ture and sound opening of the cartridge.
In addition, when a partially exposed
cartridge is placed in the camera, the
film-supply indicator will be at "1," in-
dicating a "full" cartridge.
However, if you choose to remove
the film cartridge before it is fully ex-
posed, be sure to run the camera for 1
or 2 seconds to advance your scenes be -
yond the sound opening in the cartridge
to avoid spoiling any scenes. Note the
setting of the film-supply indicator be-
fore you remove the cartridge. Mark
this setting on the cartridge so that it
will appear in the window. When you
re-insert this cartridge into the camera,
subtract the marked setting from "1" to
determine the setting at which the car-
tridge will be fully exposed. For exam-
ple, if the marked setting is "3M," make
movies until the indicator is at "%."
(Listen very carefully for the sudden
"free-running" sound of the camera
mechanism when the indicator ap-
proaches "%.") This gives you a fully
exposed film cartridge, but the end-of-
film pointer will not appear in the finder.
film processing
You can have your film processed as fol-
lows:
(1) Take the exposed super 8 film
cartridge to your dealer, who will ar-
range for processing (specify the pro -
cessor, if you desire); or (2) You can
mail your exposed cartridge of Kodak
color movie film to a Kodak laboratory
(Kodak doesn't process black-and-white
film) if you purchase the appropriate
KODAK Prepaid Processing Mailer from
your photo dealer and then send the ex-
posed film cartridge directly to a Kodak
laboratory according to the instructions
on the mailer. The Kodak laboratory
will mail your processed film directly to
any address you specify.
camera care
cleaning lenses - The picture-taking lens
and the viewfinder lenses are built into
the camera and cannot be removed for
cleaning. Clean the protective glass in
front of the front viewfinder lens and
the pict1,lre-taking lens by first blowing
away any dust or grit from the surfaces;
then gently wipe the surfaces with a
clean, soft, lintless cloth. If necessary,
use KODAK Lens Cleaner on the cloth.
Clean the rear viewfinder lens by first
blowing away any dust from the sur-
face; then gently wipe the surface with
a clean, soft, lintless cloth.
cleaning film aperture - Clean the FILM
APERTURE in the camera frequently to
prevent buildup of dust at the aperture.
Open the film-compartment door; then,
while holding the camera up so that dust
will not fall onto the rear of the lens, use
a small, soft brush to clean the aperture.
Remove any dust in the film compart-
ment.
sound-recording mechanism - As the film
passes the sound-recording mechanism,
it "wipes" away any dust or dirt. There-
fore, you don't need to clean the sound-
recording head in your camera .
