Cancelling the CCA Filter and Taking Pictures in

Artificial Light

A Super 8 camera uses tungsten (artificial light) type of color film and has

a built-in CCA filter to adjust the color temperature when it is used in

daylight or in "blue lamp" light.

The CCA filter has to be cancelled when pictures are taken in artificial

light. To cancel the CCA filter, screw the CCA filter cancellation adapter at

the bottom of the camera into the socket on the top of the camera, or

place a lighting unit into it.

Connect the lighting unit to the camera firmly. Insert the rubber mat

supplied with the camera between the camera body and the lighting unit. It

is advisable to turn the camera itself in the final step of the connection.

When using a high power movie light, avoid getting closer than 1 meter

(3.3 ft) as you could burn the subject.

Hold the cord of the lighting unit with the grip to avoid accidents caused

by stepping on it.

In macro-sfiooting it is advisable to use a pair of floodlights instead of a

powerful lighting unit.

Do not use the CCA filter cancellation adapter socket as a tripod socket
