Canon 318 M - Manual (Page 15)

Super 8 System
Camera
Tungsten type color film is ordinarily used
for Super 8 system cameras. Generally,
however, shooting is performed outdoors in
daylight. For this reason this camera has a
built-in CCA filter mechanism so that tung­
sten type color film can be used under
daylight. On the other hand, the CCA filter
must be cancelled when shooting indoors
with artificial lighting.
Film
■ The film speed is automatically set when
the film cartridge is inserted into the camera.
i Films can be Interchanged even during shoot­
ing because they are of the cartridge type.
■ Approximately 3 minutes and 20 seconds of
shooting is possible with one cartridge of
film at the standard filming speed of 18 fps.
Film Speed Setting
Tungsten light; ASA 40 and 160 (without CCA
filter)
Daylight; ASA 25 and 100 (with CCA filter)
■ In ordinary indoor shooting, use an ASA 160
(Tungsten Type) film.
■ In daylight shooting, use an ASA 40 (Tung­
sten Type) film.
■ When taking outdoor pictures under strong
light condition (EV 15 or over) with the ASA
160 (Ektachrome) film, use an ND filter.
