CAMERAS

• This instruction manual is for the CineKodak K-I00 Camera and the Turret Model.
On the turret model you can mount three
picture-taking lenses with matching viewfinder lenses - thus allowing you to change
quickly from wide-angle to medium to telephoto shots. The Cine-Kodak ~-100 Camera
has a single taking lens and viewfinder lens.
Any of the lenses, Ifimm to I52mm with C
mounts, can be used. The cameras use either
single- or double-perforated Ifimm film.
Movies are more than just pictures. Merely following the rules for proper camera operation will produce technically acceptable
pictures. Add to this imagination and artistic effort and your pictures become good
movies - movies that you will be proud to
show and that your friends will really enjoy
seeing.
Simple instructions are given on the next
6 pages. For more detailed information, read
further in the manual.

Serial
Numbers:
The serial number of your camera is
stamped on the rear carry handle clip. The serial number
of the lens is stamped on the front of the lens barrel.
Record these numbers with your personal papers for positive identification of the camera and lens. In case of loss
or theft, report the fact to your Kodak dealer and to the
local police at once.

PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERiCA

The Kodascope Pageant Sound Projector, ac or de, 105
to 125 volts, has a capacity of 2000 feet of film. It
operates at both sound and silent speeds. An accessory microphone plugged into the amplifier enables
you to narrate your silent movies and to use the
Pageant as a public address system.
The Kodascope Analyst Projector, 60-cycle ac only, can
project movies in normal fashion on a screen and also
in natural light on its own built-in screen. It also
operates by a remote control switch which provides
immediate forward or reverse operation. It is ideally
suited for such special applications as sports analysis,
motion study, etc.

Kodak Cine Photoguide
Take the guesswork out of movie making with the
Kodak Cine Photo guide. Here is a 32-page pocketsized booklet with a durable leather-like cover. It contains on-the-spot movie-making information for both
common and unusual lighting conditions. Among the
subjects covered by convenient dial computers, tables,
and brief text are: indoor and outdoor exposure,
close-up photography, movie continuity, field size and
depth-of-field tables for many Kodak Cine Lenses and
supplementary lenses, and film and filter data. See
your Kodak dealer.

load the camera

Remove the empty take-up spool. Unroll
about two feet 01 film from the. new spool
and place the spool of film on the SUPPLY
SPINDLE, square hole down.
Follow the film path as shown by the red
lines and arrows on the plate. Push the film
down and, at the same time, pull it forward
to engage the FILM SPROCKET teeth in the
film perforations. The take-up spool turns in
the direction of the arrow shown on the
camera.
Press down the EXPOSURE LEVER for a
moment and check the following:

Kodascope Proiectors
The Kodascope projectors answer all your needs for
sound or silent motion pictures. The projectors come
equipped with powerful 750-watt lamps amply bright
for average projection. A 1000-watt lamp can be used
for large audiences. The projectors are fitted with a
2-inch f /1.6 Lumenized Kodak Projection Ektanon
Lens. The following Kodak Projection Ektanon
Lenses are also available: a 1Yz-inch f /2.0, a 3-inch
f /2.0, and a 4-inch f /2.5.
The Kodascope projectors are smartly styled, light,
compact, and easy to operate. All are permanently
lubricated.

1 The spools must be seated all
the way down on the spindles.
Check to see that .the film

2 moves evenly and follows the
film-guide lines.

It is possible to run film through
the camera without taking satisfactory pictU1"eS,if the film perforations are not engaged
by the PULLDOWN. This is because the driving force then comes irom the sprocket only.
CAUTION:

Set the FILM METER at LOAD. Then replace
the cover and turn the locking knob clockwise
to secure the cover. Run the camera until the
film meter is at 100.

The Cine-Kodak K-IOOCamera can be hand-cranked
either forward or reverse for special effects. No more
than two feet of film should be reverse wound at a
time. This is accomplished by use of the Cine-Kodak

K-IOO Hand Crank. See your Cine-Kodak dealer.

The camera is adaptable to electric motor drive by
using the Cine-Kodak K-IOOMotor Drive Shaft available from your Cine-Kodak dealer.

field case
A fine instrument deserves good care, and there is no
better way of caring for your camera than to keep it
in a suitable case. Not only will its appearance be
benefited, but the camera will actually take better
pictures longer, if it is properly cared for. The field
case not only protects the camera from scuff-marks
and bangs, but permits it to be ready for picture taking at a moment's notice. The case will also help keep
your camera clean; dust collecting on the lens surface requires frequent brushing off to maintain picture clarity, snap, and brilliance.

set the speed dial

The speed dial can be turned until anyone of
five speeds (16, 24, 32, 48, or 64 frames per
second) is opposite the index mark.
For normal screen action, when using a silent projector, use the 16 frames per second
speed. Film to be run at sound speed should
be exposed at 24 frames per second.

