Yashica 8T2 - The Speed Dial; 8 Frames Per Second; 12 Frames Per Second; 24 Frames Per Second

The speed dial of the Yashica
Your Yashica Movie has seven running speeds. They are 8, 12
u
16,
'24, 32, 48, and 64 frames-per-second. The major uses of each
speed are described below:
8 FRAMES PER SECOND
(Shutter exposure 1/18 second)
Use only with perfectly stationary scenes
when there is danger of under exposure
at 16 frames-per-secondwith maximum
lens aperture. Used also for extreme
speed-up, since all moving objects move
twice as fast on the screen. Shots will
project only half as long as at standard
speed. For a 7 second shot, run the
camera 14 seconds.
12 FRAMES PER SECOND
(Shutter exposure 1/26 second)
For accelerating movement, such
as a slow moving boat, or sports
action, to achieve more dramatic
effects. Shots will project only
3/4 as long as at standard
speed. For a 6 second shot
run the camera 8 seconds.
24 fRAMES PER SECOND
(Shutter exposure 1/50 second)
Useful for reducing the effect
of camera shake when panning,
or to produce slight slow-motion
effect. Also used for sound
films. Shots will project 1! times
as long as at standard speed.
For a 15 second shot run the
camera 10 seconds.
