FILM FOR THE YASHICA 8T2
Your Yashica 8T2 uses a 25 foot length of standard double8 film loaded on a light tight spool. Double-8 is supplied
in double width (16mm wide), and run through the camera
twice. The first time, one half-width is exposed. Then
you invert the spool, and run it through the camera again
to expose the other half-width.
When you send the film to the processing laboratory, it
is de'leloped, then split into two strips, each 8mm wide, as shown at right
The two
8mm strips are spliced end-to-end, so that you receive one conlinuous 50-foot reel of
film for projection. At the standard speed frames of 16 frames-per-second, this 50-foot
reel will run for just over four minutes through your movie projector. You can, and proba'bly
will, splice several reels fogether to provide you with a longer, uninterrupted run.

Clean the glass surfaces very rarely. Use 0 small drop of water only and 0 reliable grade of

Keep lens cops on when lenses are not in use. When mounted on the camera, keep lens cop on
until shooting begins.
APERTURE
The lens aperture ring setting, of f: str p, depends
on light conditions. The exposure guide packed
,rh your
film teils you the correct f: stop. A convenient exposure
guide for color film with an ASA film speed of 10 is printed
on the YASHICA MOVIE. For example, with color film in
direct sunlight
the guide
suggests f:8.
If it is cloudy
the
guide teils you to open up to f:5.6.
Note;
The largest f: stop is f: 1.4 and the smallest f: stop is
f: 16, the highest number on the lens aperture ring.
FOCUSING
The focusing ring permits you to adiust the
lens for any subiect distance. If you set it to 4 obiects 4
feet away will be sharp. But obiects before and after 4
feet will also be sharp. For example, at an aperture of
f:8, all between 2 feet and inflnity (very far away) will be
sharp. If because of dim light you opened the lens aperture
to fA, the sharpness zone would be from about 2 tfeet to
9 feet
Here is a focus rufe of thumb for most occassions:
If your subject is nearby set focusing ring at 4.
If your subject is far awey set it to 20.
Be sure to consult the depth-of-fleld table on page
gain a more complete idea of zone-of-sharpness.

THE D-MOUNT
The lens-l'!1ount for the Yashica Movie Camer.a is called a
D-mount and is designed on international standards.
Therefore, aside from all Yashinon D-mounts, any D-mount lens can
be attached to the Yashica Movie Camera.
The turret of the Yashica Movie enables
you to have two enses ready for use at
oll times. The upper position is the "taking"
position, the bottom, the standby position.
To use the standby lens, grasp both
lenses and rotate the turret until thE;
standby lens snaps into "ta king POSition.
