The film cassette
Suitable films for your camera
The Nizo
801,
561
and
481
models are
designed to accept Super-8
film cassettes.
When the camera is
loaded, the automatic
exposure
control
is
set to the film speed
of
the film stock inside the cassette. The fol-
lowing film
speed ranges are available:
Artificial
light
color
film from 13 to 23 DIN
(= 16 to 160 ASA)
Daylight
color
~ilm
from
11
to
21
DIN
(=
10
to
100 ASA)
Black-and-white film from
11
to
21
DIN
(=
10
to 100 ASA)
Inserting cassettes, checking camera
loading
Open the flap on the rear end of the ca-
mera and insert the cassette
into
the
com-
partment with the film aperture at the front.
The
circular
recess on the cassette should
be on the control knob side of the camera.
If the cassette is inserted the wrong way
round, the
flap will
not
close
.
In
this case,
do
not
use force, but remove the cassette
and insert it the
other
way round
as
de-
scribed.
The cassette
itself
automatically
adjusts
the exposure
control
to suit the type of film
stock being used. The film
counter
returns
to the start position when the cassette
compartment
flap
is
openeed. The
counter
also runs when there is no cassette in the
camera. The
outer
scale
indicates
the
length
of
film still available in meters, the
inner
scale in feet. The smooth side of the
camera (opposite to the side incorporating
the
controls)
includes
a
window
which
enables you to check
whether
the camera
is
loaded and
what
film stock
is
being used.
If film
is
passing
out
of the cassette,
through the camera and being returned to
the cassette
correctly, a red illuminated
signal
will
appear
at
intervals above the
viewfinder image. As the
length of available
film
is reduce'd, the intervals between the
light
signals
will
become
longer. When the
end of the
film is reached, the
indicator
lamp above the
viewfinder
image will
re
-
main on
continously. You can check
that
the film has been run completely through
the camera by
looking
for the word «Ex-
posed
..
in the film aperture of the cassette
after
removal.
The built-in filter
Super
-8
color
films
are manufactured to
suit the
lower
color
temperature of artificial
light.
A built-in conversion
filter
(red)
ad
-
justs the
color
temperature to suit daylight
filming
when the red
triangle
on the film
switch
is
turned to face the sun symbol.
When filming in
artificial
light, the red
mark
should be placed
opposite
the lamp sym-
bol.
The
special
setting
is
indicated
by a
red
lamp
symbol
on the right, above the view-
finder
image, when the camera is running.
Note this
symbol
if
you film in daylight, to
prevent
a heavy blue tinge on
your
films
when developed.
For
all black-and-white film and
daylight
color
films, the filter switch
mark
should
always
be
left
against the sun symbol.
