BEAULIEU 4008 - Holding the Camera; Adjusting the Viewfinder Eyepiece

A Wratten filter allowing daylight use of indoor color films is built
into the camera. According to the type of film loaded, this filter
will be either interposed or retracted thanks to the notches on the
film cartridges. If artificial lighting is to be used (lamps, flood-
lights, etc.), see the paragraph on Filming in artificial light
(page 29).
3° Holding the camera

switch is depressed by the heel of the hand. This means that the
camera is powered. In order to film, its is therefore only necessary

Switch being in the "Auto" or "Manuel" positions) (27).
Important
Let us again stress that never must the camera be stopped by
releasing the power switch first, for in this case the power circuit
is cut and the shutter may stop in any position, which may lead to
fogging. On the contrary, if the release button is freed first, the
camera will stop with shutter closed, thus obviating any risk of a
white frame. The power switch should only be released later.
This power-supply switch also acts as a safety device. In the
"rest" position, the power supply circuit is interrupted.

the standard lens), and the focussing ring set to infinity, open the
