Kodak Ektasound 130 - Unloading the Camera; Existing-Light Movies; Indoor Movies with Movie Lights

existing-light movies
Low-level existing light is the light
found in homes, schools, churches, and
stage shows; outdoors at night, and in
lighted street scenes or scenes including
illuminated buildings after dark. This
includes daylight indoors and artificial
light which exists in a scene.
Your camera, loaded with KODAK
EKTACHROME 160 Movie Film (Type A),
is designed for making movies with
existing light. You can make movies in-
doors with the light existing in a typical
living room, at stage or ice shows, or in
any similarly lighted surroundings. The
automatic exposure control automati-
cally adjusts the lens opening for the
amount of light.
For movies of subjects illuminated by
regular light bulbs (tungsten light), set
the filter switch to the " .0 " position.
(For other types of lighting, such as
fluorescent, carbon-arc spotlights, or
daylight indoors, the switch should be
set to the" o !? :- " position. When there is
more than one type of light and you
aren't sure which type is strongest, set
the switch for daylight, " o!?:- .")
When the low-liciht signal appears,
the lens opening is at its maximum. You
can continue to make movies with the
signal on and your movies will be some-
what darker than normal, but accept-
able in most instances . (If your subject
is spotlighted against a dark back-
ground, the camera's automatic expo-
sure control will adjust for the dark
background and your subject may ap-
pear light in your movie.)
When making movies with existing
light, avoid any unusually bright light
sources facing toward the camera. Other-
wise, the camera's automatic exposure
control will adjust for the bright light
and your subject may appear dark in
your movie.
Be certain to set the filter switch to
" o !? c" before making daylight movies.

You can also use a movie light with your
camera if you desire . See your photo
dealer for a suitable movie light.
CAUTION: For the safety and comfort
of your subjects, read the manufac-
turer's instructions carefully before
using any movie light.
unloading the camera
When the film-supply indi-
cator approaches the "0"
position, you are nearing the
end of the film. A pointer will
appear at the top right of the
viewfinder rectangle when
there is approximately three
feet of film remaining to be
exposed. Listen very careful-
ly as you continue to operate
the camera until you hear
the sudden "free-running"
sound of the camera mech-
anism. The pointer should
be at the right center of
the viewfinder and the film-
supply indicator will be at
"0," indicating the cartridge
is fully exposed. Open the
film door and remove the
cartridge. (Slide the latch
all the way forward to raise
the cartridge for easy re-
moval.) The word "EX-
POSED" appears on the film
in the picture aperture of a
fully exposed cartridge.
Never open the cartridge or manually ad-
vance film into the cartridge, or you may
cause the cartridge
to jam.
NOTE: We feel that it is better if you
don't remove partially exposed car-
tridges because some "light-fogging" of
the film will result in the picture aper-
