By the way: I checked the sections shot at 36fps frame-by-frame in VLC and there are no visible flashes that I can see...

Thanks very much for taking a look Mark! You are right about the footage being scanned at 25 fps. I have taken some snapshots in VLC before, after and during the flash as you suggested, but it seems I can only upload 0.29Mb of files and each screen grab is 4.5Mb! Or am I missing something..?

I bought a Canon 814 Auto Zoom in excellent condition, with all functions apparently working, on ebay in April 2019. In May I shot a test cartridge of Kodak Vision 3 200T at the Lickey Hills near Birmingham. The results were very disappointing, with what seems like random, frequent flashes of extreme overexposure throughout, except for a couple of short sequences shot at 36fps which have consistent exposure. The film was processed by Andec and scanned by Gauge Film. I've had no previous problems with any work done by either company, so I think the problem must be with the camera. I am hoping that those with much greater experience of this system and these cameras might be able to take a moment to look at the uploaded footage and offer me any suggestions they may have as to the likely cause of the problem.
