Canon 814XL-S - Manual (Page 45)

Loading the Film
The camera accepts Super 8 sound or silent car­
tridges which have film speeds ranging from
ASA25 to ASA400 for tungsten (A type) film or
from ASA16 to ASA250 for daylight type film.
For filming outdoors in daylight, ASA40 film is
recommended. ASA160 film is recommended for
indoor and night filming.
To load the film:
1. Unfold the film compartment opening knob
and rotate it in the direction of the arrow to
open the film compartment cover.
2. Insert the cartridge, front end first, with its
label facing you as indicated by the diagram
inside the film compartment.
3. Close the back cover, pushing it in, and rotate
the opening knob to its former position. The
cover is now locked shut.
When unloading the cartridge, lift it out back end
first.
The film speed is automatically set on the camera
as soon as the cartridge is loaded. The cartridge
label can be seen through the small window of
the film compartment cover for easy con­
firmation that film is loaded and of the film type.
