TITLES
Even with sound movies, titles are important.
In silent films titles are imperative since they tie
the pictu re together.
The Minolta Zoom 8 is a single lens retJex camera
thnt shows you exactly the area you are photogra-
phing. Therefore titles are very easy to make
because there is no parallax correction problem_
In addition, you can use zoom effects when making
titles as well as when filming.
The nearest focusing distance of Minolta Zoom 8
is
about 5 feel. But, with the zoom lever set at
30mm, you can frame as small an area as 5.7 X 7.5
inches without the need for attachment lenses.
To get even cl oser to the title card, use a titler,
or the close up attachment which will let you get
to 15.7 inches from the subject.
(When the camera is brought to "b, with the aid 01
the close-up attachment lens, the area covered by
the lens is only l.8 x l.3 inches at the 30mm focal
length.)
