The adjustment ring Q merely has to be set accordingly. 11 Unloading the camera 0 In Beaulieu cameras, the end of the film is shown by the cessation of the flicker-indicator in the lower part of the viewfinder. The word "exposed" should appear on the film itself; this is a certain identification of an exposed film, and avoids re-Ioading the camera with an alreadyexposed film. CAUTION. - When removing a partly-exposed cartridge, 7 frames are fogged and the footage counter automatically returns to 15 m/50 ft. If it is imperative that cartridges should be changed the length of unexposed film still available should be noted on the label in such a position that it can be read through the side-door window when the film comes to be loaded once more. This figure will allow the operator to correct the footage counter's indications and to be certain of the amount of film stili unexposed. - After filming, make quite certain the power-supply switch is in position A (normal). Never leave this switch in position C when not in use: you would run the risk of completely discharging the battery. This switch should permanently be kept in positions A or B both of which automatically interrupt the battery power circuit. 24 SPECIAL USES 1° Macroclnematography Without the special "Macro" system, you can film as close as three feet from . any object. But, closer than this, the new Macrocinematographic system of the 4008ZM2avoids the use of special lenses and extension tubes. 0 mm (transparent slides, phototransparencles, etc. \ up to 1, 50 m (in other words, from 0. inch to five feet). (A single channel is enough. ) a) Plug the male receiver plug into the camera jack. In this case also, it is recommended that the viewfinder eyepiece should be kept covered. Maximum operating distance depends on the power of the radio sets used. - When under cable or radio control, the camera may stop with its shutter open or closed; or again in an intermediate position. The Reglomatic system goes on operating but, if the shutter is not completely shut when the camera is at a standstill, the diaphragm will only assume a correct position after a certain time once filming is resumed; this will lead to variable exposures in the initial frames of the sequence. Slip the key into the slot in the camera pistol grip so as to cut out the filter (44) ; ~ 2. Set, opposite the green dot, the "artificial light" speed of film used. Example: Type A Kodachrome II film: set the speed of 40 ASA if you wish to film indoors with "artificial light" type lighting. Note: When using "daylight" type artificial lighting, use as you would outdoors: 44 29 a) The flIter retraction slide should be removed from its slot; b) The "daylight" speed of the film should be set opposite the green dot. Example: A-type Kodachrome II film: set 25 ASA when you want to film In "daylight" type artltlclal light. 45 7" Use of non-automatic lenses 1. Standard the 16 mm lenses "C" mount lenses Over and above the lenses especially designed for the Super 8 format, the 4008 ZM 2 camera will accept any object lens designed for 16-mm work (C mount: extension 17. 52 mm (11/16"), thread 25. 4 mm (1") - max. [. . . ] Ending a scene: (100 frame lengths, at maximum) (60) Depress the film wind locking button I' - Gradually push forward the variable shutter control lever T (fadeout) until it stops Stop shooting Lock the lever T in its extreme forward position Lock the three position power supply switch Din the safety catch position (p 10) Engage the notched ring of the reverse wind device Rotate the notched ring clockwise. Finger pressure on the notched ring must be just adequate to permit the film to run in reverse. Free the release buton E Set the switch D to desired position Beginning the next scene: Release the lever T, and maintain it in its extreme forward position Start shooting Gradually draw back the lever T to its extreme backward position (fade-in), within a lapse of time equal to that of fading out when completing the preceding scene. . 50 IMPORTANT· Be careful not to depress the film when shooting normally.
