A
TlON
Holding the
Camera
Steady
A
FUNDAMENTAL
principle
of
all cinematography is camera steadiness.
We
cannot
too
often repeat,
nor
too
firmly emphasize, the importance
of
holding the Cine-Kodak steady. Remember, the best pictures are made on
a tripod- so
that
the
more nearly you approach tripod rigidity,
the
better your pictures
will
be.
Audible Shutter Warning
WHEN
the Cine-Kodak Special is
run
with
the SHUTTER LEVER
at
CLOSED, a loud buzzing noise
will
be heard. This serves
as
a
warning
that
the
shutter
is closed and
that
no
attempt
should
be
made to
take
pictures
without
further adjustment. After a
"fade-out,"
a winding-
back operation,
or
any manipulation
which
involves closing
the
shutter,
it
may happen
that
the next scene is started
with
the
shutter
still closed.
If
this occurs,
the
audible signal is heard.
It
is then
necessary to
wind
the
film back
to
the
last
starting
point,
open
the
shutter, and
start
again. Thus there need be no film wastage
or
failure
to
photograph
the
desired scene.
When
the
film is being
wound
backward for a
lap
dissol
ve
or a double
exposure, the audible signal
will
be
heard
if
the
shutter
is closed
as
it
should be.
Finder
THE
eye-level finder consists
of
two
parts;
the
FINDER
proper,
which
is
attached to the
mount
of
the
I-inch f.1.9 lens and
to
the
adapters for
the
15
mm. f.2.7 wide-angle lens and telephoto lenses; and the
SIGHT
located on
the
top
of
the camera,
to
the
rear (see Figure 22, page 24).
In the
SIGHT
there is a small lens. This lens should be pushed
down
and not used
with
the finder attached to
the
adapter for the telephoto
lenses.
The
lens
of
the
sight
should be pushed up and used
with
the
finders on the regular
l-inchf.1.
9 lens and
the
15
mm.
/.2.7
wide-angle
lens. .
When
the
eye-level finder is used for making close-ups,
it
is necessary
to
correct for parallax. Since
the
finder necessarily is separated from
the camera lens,
it
"sees"
a
slightly
different view
or
field
than
