orking
the
Shutter Button
The
shutter release
button of the
8*CM camera is designed
as a two-
step system.
First, when
the button
is pressed,
the electric
exposure
meter
is
set
in
motion
and the
iris
adjusts
itself
to
the
proper
aperture.
Second,
the
shutter
starts
automat-
ically
with the
turning of the motor
when
the
button
is
pulled downward.
With this
two-stage
device,
the
EE
(Electric Eye exposure)
using
CdS
is
very stabilized.
The
button
returns
to its
original
position when
you
release
your
finger
from it.
(Please
read carefully and
follow
the
instructions
on
Runing Lock
in order to
avoid
misusage of
the
shutter
button.)

Auto-grip
To
insure really
professional movies,
it is
best to
use
a
tripod. However, the Auto-grip is
sufficiently
steady to
give
excellent movies
and
one
of
the
8-CM’s attractions
is its mobility
and
ease
of handling
:
1.
The folded grip,
containing battery pulls up
easily
and
locks
in
an
upright
position.
