rily long service life. Fully charged, they will power the camera
for:
— about 7 to 10 films at 18 fps between 10° and 50°C (50° and
1229F);
— about two films at 18 fps at — 10 °C (14°F).
B : Battery charging socket
This socket is intended to take the plug of the charger supplied
with the camera, or that of the special DC charging unit, when the
batteries periodically have to be charged (2).
C : Master Switch
This has three positions: "Auto", "Manuel", and "Test". These three
positions correspond to the following uses (3).
"Auto"
Position to be used if the camera is fitted with the basic Beaulieu
Reglomatic lens (automatic diaphragm). In this case, leave the
switch in this position practically permanently.
"Manuel"
To be used when it is desired to uncouple the automatic dia-
phragm control (Reglomatic). Most useful when a scene has zones
of too sharply contrasted lighting which might have an unfavourable
influence on the cell's reactions and thus vitiate the exposure of the
subject to be filmed (carefully read the hints on page 31).
"Test"
This position is used in checking battery charge.
