Howdy All,
I found my dad's old super 8 camera and plan to shoot a short film during the semester break.
Now I've figured out pretty much what all the buttons and dials do except two and I'm still confused to which film speed it reads.
The first button is located on top of the casing, located near the lens barrel and is countered-sunk. Second button is on the back of the camera and when pushed a green light next to it lights up, dad believes that its a battery check but it only works when switched on.
In regards to the film speed, I've looked at the super8wiki to get some info but find it a little confusing. There is a small black pin located 0.5in above the centering pin and a large silver pin below it. I assume the camera shoots 160T/100D but really not confident with my conclusion
So if anyone could help out it would be awesome, hey even if the film can get off the ground you can have a technical credit :D
Peace
Norman
