• Beyond this figure, the cycle starts again and the figures shown on both dials
should be added to the 1000 frames already totalized. Take no notice of the
relative positions of the dials but only of their readings.
You can easily check if the figures shown on the frame counter refer to the first
or second cycle, by looking at the footage counter. 1000 frames of 16 mm film
'correspond to 25 ft.
To set the frame counter to zero, use knob (a) which controls the upper dial
and knob (b) which controls the lower "totalizer" dial.
Audible signal
A clicking sound marks the passageof each 8" of film and is heard approximately
every second at the speed of 24 f.p.s., every 1
Y2
seconds at 18 f.p.s. The length
of a scene can thus easily be estimated while filming. To reduce the strength of
the audible signal, or to eliminate it altogether, move the small lever inside the
camera, next to the counter pin, towards zero.