Cine-Kodak

Filters

Filters are used in black-and-white photography to
obtain correct tone rendering, to create special sky
and moonlight effects, to cut haze, and to obtain contrast between areas differing in color. The wise use
of a filter will often make the difference between excellent photography and mere record.
Correction filters aid in reproducing colors as
grays in the relative brightness that the eye sees
them. Oftentimes blue reproduces too light without
a filter, and there is no contrast between sky and
clouds. Filters also cut bluish atmospheric haze on
distant scenes.
A filter such as the Kodak ND-3 Filter is needed
when Cine-Kodak Tri-X Film is used in sunlight.
Filters such as the K2, G, A, and Xl are recommended for black-and-white photography. All are
supplied as Kodak Combination Lens Attachments in
series sizes. Additional information on filters comes
with your film.

Kodak Sonotrack Coating-a magnetic sound track coating service-is now available for processed, singleor double-perforated Kodachrome or black-and-white
I6mm Cine-Kodak film.
Sonotrack Coating can be applied to film taken at
either sound or silent speed. It is placed on the side
of the film that faces the projection lamp.
Kodak Sonotrack Coating is available in three
widths. Single-perforated
I6mm film having no
sound track will be Sonotrack coated the full width
of the track area. When an optical sound track is on
the film, it will be Sonotrack coated half the width of
the optical track, unless you specify that the full
width of the optical track be coated. It is available in
edge-coating for double-perforated I6mm film.

Sonotrack Coating must be ordered through
your Kodak dealer. This coating can be ordered by your dealer after your 16mm CineKodak film has been processed. Unexposed

winding motor
Be sure the EXPOSURE LEVER is in the off or horizontal
position. Raise the WINDING HANDLE on the side of
the camera and fit the opening in the handle over the
square end of the shaft. Turn the winding handle
clockwise until the SPRING MOTOR DIAL is at about 40
feet.

loading
Turn the locking knob counterclockwise to the UN-·
position and lift off the cover.
Take the empty take-up spool out of the camera.
Remove a spool of Cine-Kodak film from its carton

The glass-air surfaces of the lens on your camera.have
been Lumenized to reduce internal reflections, flare,
and scattered light. This increases the brilliance of
black-and-white pictures and the color purity of
Kodachrome pictures. All Lumenized lenses appear
tinted by reflected light but this color has no effect
on the image.
To clean the lens, carefully brush off any dust or
grit with wadded Kodak Lens Cleaning Paper or a
fine camel's-hair brush. If necessary, wipe the surfaces gently with a wad of lens cleaning paper or a
clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Always wipe with a circular motion. Fingerprints,
oil spots, or other scum
deposits can be removed with a drop of Kodak Lens
Cleaner on the cloth. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL.

LOCKED

cleaning the film channel
Open the pressure plate as far as it
will go. With the ball of the thumb,
rub off any accumulation of dirt on
the polished tracks of the plate.
With a match covered with a clean
cloth that has been dipped in Stoddard's Solvent, such as Sovasol No.
5 (Socony-Vacuum Oil Company) or
Sunoco Spirits (Sun Oil Company),
remove any accumulation on the
tracks of the aperture plate. (Do not
use alcohol as a cleaning agent.) Remove any dust or lint on the edges
of the rectangular aperture. Be extremely careful not to scratch the
polished surfaces over which the
film travels. Never scrape the tracks
with a metallic tool.

animation by single-frame

exposures

One of the most absorbing fields made possible by
your camera is animation-the
movie method of
breathing life into inanimate objects. You may wish
to try the simpler type where chessmen play their
own game, and books, ash trays, etc., roam around
over a table top. Or you may be sufficiently fascinated
by the almost limitless possibilities of animation to
try your hand at the more complicated types.
To animate a subject, expose a single frame, move
the subject slightly, expose another frame, move the
subject again, and so on. If a certain movement is
to take place in one second on the screen with the
projector operated at normal (16) speed, 16 singleframe exposures will be required.
Applications
of animation
include: animated
titles, graphs that draw themselves, machines, and
other manufactured products that assemble themselves.
The Cine-Kodak K-100 Cameras are also excellent for time-lapse photography-a method of greatly
accelerating a period of time. The growth of a flower
to full bloom, rapid movement of street traffic, cloud
formations for an entire day, can all be depicted in
a few seconds' time with time-lapse photography.
Expose one frame at a time at intervals which will
produce the desired effects. The interval between
exposures will vary according to subject matter.
To make single-frame exposures, set the speed dial
at 16 frames per second and push up the exposure
lever once for each exposure. Each single frame is
exposed for 1/20 of a second. If the Universal Guide
is used for determining the exposure, one stop smaller than the exposure indicated for 16 frames per second should be used; for example, if the exposure
guide reading is f /5.6 for 16 frames per second, the
lens opening should be set at f /8.

