100/160 daylight/tungsten ASA
fil m speed combination, or the
universal (type G) ASA 160 film.
The camera also accepts regular
(silent) Super 8 film cartridges
having the same ASA speeds
I mportant: While handling
cartridge, avoid touching the
film. Moving film in either
aperture may cause the car-
tridge to jam, making it
unusable.
As the footage indi-
cator will continue to operate even
when the film is jammed, make
sure that the film advances prop-
erly by observing the "Film Move-
ment Indicator" described below.
*When silent cartridges are used, the
camera will run slightly faster, at approxi-
mately 20 frames-per-second.
FILM MOVEMENT INDICATOR
A fast or slow flickering in the
fil m movement indicator above
the viewfinder image (shown in
Fig. 8)
indicates that the film is
advancing properly. If the flicker-
ing does not start, or stops before
the end of the film is reached, the
cartridge may be defective and
should be replaced.
FOOTAGE INDICATOR
The needle in the footage indi-
cator shows how many feet
(yellow figures) or meters (white
figures) of film have been ex-
posed. All the film in the car-
tridge has been exposed when
the needle reaches 50 (feet) and
15 (meters).
FILM END SIGNAL
When almost all the film in the
cartridge has been used, a red
signal appears at the top of the
fil m movement indicator in the
viewfinder (shown in
Fig. 8).
The
red area extends gradually. All
the film has been exposed when
the entire circle is covered and
the film advance indicator stops
flickering.
