MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

The Sankyo

Hi-Focus

CME-666,

an

entirely

new

concept

in Super-B movie cameras,

offers

two

unique

features

that

make movie camera

history.

• The

Sankyo

Hi-Focus

System features a

unique

super-

imposed image range

finder

which

is

the

first

in

Super-

B

movie

camera

history.

This

advanced technical

innovation

always

assures

you

of

the

most

accurate range setting.

• The

Sankyo

EE Checker System lets

you

add a pro-

fessional

touch

to

your

movie

making.

The

exposure

meter

automatically

sets

the

proper

exposure

for

filming

as

many

other

movie cameras

do

but

what

sets

the

Sankyo

CME-666

apart

from

the

others

is

the

EE

Checker System

which

allows

you

to

check

the

function

of

the

exposure meter

and/or

to

adjust

to

over-

or

under-exposure

to

suit

your

taste.

These

two

new features assure

you

of

precise focusing

and

correct

exposure

under

any

filming

condition

and

give

you

the

kind

of

dependability

you

expect

from

a

quality

movie camera.

THE

SANKYO

HIGH

~

FOCUS

SYSTEM

The

Sankyo

Hi

-Focus system

is

a

newly

developed

double

-

image focusing range

finder

for

the

Bmm

zoom

camera

with

reflex

finder.

You

will

see

an

extra

-

bright

and

clear

filming

view

in

the

CME-666

viewfinder

through

Sankyo's

bright

and

ultra

-

sharp

6X

zoom

lens.

When focusing

the

lens, press

the

Hi-Focus

button.

The

viewfinder

will

automatically

switch

over

to

the

double

-

image focusing system

which

has a

magnification

of

2X

.

Next,

turn

the

distance ring

until

the

double

image merges

into

one image.

It

does

not

matter

if

the

focal

length

of

the

zoom

lens

is

at

the

telephoto

or

wide-angle

position

as

the

double

-image focusing system

will

precisely focus

the

lens regardless

of

its

focal

length and

eliminates

the

necessity

of

always having

to

re-focus

at

telephoto

as

required

on

other

cameras.

After

focusing

,·

release

the

Hi-Focus

button,

then

the

field

of

view

in

the

viewfinder

will

automatically

return

to

the

original one and

you

will

be ready

to

start

shooting.

1) TIPS

FOR

BETTER FILM

MAKING

B

Hold

your

camera

as

steady

as

possible. Even

the

slightest

erratic

movement

of

the

camera in

the

course

of

filming

will

appear

as

a

distracting

quivering

of

the

image when

your

film

is

projected

on

the

screen.

The

use

of

a

tripod

is

recommended whenever possible. Before

mounting

your

camera, make sure

the

panhead

is

set

horizontal.

A

slight

tilt

will

result in a conspicuous

inclination

of

the image

on

the

screen.

Before

shooting, pan

the

camera in

either

direction

and check

through

the

viewfinder

whether

it

rotates

smoothly

and

properly

through

a

horizontal

plane.

Make

it

a rule

to

shoot

individual

scenes somewhat longer

than

you

deem necessary.

If

this

rule

is

followed

,

it

will

greatly

facilitate

film

editing

later

on.

Ordinarily,

each scene

should

be

filmed

over a

period

of

at

least 5

or

6 seconds.

Plan

your

panning

and

zooming

scenes in advance.

Pan

or

zoom

smoothly

and

not

too

fast. Before and

after

panning

or

zooming

,

aim

your

camera

at

one

direction

and

shoot

for

at

least three seconds.

Except

when special effects are

desired, avoid

panning

or

zooming

abruptly

.

When

shooting

indoors

under

an

artific

i

al

light

, set the

movie

light

or

filter

key

into

the

movie-light

socket in

order

to

retract

the

Type

A

filter

from

the

optical

path.

Unless

this

procedure

is

followed,

proper

color

registra-

tion

cannot

be

obtained

.

Try

filming

your

movies in a

story

sequence, instead

of

a series

of

unrelated

scenes.

Then,

edit

and arrange the

scenes in

order

to

make an interesting presentation.
