Canon ZOOM 8-3 - Manual (Page 15)

Speed slower than 1 6 frames per second can effectively
be used if you wish to film cloud or weather condition
changes or to speed up the action of slow moving objects
for which the usual 1 6-frame-speed would appear too
slow or monotonous on the screen.
The single frame exposure is used in recording the
life of growing plant.
It can also be used in
trick photography or to
give comic effects to
your motion pictures.
When taking single
frame exposure, the 1 6-
frame-speed should be
used.

on the exposure time.

24 frames per sec. 1/50 sec.

EXPOSURE LEVER SAFETY LOCK
When the camera is not in use,
rotate the LOCKING RING clock­
wise until a red mark appears.
When this is done, the EXPOSURE
LEVER is locked to prevent
accidental tripping. To unlock,
rotate the LOCKING RING back
until the red mark is concealed.
With the EXPOSURE LEVER pressed
down, the LOCKING RING can be
rotated further in the same direc­
tion (still concealing the red mark).
This will lock the lever in position
for continuous taking.
CAUTION
When the camera is empty, avoid running the
motor at the speeds of more than 24 frames
per second.
