A speed of 40 frames per second
when projected at the normal rate of
18 frames per second gives a very
slow motion effect. This slow motion
is extremely useful for analysing
rapid movements or, from a purely
aesthetic point of view, for showing
the beauty of certain gestures.
It should be noted that the exposure
system automatically compensates
for the difference in light received by
the film when changing from one
speed to another.

You can work your camera in normal,
continuous and single-frame opera-
tion.
Normal operation
*
Hold the hand grip so as to press
firmly against the switch bar on the
back: in this way you connect up the
batteries to the motor and the auto-
matic exposure system, and at the
same time allow access to the two
sockets (A) and (B).
You can now operate the mechanism,
either by pressing on the release
trigger or by using the flexible cable
release supplied with the camera,
which you will first of all have to screw
into the socket (A).
Before using the flexible cable re-
lease, in normal operation, you must
push the small crown in and turn in a
clockwise direction.
N.B.: Between two sequences, avoid
pressing on the hand grip and do not
forget to remove the cable release:
this enables the switch bar to return
to its initial position, and the batteries
are then disconnected, which helps
prolong their life.
Continuous operation *
To set the camera to continuous
operation, screw the flexible cable
release as above into socket (A), but
this time turn its small crown in an
anti-clockwise direction: when you
press on the end, the cable release
automatically locks in position: to
unlock it, press on the small crown.
