Canon CINEZOOM 512 - Manual (Page 33)

LOADING THE FILM
For the 8mm camera, the double width, or
16mm film, is used. This is exposed one
side at a time. Unlike the ordinary camera
which
exposes a strip of film once, two
separate exposures are required, one half of
the strip at a time. When one half of the
strip is exposed, the film is turned over so
that the other half of the strip may be ex­
posed.
Since the loading is easy to learn,
there is a tendency to be careless, which
often results in slipping and entry of light.
Such
cases are not rare. Therefore, it is
important to become fully acquainted with
the correct method of loading.
AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT
The film is wound around a spool. In order to
avoid stray light, a leader section of 3 feet
at both ends of the reel has been provided.
Against
any direct strong light, there is
always the danger of light infiltrating. It
is, therefore, desirable that the loading and
reloading be carried out quickiy in the shade,
if need be, in the shade of your own body.
Follow the procedures outlined below;
Raise the winding crank, and wind the spring.
Turn the side cover lock and open the cover.
