~-THE TWO BATTERY-POWERED SYSTEMS

Film Transport and Power·Zoom

Four 1.5 volt penlite batteries, located in the Pistol Gri p @ power

the fUm transport and the power-zoom lens. To install or replace

these batteries, remove the cover of the battery chamber by loosen·

ing the Battery Chamber Screw @ with a small coin. Be St;fl! the cor­

rect positive-negative f+, - I orientat ion of the batteries is followed,

as shown in the accompanying diagram, and as indicated inside the

battery chamber , Replace the cover and tighten the Screw .

Note : Ordinary zinc-carbon batteries may be used, but manganese­

alkaline batteries are recommended for their longer life .

Penlite Battery Check

Place a finger on the Battery Check Button @ and hold the camera

to your eye . Push the Button toward you, so that the mark" P" f--­aligns with the inde)(. Observe the aperture scale above the frame

in the viewfinder. The aperture needle should swing anywhere beyond

the red diamond • (check point) on the r ight . If it does not , the

batteries are e)(hausted and must be replaced , or they have been

placed incorrectly in the Battery Chamber .

Battery-Powered CdS Automatic Exposure Syste m

Two 1.3 V mercury batteries, (Mallory PX-13, RM·625, PX ·625, National

M· ID), power the fully automatic CdS exposure system. These are

located in the Mercury Battery Chamber ® , under the Pistol Grip.

These batteries are supplied installed in the camera. Normally, they

will last for several years of use.

When replacement is necessary . the batteries are removed by loosen­

ing the Mercury Battery Chamber Screw and lifting out t he Mercury

Battery Carrier. Note t hat the batteries can be installed in the ca r ·

rier in only one way, and that the carr ier wi ll only slip into the camera

body in the correct way. For reference , positive· negative (+ . -)

,

Battery Carrierorientation is engraved on the carrier ,

Mercury Battery Check

check the mercury batteries . follow the same procedure as for

t he penlite batteries. except that the Battery Check Button is pushed

away from you so that the mark" M" aligns with the index. Again ,

the needle should sw ing anywhere beyond the red diamond • (check

point) on the r ight.

LOADING

The Nikon Super Zoom·S Camera accepts the new Kodapak

instan t· load cartridges. These contain 50 feet of Super·S movie fllm which is exposed" straight-through " , without

flipping after the firs t 25 feet have been shot. Open the Cartridge Chamber Cover Qt by turning the Lock

03 fully in the direction indicated by the arrow . Swing the

cover open. Dr op a Kodapak cartridge into the Chamber ,

front first. with the Cartridge Guide Pin @ slipping into

its notch in the cartridge. Push the rear of the cartridge

down until it clicks into position.

II correctly positioned, the label on the cartridge will be up. facing you. Then, swing the cover shut and close the Lock.

The Film -type indicator on the film cartridge will be visible

through the Film Cartridge Window @,

The Footage Counter @ on the opposite side of the camera

body will now point to "0 " , Th is counter resets i t self to

.. 0" whenever the camera is opened ,

.. SETTING·UP " FOR STANDARD SHOOTING

Runnln &: Speed Control

Normally , si lent films are shot at 18 frames-per· second. To sel the camera for this speed, rotate the Control Dial G) until the number 18 al igns w ith the while t r iangle.

While most sound projectors will record and play at 18 or 24 frames ­per-second, sound is improved at the lasler speed. Therefore , if a sound track will later be added to your film, it is recommended that you shoot at 24 f rames-per-second. Align the number 24 with the white triangle above the Dial . The use of 12 frames ·per·second speed will be discussed later.

Rotate the A·M·e Ring until " A " (automatic) aligns with the black dot. Note that the Ring clicks into this position , and. cannot be accidental · Iy jarred out of alignment.

Swing the Pistol Grip down until it Clicks into position . Turn the Run·Lock Control @I until ·' R " (run ) al igns with the white dot. Attach the wrist strap to its eyelet @. Since inserting the cartridge in the Film Chamber auto · matically sets the exposure system for fllm sensitivity. your Nikon is now" set up", and ready to shoot.

Run -Loc k Control

Set the Run· l ock Control to the position ., R" and the

Trigger will freely be pushed. If the Trigger in the depress·

ed position is locked by setting the control knob to "L '.,

the flIm is kept in continuous running. When the camera

is not in use, it is best to return the Run ·Lock Control to

" L " (lock I to aVOid accidental exposures . B

-LOOK THROUGH THE VIEWFINDER

The viewfinder gives you several important items 01 filming informa·

tion at a glance .

