b) FADE-OUT
A fade-out is a gradual darkening of the shot until it has
disappeared completely. To produce a fade-out, the
same procedure as for a fade-in is carried out in reverse.
Start with the shutter lever in a horizontal position
(symbol Ll opposite the notch) and then move it slowly
up until the camera stops.
N. B. - Fade out + Fade.in = Transitional Fade
6. Look at the subject through the viewfinder and frame it by moving the
zoom lever (p. 18).
7. Adjust the focus of the lens and turn the diaphragm lever until the needle
coincides with the triangular cut-out in the viewfinder mask (pp. 21, 22
and 15).
c) LAP DISSOLVE
A lap dissolve is unquestionably one of the most pleasing transitional effects between
two sequences and is made by superimposing a fade-in on a fade-out; thus, a remarkably
soft transition is achieved.
How is it done?
Although the variable shutter is essential for this, it alone is not enough. A special
rewinding system has to be provided.
REWINDING THE FILM
Engage the small hand crank in its lodging (see illu-
stration page 4), and turn clockwise.
As each frame passes, you will hear a clicking sound.
Five frames are rewound with each turn of the hand crank.
You may rewi nd sixty frames or so without affecting the
correct running for your film.
The footage counter subtracts automatically the length
of film that has been rewound.

And now start filming!
In case you still have any hesitation when pressing the
release-button, consult the instruction manual. We believe
having answered in the following pages all questions that
could possibly arise.
Good luck to you!
We would recommend you to shoot
a roll of film and check the results
before filming a holiday trip or other
important occasion. This will allow
you to become familiar with your
camera and will show you if you are
correctly following the indications in
this instruction manual. When in
doubt, see your retailer for advice or
help.
