Basic Guide to using a Super 8 Cine Camera
Identifying the Super 8 Format
One way to recognize a super 8 camera is to look into the film compartment.
Super 8 cameras use only super 8 film that is packed in a rectangular
cartridge.
Super 8 (above)
Not to be confused with the single 8 format, that has a different kind of
cartridge (higher and more narrow with rounded B-shaped back). There are
two pins for cassette reels in single 8 and regular 8 cameras; super 8 has only
one in the middle of the rectangular film compartment.