Bright, Erect Viewing, Throu gh·The· Lens

The scene at which the camera is pointed, and which is covered by

the lens, is clearly delineated within the frame of the finder. The field

is actua lly carried from the lens t o your eye by an internal system

of pr isms. You're looking t hrough the lens I

Focusing by Split· lmag e

In the center of the viewing screen is a split-image rangeflnder.

First, adjust this rangeflnder image to your personal vision by rotal·

ing the Eyesight Adjusting Ring @ until the horizontal line dividing

t he two halves of the rangeflnder appears sharp. Then. lock the eye·

piece in this position by turning the Eyepiece Lock @.

If t he camera is out·ol ·focus, all vertical lines will appear to be

broken in the range finder . Rotate the Focusing Ring @ until these

lines appear continuous and unbroken.

ZOOMING

Your Nikon Super Zoom ·S movie camera is equipped with a S. I X

zoom lens of incomparable quality. It may be used as a valu­

able filming t ool in two different ways.

Zoom Effects (Power Zooming)

T he lens trave ls its full range f rom 8 ,8 mm w ide-angle to 45 mm

telephoto in about 6 seconds when the power ·zoom feature is used.

To zoom-up to telephoto, press the " T " posilion on the Power Zoom

Switch ill. Everything will appear to move in toward the camera , and

objects will grow larger . This effect is observable in the viewfinder.

To zoom-away to wide·angle , press the" W" position , and the oppo­

site effect occu rs.

Zooming the lens wh ile the camera is running causes the same effect

to be captured on the film that you observe in the viewfinder. If a

total zoom is not desired, the Switch may be released at any point,

and the lens will instan tly stop its zoom·travel.

Manual Focal · Length Settings

A very valu ab le feature of the zoom lens is its capacity to be set any­

where between its telephoto and wide · angle extremes for pleasant .

frame·filling compositions .

For accura te settings, rotate the Manual Zoom Ring @ until the view·

finder shows the desired coverage of field . The local· leng t h at which

the lens is set may be read on the scale provided on the Manual

Zoom Ring. The setting is that which is aligned with t he black indi·

cator line on the left side 01 the lens barrel.

SHOOTING

T o Check for Correct Ex posure

Hold the camera by the Pistol Grip, with the viewfinder to your eye,

and permit your index finger to f est on the Trigger @. Press the

Tr igger lightly, to its firs t c lick ·stop position . The ca mera wi ll not

run but the aperture needle will swing into the aperture scale . If the

needle swings anywhere between F/ l.S )the white area just before

"2 ") and F116, the light is all right , and eKpo5ure w ill be correct .

The aperture scale tells you what lens opening the automatic el['

posu re system has selected for correct exposu re. It is also extremely

useful when manual exposure settings are made, as will be explaine d

later , For conven ience, several of the int ermed iate aperture va lues in

the scale have been represented by symbols, as shown below .

To Run th e Cam era

Hold the camera as before, and press the

Trigger f ully in. The automa tic exposu re

system w ill operate, as described above,

and the camera will operate.

12

Poor Ex posure Warnings

At the left extreme of the aperture scale is a red area @' When

the aperture needle points to this area, it is a warning that the

light is not bright enough for good exposure, and a faster film,

a slower filming speed or artificial light must be used.

At the extreme right is a second red area <lil that warns you when

the light is too bright. In this case, a less sensitive film must be

used, or a fa ster filming speed , or a neutral·density (NO) filter­

precisely calibrated gray filter that cuts the intensity of light wi t h· 8 out affecting color - over the lens.

Fllm ·End Warnin g

When you have reached 50 feet , the end of the film in the cartridge,

a red square will appear in the lower left corner o f the viewfinder. Fi'm.,,"' warning

This is your signal to stop and re·load.

Note: When rotating the

A·M·e Ring, be careful not

to cover the Scale IlIumi·

nator Window ® with your

hand, or the aperture scale

will dim out or disappear in

the view finder.

13

" NON·STANDARD" SHOOTING CONDITIONS

Runnln l Speed Control

As previously ment ioned, standar d silent shoot ing speed is 18 frames-per·

second. Sound speed is 24 f rames-per ·second. The Running Speed Control

has a third position: 12 frames· per-second .

