Automatic and Manual Fading
Fully automatic and manual fade controls
are other Super-8 exclusives with the 010.
These controls are also made possible by
the DI0's variable shutter opening system.
Automatic fading is accomplished with in-
comparable ease. You set the auto/manual
fading selector to AUTO, slide the fade-in/
out selector to either "0" ("open" for fade-
ins) or to "C" ("close" for fade-outs), and
begin or continue to film. As the fade auto-
matically progresses, you'll see the fade
indicator in the upper right corner of the
viewfinder begin to move up or down to in-
dicate variations in the shutter opening.
This automatic system completely opens or
closes the DI0's shutter sector in about 3
seconds at 18 frames per second, or in
about 2.2 seconds at 24 fps.
With this system, you can fade in a scene
after normal filming, resume normal filming
after a fade-out, or make easy manual fades
by controlling the shutter sector as rapidly or
slowly as you desire.

The unparalleled advantage of this versatile
fading system is the tremendous degree of
creative freedom it offers you. While you
watch the progress of your fade through the
viewfinder, you'll be able to perform avariety
of cinematic expressions that up until now
had never been possible with any 8mm
camera. With constant use and experimenta-
tion with the 010, you'll discover all sorts of
new, imaginative ways to express yourself
on film.
