Introduction
Your old 8mm and Super 8 films are degrading. Worse, the memories are
fading and the film is becoming more brittle just sitting in the box. Convert
your Film into digital now before the memories are lost forever!
Introducing the reflecta Film Scanner Super 8 - Normal 8. A simple to use
device that will convert your movie reels into digital movies (no sound)
in one step. Works like a typical projector where you mount the 3 inch or
5 inch reel, insert a memory card, press a few buttons and the Film Scanner
will scan frame-by-frame to create a digital MP4 movie file that you can
play on any computer. You can also edit, upload movie files to the internet
or burn them to DVD's.
Features
• A fully automated apparatus to digitize 8 mm and Super 8 film reels of up
to 5" into digital videos.
• Frame-by-Frame digitizing for high-quality digital output.
• Stand-alone machine, no computer, software or drivers are required
• Scans and directly saves digital movies into SD/SDHC cards (32GB max,
not included)
• Converts 8 and Super 8 movies into MPEG-4 (MP4) digital movie files at
1080P/30 fps
• Compatible with all Windows, Mac and Linux Operating Systems
• Playback the digital movies on TV using the included TV Cable

Getting Started
Preparing the Film
If your film is not in good condition (ie. it is broken, ruptured with
perforated holes, misaligned, taped overlap, bent, spliced, gluey, or thick),
please check and fix the problem first. Otherwise it may damage or jam
the reflecta Film Scanner Super 8 and Normal 8, or produce poor quality
videos.
Also, some early films might have been wound too tight, which might cause
jittering during the recording process. You can use the reflecta Film Scanner
Super 8 and Normal 8 to rewind it back and forth to regain proper winding
tightness.
Before recording, it is good practice to use a lint-free cloth and/or anti-
static film cleaner to remove dirt particles, clean any processing chemical
residues, and to dry any scattered mildew on the film in order to prevent
them showing up on recorded videos.
1. Attach Power Cord
Plug in the included DC 12V power adapter.
2. Insert SD/SDHC Memory Card (Max. 32 GB)
Insert the SD/SDHC memory card before powering on the Film Scanner
device.
• Using a MicroSD card with an adapter, or SDXC card (64GB), which
is not compatible with the Film Scanner will lead to a "Card error"
message appearing on the screen. The Film Scanner can only take a SD/
SDHC memory card of up to a maximum capacity of 32 GB.
• Make sure the SD/SDHC card is unlocked (white tab in forward position).
• Insert and push the SD/SDHC card inward until it clicks. Improper
insertion may damage the card reader or the SD/SDHC Card, which
neither is covered under warranty.
• Dismount/eject the SD/SDHC card by pushing the card in and releasing,
instead of pulling it out. The Film Scanner will power off automatically
when the SD/SDHC card is mounted/dismounted.

directly to the left shaft, otherwise use the provided red coloured reel
adapter. If adapters are needed, always place the red adapter on the LEFT
side; the GREY coloured adapter is for the RIGHT side.