If the light is too dim to shoot at 18 or 24 fps, correct exposure will often

be achieved by selecting 12 fps. Of course, everything moving in the scene

will appear to be speeded up, so its best to use th is speed when only st a·

tionary objects appear in the scene.

On the other hand, t his" speed ·up" effect is often desi red for comedy

effects. In this case, the 12 frames-per· second position may be selected

at any time. Similarly. the 24 fps position will have the effect of slowine

everything down slightly, i f the normal 111m speed is 18 Ips. This is a kind

01 creative control your Nikon gives you for special·effects filming.

The Automatic Exposure System is keyed to the Speed Selector . and it

automatically compensates when the fliming speed is changed.

Manual Exposure Control

It is sometimes desi rable to set exposure manually rather than automatically, to compensate for back·

lighting or strong sidelighting or for special effects. (For example, simulated moonlight shot by bright

sunlight may be achieved by a 2 F.number underexposure.) To select an aperture setting manually, push

in on the A·M·C Ring l ock (1), and move the A.M .C Ring anywhere off .. A " . Then, look through the view.

finder and rotate the ring until the aperture needle points to the desired F·number. The automatic ex­

posure setting selected by the camera may be used as a reference for correct exposure when a deliberate

over· or under·exposure is desired . 14

I

AFTER YOUR SHOOTING SESSION

When the full 50 feet of film have been exposed, a red square will

appear in the lower teft corner of the viewflnder. The Footar;a Counte~

will nQ~ rcad "50".

To Unload The Camera • Open the Cartridge Chamber Cover and lilt up the rear end of the car·

t r idge. The cartridge may then be lifted out of the camera. The word

" Exposed" will be visible on the end of the film. Take the cartr idge

to your dealer for processing as soon Be possible , It wil! be returned

to you as 50 f eet of proce~sed film, on a reel, ready for projection.

Wh en Th e Cam era II N ot In Use

Retract the Pistol Grip by pressing down on the Grip Release· Lock

@ and swinging the Pistol Grip up until the Latch @ clicks onto

the latch Pin @.

Turn the Run-LOck Control to .. L " position .

Replace the len~ cover, and the camera is ready for storage. If the r camera is to be stored for a long period of time, it is a good idea

to remove the penlite batteries from the Pistol Grip. The mercury

batteries, however , may safely be permitted to remain in the camera.

SPECIAL EFFECTS

Fad e-In And Fade-Out

Turning the Manual Exposure Ring to" C" (closed)

position closes t he lens diaphragm completely,

allowing no Ught to pass . This permits marking fade-out and fade· in effects in the camera.

To fade-out at the end of a scene, set exposure

manually. The automatic exposure syst em may

be used to determine correct exposure setting.

Then, at the end o f the scene, slowly tur n the

Ring until it re aches" C" and will turn no further.

Thi s w ill cause a gradual dimming of the scene

to complete blackness.

To fade-in , do just the opposite. Determ ine the

correct exposure sett ing . Then, turn the Ring to

"C" position. Start the cam era and, while look·

ing through the viewnnder, t urn the Ring until

the aperture needle points to the correct F.

number , then , continue shooting the scene.

If the t ime for fade· in or out takes 3-5 seconds,

the best will be obtained .

It is always recommended to mount the camera

on a tripod or some other firm support while

shooting fade· in and fade ·out effec ts, to avoid

jarring the camera and causing an unpleasan t

bouncing effect on the screen when the film is

shown. The Tripod Socket accepts any st andard

tripod .

16

Si ngle-Fram e Ex posures

To expose one frame 01 flIm at a time, insert a standard

cable release into the Single·Frame Socket @' Each time the cable release is actuated, one frame of film will be

exposed. This is a useful feature for making an im ations . ..

bringing objects to life and having them skitter across

a table·top. For this effect, the object is moved a quarter·

inch or so before each exposure.

Again, t o obtain maximum camera steadiness while the

single.frame feature is being used, the camera should be

mounted on a tripod or a similar support.

Re m ote Con trol Fil mlna:

An accessory remote control cable is available from your

Nikon dealer. The free end of this cable plugs into the

Remote Control Socket @, thereafter set the Run·lock

Control to "L" position which the Trigger is being de·

pressed. The controls on the other end o f the ten·foot

cable are then used to start and stop the camera. This

feature enables you to take movies of yourself! It is also

extremely useful for filming nature studie s of shy wildlife

creatures, or for filming in hazardous or uncomfortable

areas .

