amateur cine camera to be electrically powered. In 1955 they introduced this single lens model just called the Electric 8. It has some weight for a camera that is smaller than my hand. With batteries and film it weighs 2 lbs
and fits comfortably cradled in my two hands.
This camera comes with a plastic container that holds 4 AA cells to replace the hard to find 4.5 volt
flat battery that came with the camera.
shooting chart is provided on the left hand side of the camera. The ASA and aperture settings displayed on the
rear of the camera under the viewfinder.
25 ft roll of film gives you 50 ft of footage. It only shoots 1 or 16 frames/sec. Eumig also made projectors
I assume they also run at 16 fps as well. The leaver surrounding the shutter button on the front of the
camera has 3 positions, lock, 1 or 16 use this to choose the frame rate. It has seven f stops from
2.8 to 22 adjusted by the leaver surrounding the 12.5mm Eugon lens. This camera also came with a amber
filter with a plastic ring which allows it to slip over the lens.
