Canon DS-8 - Manual (Page 41)

Loading of Film
Double Super 8 film, double the width of Super 8 film, is used for
Canon Zoom DS-8 and exposed one side of the strip at a time.
When one side is exposed, the film should be turned over and reload­
ed so that the other half of the strip may be exposed.
The film is loaded by the semiautomatic loading system and can be
easily performed once you know how. Load and reload film correctly,
since carelessness may cause racing or fogging of the film.
■ As the film is wound naked around the reel, always load film in
the shade. An extra length of leader is attached to the film for pro­
tection against the entry of light, but direct sunlight or strong light­
ing may cause fogging of the film if it is loosely wound.
I Set the master switch at “AUTO” and the filming speed selector
at “18”.
O Raise the side cover lock, turn it counter-clockwise and remove
^ the side cover.
0 Place the film spool on the feeding spool shaft as indicated by
w the diagram inside the camera.
k Trim the tip of the film leader at a right angle, using the built-
• in film cutter. Cut the tip of the film leader in between the
perforations.