17

FILMING INDOORS AND OUTDOORS

A type·A filter is built into the camera. This flIter conv(:,ts

outdoor light so it may be used with tungsten-balanced (Type·A)

film. The f11ter is normally in the light path, so no action

need be taken when f11ming outdoors with Type·A film.

When filming indoors with a Super·S Movie Light, the key of

the light is inserted in the Movie-Light Slot @. The dust

cover that protects this slot when it is not in use is easily

removed. If photofloods or other movie lights not equipped w ith the

key are used, the special key provided with the camera is

used to swing the Type·A filter out of the light path. Insert

the key into the Slot. Remove it after the shooting session

is ended, and replace the dust cover. Put the key through

the wrist strap, so as not be misplaced.

B

CLEANING YOUR CAMERA

The L ens

Clean the lens infrequent ly , every two or three

months, unless the camera has been used in

very dusty places. Remove large dirt particles

with a blower brush. Remove grime with a lens

tissue, slightly moistened with lens cleaning

fluid. Always k eep the len s capped when the

camera I I not in use. NEVER SCRUB OR RUB THE LENS SURFACE.

This will damage the fine chem ical coating of

the lens. And, NEVER USE A FACIAL TISSUE

OR HANDKERCHIEF. The former will leave a

lint deposit on the lens ; the latter will scratch

the lens surface.

An el(ception to the rule abOut infrequent clean·

ing: remove flnger·marks immediately. Body

acids can et ch the fingerprint into the coating

of the lens, making it impossible to remove.

The Cam era 's Interior

Clean the inside of the camera by blowing out

dir t and film particles with a blower brush.

Then, dust the inside fully.

Clean the film aper ture with a soft tlrush, and

remove nlm and stubborn dust particles with

a cotton·tipped st ic k. (A lens tissue wrapped

around a toothpick is usef ul). NEVER CL.EAN

THE FILM APERTURE WITH AN YTHING ME·

TALLIC . You may scratch its nne. polished

surfaces anCl transfer t he scratches to the film.

Store the camera in its original con t ainer or the

accessory carrying·case when it is not in use .

SOME FILMING TIPS

Ke ep The Cam era Leve l

Hold the camera perlectly level to the hori~on

when you're shooting . A tipped horizon line is

unpleasant to view on the screen.

Ho ld Th e Cam e ra S te ady

It 's a very good rule of thumb that the camera

should remain rock -steady. and the subject move

within the frame . If you must move the camera,

as in a "pan" shot, make the movement ve ry

slow and as smooth as you possibly can .

Don ' t Over·Zoorn

The :toom lens o f your camera is such a delight­

ful feature that t here's a constant temptation

to put a zoom effect in every shot. Don't do it.

Use the zoom effect very sparingly. or it will

lose its impact on your audience.

K ee p The Sun Behind Y ou

You'l l get best results if the sun is anywhere

behind you, from shoulder t o shoulder ,

K eep Your Shot Lon g Enough ...

But Not Too Long

Avoid short bUrsts . Make each shot at least 7

seconds in length . Where there·s lots of inter·

esting action, hold the shot even longer. If a

shot is too long, you can always t rim i t in edit·

ing ... but you can·t use what you neglected to

shoot !

Shoot Children From L ow Angles

Kneel down when you make shot s of children.

Better yet, get flat down on your stomach.

You·1I get a view of the world as a child sees

i t . . . and you'll avoid t he unpleasant foreshorten·

ing effect that distorts pictures of children when

they' re shot from adult height.

20

Shoot .. Re·Aetlon " Shotl

While you're filming some kind of event, shoot

close·ups of spectators' faces reacting to what's

going on. Splice these into the main footage,

and they' ll add a dramat ic element to your film·

ing efforts.

When Shootl" a: From A Car

Set the lens at wide angle ; shoot preferably at

24 frames·per ·second and poi nt the camera no

more than 45 degrees away from the direction

in which the car is t ravelin g, All this will help

to smooth out bumps and prevent blurring the

picture . Shooting directly ac ro" the d irect ion

o f t ravel w ill cause an unpleasant blurry ap·

pearance.
