Camera will continue until chive mechanism has run down. To stop filming, give another quarter-turn twist, which releases the button back into the "off" position. Flexible trip cable A flexible trip cable, provided with the camera, screws into the internal threading of the trip button. Intermittent or continuous trip control can then be assured by means of the flexible cable. The cable is used whenever the camera is tripod-operated or when the camera must be kept absolutely still.

Actual reel length is 7. 50 m overall impressed-track length: IS m. The two half-strips are subsequently separated and spliced into one 8 mm film for screening. Film running is monitored by means of a footage counter, providing in meters (eardout 5) or feet (readout 4) inclications of the remaining length of film available for impression. Counter actuation is controlled by a "feeler" finger (24) fixed to the shaft and which gradually moves away from the hub of the take-up spool as its load increases. Fade-out Release lever from the "shutter-open" setting. Press on hip release and adjust variable-aperture lever by pushing it home (smoothly and gradually). Film drive will then automatically stop. The operation theoretically takes 4 seconds-hence, the 0-1-2-3-4 markings on the hub disc. Start the operation with the "zero" count and try to keep count and markings (red index) in step. Once the operation is completed, the lever can be locked in the "shutter closed" position, so as to avoid accidental re-starting. It can immediately follow a fade-out or be used without previous fade-out, to introduce a new scene. Unlock level- from "shutter closed" position press on trip release and bring lever back, counting the seconds. Naturally, these operations can be performed over a period of time shorter or longer than the usual 4 seconds, depending on the desired effect. Lap-dissolves Lap dissolves provide a transition between two scenes by super-imposing (doubleexposure) the two scenes during a certain period of time, simultaneously fading one scene out and fading the new scene in. Lap dissolves entail the use of the frame counter (q) and reeling-back (or reverse drive). Frame counter / The frame counter is actuated by a pinion meshing into the perforations of the film (see fig. The forward or reverse motion of the film causes the rotation of the pinion and associated counter.

This can be done with the camera in the loaded condition, because the battery case is located outside the camera.
