Setting the Filming Speed
Normally, the camera is set at 18 fps. as this is
the standard speed for Super 8 movies.
Changing the speed to 9 fps., is used to speed up
the subject's motion. This speed is also used to
compensate for under-exposure of a still subject
in dim light. Single frame shooting is used for
purposes like animation photography which is
single frame shooting that gives a feeling of
motion.
