With

the

purchase

of

your

argus/cosina

super

eight

camera

you

have

joined

an

entirely

new

generation

of

movie

makers

who

enjoy

a

completely

different

system

of

filming

and

showing

home

movies.

There

are

no

film-speed

dials

to

adjust,

no

filters

to

install

or

re-

move.

No

exposure

factors

to

calculate-in

short,

no

bother

or

worries

at

all!

The

film

cartridge

and

the

new

automatic

system

built

into

your

camera

do

everything

for

you

—

nothing

is

left

for

you

to

do

except

set

the

frame

speed

desired

and

have

fun

making

movies.

You

fever

even

touch

the

film.

The

first

time

you

take

the

camera

out

of

its

box,

there

are

a

few

things

to

get

ready

before

you

start

filming:

1

Install

batteries

to

power

your

camera’s

electric

drive.

2

Install

the

small

battery

that

powers

your

camera’s

automatic

electric-eye

exposure

control.

3

Insert

an

instant-loading

film

cartridge.

...

and

you

are

ready

for

the

first

scene.

However,

we

suggest

you

read

through

all

of

these

instructions

before

you

load-up

and

start

shooting.

After

the

batteries

have

been

installed

and

the

film

is

in

place,

setting

the

and

unlocking

the

Trigger

Release

are

all

you

ever

have

to

do

to

get

ready

for

filming!

When

you

have

exposed

all

of

the

film,

open

the

camera,

remove

the

cartridge

and

send

it

off

for

processing,

insert

another

cartridge

and

continue

shooting!

(Reversing

Your

with

several

Some

are

high-energy

types

which

provide

much

longer

Any

the

following

kinds

are

suitable

and

will
