e Do mt move the camera too rapidly in any direction, particularly
vertically. Use of a tripod is recommended.
e Panning shots are usually started from subjects of less importance and
move on to the most important subject where it ends by running the film
longer on the last sequence.
End of the shooting and removing the film cartridge
О A Super B cartridge contains 50 feet of film dl dre way running. With
this comers, when 47.5 feet ot the film has been exposed, an orange
caution lamp lights up at the bottom of the viewfinder to notice that the

s In manual aperture control of flash pictures, it is recommended to select
the aperture between 1/5,6 and 1/11 by adjusting the lighting intensity, and
to take distance of more than 1 m from the flash to the subject. Then you
will get excellent result.
Variable Shutter Control
The shutter of an Bm movie camara is combined to the film advance. The
exposure is decided by the rotation of two semicircular leaves with a given
angle, In ong rotation, one frame 15 £xposed and advanced in combination,
That is, when the opan part of the leaves faces the aperture gate the film
stops for exposure, and when the leaves shut the aperture gate the film
advances. Therefore the exposure is changed according to the rotation
speed and the open angle of the leaves. The rotation speed equals to the
filming speed. And the open angle of the leaves 15 called variable shutter
angle. This camera has a built-in mechanism to control the shutter angle,
with which you can control the exposures on tha film. And you can also
perform the fading techniques with it.
Adjusting the Exposure with the Variable
Shutter Gontrol
The filming speed of an Bmm movie camara can not be changed at will,
because the Tilming speed of an 8mm movie camera is normally decided to
equal to the projection speed of a projector, Therefore the exposure of an
8mm movie camera is generally controlled by the aperture control. Than
tha variable shutter is developed to control the exposure with tha shutter
itsalf as well as with the aperture. That ig, the exposure 1$ adjusted by
means of the shutter angle at thi Same filming sped,
In the Canon Auto Zoom 814 Electronic, the shutter angle is variable from
1507 to 0” continuously, A four-step scale is marked on the body to
make the exposure control and fading techniques easier,
In ordinary shooting the variable shutter control is set at "OPEN". Whan in
noed the exposure can be controlled by rotating the variable shutter
control fing as much as required toward the “CLOSE” position,

Fading Effects
FADE-OUT
By rotating the variable shutter control ring from "OPEN" to “CLOSE”
while running the film, the shutter angle becomes narrower and the
exposure quté lowered accordingly and the scene disolves gradually into the
complete darkness at CLOSE , Mis effect is called В fade-out,
When you continuously rotate the control ring to “STOP”, the film stops
automatically 16 prevent from running in vain though the trigger 13 still
pulled.
FADE-IMN
By rotating the variable shutter control ring from “STOP” through
“CLOSE” to "OPEN" gradually while pulling the trigger, incoming light
gradually increases, and fade-in technique can be performed.
« Thé fading techniques are very important on changing the scenes, on the
introduction of a soñé, or ón giving añ dnd to a scene in thé Môviés, Thé
fade-in is generally used at the introduction of the whole film and the
fade-out at the end. When the fading effects are used in the middle of a
movie, they describe à great change of the scenes or a long Time passing. 50
these techniques should not be used 40 often. IA general, a fadíin, drá
fade-out in changing the scenis is acdvisable to be within 2 to 3 seconds, and
at the introduction or at the end to be within 4 10 6 seconds.
