For short scenes, it is worth knowing that even ordinary portable mono cassette recorders in good condition are stable to better than 0.2%. That is a quarter of a second in one and a half minutes. I've tested a large number of both portable recorders and those in hi-fi stacks and none of them has be...

You should be able to see through the lens if the 85 filter moves out of the way. The fit of the key is fairly firm (to hold a movie light securely) but don't overdo it! 'scope', from 'CinemaScope' means full widescreen, twice the width of the normal 4 x 3 screen. A lens on the front of the camera s...

For still photography, the 'normal' lens has a focal length equal to the frame diagonal. This gives the closest to the effect of normal vision on perspective. For cine, this would be 5.6 mm for R8 and 6.8 mm for S8. However, camera lenses are usually slightly longer than this:about 6.5 mm for R8 and...

From the UK, registered cash is a cheaper alternative to bank transfer. Sending cash otherwise has become a no-no since all airmail is being x-rayed. Shows up the metal bits in notes beautifully! Then they vanish ... . If cash is the only way, wrap it around a bit of aluminium sheet (1.5 mm ish) and...

I actually have one of these and have to say that as a general purpose camera, it is probably the least user friendly one I know. The lens on mine is a bit stiff and the power zoom doesn't really happen either. You must have a duff one. Mine is excellent - I've had two. The current one has the inte...
