How to Expose the Film Correctly:
The Spinner Motorizer is specially designed for low-light situations, for example indoor/in
shadow. The relative shutter speed of the Spinner Motorizer is 1/4 second. That means:
- If you are using ISO 400 film, f/8 (cloudy aperture), your film will exposure correctly under
LV6 -- ordinary indoor situations.
- If you are using ISO 100 film, f/16 (sunny aperture, your film will exposure correctly under
LV10 -- outdoor shadow situation.
To make it simple:
- Use ISO400 or higher sensitivity film if you want to shoot indoors or in very dim situations
e.g. night shots.
- Use ISO100 or lower sensitivity film if you are shooting outdoor shadows during daytime.
When in sunny conditions, it's recommended that you use your original Spinner 360° handle,
as this is perfectly designed for daytime shooting.
In case you want to shoot in sunny weather with the Spinner Motorizer, you may buy a
52mm ND filter and place it in front of the Camera Lens <19> for best result.
Rewinding the Film:
1. Switch the Aperture Setting
<18>
to “R” (“R” stands for rewind mode).
2. Detach the Rubber Band
<11>
from the camera. (Optional)
3. Wind the Rewind Crank
<15>
clockwise until the pressure slackens. Don’t stop turning
until you feel the tension completely drop off. Only then you can make sure that your film is
safely stored in its container.
4. Now open the camera’s Rear Door
<13>
by pulling down the Door Lock
<14>,
pull up the
Rewind Crank
<15>
and take your film out.
5. Insert a new film, set the Aperture
<18>
back to “sunny” or “cloudy” and re-attach the
Rubber Ring
<11>
to the camera if it has been detached.
Working Distance:
- The Spinner Motorizer works up to a remote distance of around 5-8m in an unobstructed
area without interference (e.g. somewhere with heavy density metal around).
Using More Than One Spinner Motorizer:
- One Spinner Remote Control is able to control more than one Spinner Motorizer at the same
time, as long as they are all in working distance. This opens up a lot of creative possibilities
for you to experiment with!
