MAIN FEATURES OF CANON AUTO ZOOM 814
Eight-Times Zooming on Large Picture Area
The Canon Auto Zoom 814 is the latest 8mm
movie camera that can bring out the qualities of
the Super 8 film to their highest degree. Picture
area of the Super 8 film is 509% larger than regu-
lar 8mm film. This film has superb reproduction
qualitiesclosely approaching thatofa 16mm movie.
The combination of the lens speed of F 1.4 and
1:8 zoom ratio is one of the most outstanding
in the world. The Auto Zoom 814, capable of
complete zooming from wide-angle to ultra-tele-
photo, is an ideal movie camera to take along on
picnics, mountain climbing and overseas trips.
Easy Film Loading
Just slip in the entire Super 8 cartridge which
holds a continuous 50-foot length of film. No
threading or re-loading are necessary. The film
speed is automatically set when the cartridge is
slipped into the camera.
Built-in CCA Filter
A CCA filter, for converting the color temperature
of tungsten type film used in daylight, has been
built into the optical system. When shooting
under artificial light, the filter can be canceled by
the CCA filter switch. When using daylight type
film from the beginning, the filter is automatically
canceled with the insertion of the cartridge.
Power Zooming and Film Drive
Four 1.5v penlight batteries power the high per-
formance built-in micromotors. Especially, power
ZOOMINE gives -8 zoom ratio ¡ts greatest
effectiveness and brings variation into your
movies.
TTL Type Electric Eye
The electric eye accurately measures the light
according to the angle-of-view of the lens, regard-
less of the zooming range, because of the TTL
system in which the CdS meter is positioned on
the back side of the lens system. The TTL system
also eliminates the necessity of exposure factor
compensation when using filters.
Photography by Manual Operation
The aperture can be operated manually by shift-
ing the auto-manual switch to “MANUAL”. Fade-
ins and fade-outs are possible by the aperture con-
trol ring. And with the combined use of an ND
filter, fade time time can be adjusted.
The Auto Zoom 814 is also equipped with other
features necessary for advanced 8mm movie mak-
ing, such as, running lock, remote control and
footage counter. Filming speeds include 12, 18
and 24 fps and single frame.

FADING TECHNIQUES
With Canon Auto Zoom 814, you can perform
fading techniques in either EE or manual opera-
tions by turning the aperture control ring. Fadings
are used to show the elapse of time or a change
in scene, for instance, when the scene on the
stage changes at the end of a theme.
Fade-In
Eirst set the orange line on the aperture control
ring at “C”” and gradually bring the ring down. As
the ring reached the bottom, i. e., when the black
line on the ring reaches 0", the aperture takes
Fade-Out
Gradually close the aperture by turning up the
aperture control ring to the “C” side whlie shoot-
ing. The picture gradually fades as there is pro-
gressive under-exposure until there is no exposure
at all. The picture will completely fade-out as the
ring reaches the top and the aperture is completely
closed.
® Fading times of 1—1.5 sec. for a fast changing
scene, and 2—3 sec. for a slower changing scene
are advisable.
Use ND Filter Under Bright Conditions
The use of a neutral density filter E recommend:
ed_under very bright co conditiens or under excess
„теч ке р-ка EE
light. Under these conditions, t the aperture will
close down to f/16 or f/22, and it makes very little
difference with the completely closed aperture, and
so fadings will be performed too rapidly. If the
light intensity is lowered, with the use of the ND
filter, the aperture opening or closing can be per-
formed more slowly and smoothly Canon ND
filters are available in two types, 4X and 8X

CONTROLLING THE WORKING
RANGE OF ELECTRIC EYE
In EE operation, the working range of the electric
eye can be controlled so as to perform panning
effectively under conditions of extremely bright
and dark contrast. The darkness of the dark part
is more emphasized while giving the proper ex-
posure on the bright part. It is ideal for panning
in a dark room with a spotlighted subject or for
panning when including a counter-light part.
By turning the aperture control ring towards “C”'
the electric eye can be controlled to function only
on the smaller aperture opening side than the set
aperture stop. For instance, if the aperture is set
at f/4, the electric eye will function only on the
smaller aperture opening side than f/4, i.e., f/4 —

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MANUAL
APERTURE OPERATION
Photography by manual operation is possible by
setting the auto-manual switch at "MANUAL". In
manual operation, any desired aperture stop can
be set by turning the aperture control ring while
looking at the aperture scale inside the viewfinder.
Use this method when shooting against the light
or when you wish 'to stress high-key or low-key j
effects.

when ordinary bulbs are used.
® When using daylight type film, the CCA filter
switch is so designed that it cannot be pushed

THREE-WAY SWITCH
The three-way switch has three positions of “OFF”,
“R and “RC-RL”.
1. "OFF" is the position where the power circuit
is cut off and the exposure meter, power zoom
and shutter release do not function.
2. ‘‘R’’ is where the power circuit is switched on
3. “RC-RL" is where the running lock and remote
control function.
¿y Running Lock
When the three-way switch is turned from
“R' to “RC-RL'', while pressing the shutter lever,
the lever becomes locked for continued running
until the switch is returned to “R”' position allow-

PROPER CARE OF THE CAMERA
. Do not put fingerprints and other stains on the
zoom lens. Wipe gently with silicon cloth when
removing stains and use a blower for removing
dust.
,ltis important that the aperture section, through
which the film passes, always be kept clean by
blowing the dust away with a blower. Do not
use anything hard such as a metal brush.
. Keep the camera away from moisture, heat and
dust when storing. Do not keep camphor or
naphthalene near the camera.
. Be sure to set the three-way switch at “OFF”
when putting the camera into its case.
. When the camera is not to be used for a pro-
longed period of time, remove the batteries and
keep them in a dry place.

ACCESSORIES
58mm Close-Up Lenses 450 and 240
Close-up lenses are used when titling copying
documents and when photographing plants and
insects. 450 and 240 indicate the distance in
millimeter from the tip of the lens to the subject
when the distance scale of the close-up lenses are
set at infinity.
®% When using a close-up lens the depth-of-field
becomes shallow. Therefore, close the aperture
down to smaller than f/8.
» Do not use a close-up lens at high magnification
(telephoto), unless for special effects, because the
depth-of-field becomes shallower.
» When the focal length is set at 60mm, you can
obtain the same effect as that of attaching a close-
up lens at a shooting distance of 1.2m.
