A general outline of its functions should be of benefit to the user. 1. Shutter Construction of Regular &mm Cameras ‘As shown in Fig. 1, the shutter of regular ‘Bmm cameras consists of a semicircular blade wich revolves in front of the ‘eperture, When the open part of the blade passes over the aperture, the film stops land is exposad at the same time, and when the closed part of the blade passes over the film, tne exposed frame is driven forward ‘and an unexposed frame is potitioned over the aperture. Photography with @ regular ‘3mm camera consists ofa repetition af the above process. Since the normal speed for shooting Single-8 movies is 18 frames per second the same process is repeated 18 timos in ‘one second Sei @Filmis.

The wider the angle, the more light will passthrough the sperture and the narrower the angle, the less light will pass through to expose the film. The shutter opening angle of regular ‘8mm cameras is fixed. This means that exposure must be adjusted by opening up or closing down the aperture The shutter oponing angle of the FUJICA Single ® 2800, however, can be continuously varied from 160° down to fully closed. Ht ean also be locked at 160°, 80°, 40° and O (fully closed) with the Variable Shutter Dial 95 shown in Fig, 2. The dot represents 120° Shutter opening 3. Funetions of the Variable Shutter Tho variable shutter can be continuously closed down to darken and completely fade out a seene or opened up gradually to fade in @ seene from total darkness. It con also be used for making lapdistolves — one scene foding out while another scene fades in — lay winding ack tne film as well as for making exposure compensations.
