noise, like a loud "pur-
ring". If you go too far, you will hear one "clack" noise indicating
that the claw lost a perforation. If more than one "clack" is heard,
the camera display will show "LOOP".
Once you reach the proper setting, it is recommended to turn the
tool counterclockwise, approximately 20º, to accomodate any varia-
tion of the film pitch that occures between different film stocks or
under humid or hotweather conditions. To do this adjustment, use
the film stock you are most likely to use.
2.4.2 The Side Pressure Bar
The film gate also features a side pressure bar which is recessed into
the claw-side rail at the point of image exposure to insure maximum
lateral stability.