and metal can. Remove the paper band around the
film. Save the paper band, carton and metal can to
send the film to your dealer for processing.
Pull out about two feet of film, Be especially careful
not to let too much film unwind or the film on the spool
will be fogged. Place the spool of film on the SUPPLY
SPINDLE with the square hole down. Make sure that the
spool is properly seated-the end of the supply spindle
should project through the round hole in the spool.
Following the red film-guide lines and arrows, insert the film between the UPPER FILM GUIDE and the
FILM SPROCKET. Push the film down and at the same
time pull it forward to engage the sprocket teeth in
the film perforations. Open the PRESSURE PLATE only
enough to make it stay open. Do not push it beyond
this open position. (The illustration below shows the
pressure plate fully opened in order to show the pulldown.) Following the film-guide lines, pass the film
between the pressure plate and the APERTURE PLATE.
Be sure the film is placed all the way into the film
channel.
Close the pressure plate and move the film back and
forth until the PULLDOWN engages a film perforation

unloading and care of exposed film

NOTE: It is extremely important that the film
perforations
be engaged by the pulldown.
Check again to see if the film is properly located in the film channel and follows the red
lines so that correct loops, which are also
important
to the functioning
of the camera,
are formed. Then inspect the pressure plate to
be sure it is seated correctly with respect to
the film and the film channel.

Follow the red film-guide lines and pass the film
between the LOWER FILM GUIDE and the film sprocket.
Engage the sprocket teeth in the film perforations.
Insert the end of the film in the slot in an empty
take-up spool. Turn the spool one turn to securely attach the film to the spool. Place the spool, square hole
down, on the take-up spindle. Turn the take-up spool
clockwise with your finger until the film appears
snug on the spool.
Press down the exposure lever for a moment and
check the following conditions:

The usable length of film has been exposed when the
film meter shows O. Before removing the camera
cover, run off the trailer as follows:
Run the camera until the line below 0 on the film
meter is opposite the pointer. The end of the film can
usually be heard as it leaves the film channel. Remove
the cover; then remove the full spool of exposed film
from the take-up spindle. For best results have the
film processed as soon as possible after it is exposed.
See the directions that accompany your film.
Before rethreading, make sure the gate is free of
dirt, pieces of film, or foreign particles.

film meter
Set the film meter at LOAD. Then replace the cover
and turn the locking knob clockwise to LOCKED, to secure the cover. Run the camera until the film meter
is at 100.

pictures outdoors at night
Unusual and artistic effects in color or black-andwhite can be obtained at night with your camera.
Brilliantly lighted streets or the theater districts of
large cities make interesting shots. Lighted streets
and squares photographed on wet nights or after a
heavy snow are especially attractive. Animated electric signs are always good subjects. For best results,
photograph only brightly illuminated scenes.
Use Cine-Kodak Tri-X Reversal or Cine-Kodak
Tri-X Negative Film for sporting events on dull
days, indoor-lighted events, and night-lighted outdoor events.

making exposures
With the spring motor fully wound, about 40 feet of
film can be exposed. If several consecutive scenes
must be photographed, be sure to wind the spring
when the spring motor dial indicates that the motor
will run about 5 to 10 feet of film. However, it is
best to wind the spring after each scene. In this way
the camera is always ready for use.
To start the motor, push the exposure lever downward. To stop, release the lever. Pressing the lever
all the way down locks it in the running position.

scene length
About 6 feet of film (15 seconds at 16 frames per
second) is sufficient for average scenes in which the
action is continuous. However, the length of a scene
should be governed by the nature of the subject.
Landscape shots, for example, can be of greater
duration than scenes with brief, fast-moving action.

shutter speeds
The exposure data is given on the basis of 16 frames
per second. The use of any faster speed requires a
larger lens opening (stop); for example, at 32 frames
per second, the lens opening should be 1 stop larger;
at 64 frames per second, the lens opening should be
2 stops larger. The Cine-Kodak Universal Guide
shows the proper lens opening for each camera speed.

For correction when filming a subject 2V2to 7 feet
from the camera, with the 25mm lens, note the position of the reference cross with respect to some point
on the subject. Then move the camera so that the
middle cross is at the position previously occupied by
the reference cross. The camera is now in position to
photograph the field previously outlined by the mask.
For correction at 1V2 to 2% feet, with the 25mm
lens, use the lower cross instead of the middle cross.
For other lenses the crosses are to be used for different subject distances. See the table below.

camera speed
For normal screen action with silent pictures, set the
camera speed at 16 frames per second.
If sound is to be dubbed in, or if you expect to run
the film at sound speed, the camera should be operated at 24 frames per second. When setting the
camera speed, remember that any camera speed
faster than projection speed will produce slowerthan-normal action in the projected picture.
The speed dial can be turned until anyone of five
speeds (16, 24, 32, 48, or 64 frames per second) is
opposite the index mark. Intermediate speeds can be
obtained by turning the dial until the index mark is
between any two numbers.

using the turret

The turret rotates on a central axis, and, when
turned, brings each lens successively into picturetaking position. To make certain that each lens is
correctly positioned, the turret snaps into place for
each lens.
With the turret snapped in place, the taking lens is
at the upper right and lined up with the film plane
mark on the camera cover. The viewfinder lens for
that particular taking lens is at the top of the turret.
If a 15mm lens and 152mm lens are used on the
turret, the 152mm lens must be in the lower position
when the 15mm lens is in the picture-taking position.
To avoid disturbing the lens settings when rotating the turret, grasp the two adjacent viewfinder
lenses.

camera. The Cine-Kodak K-100 Cameras can be handheld. However, the pictures, when projected on the
screen, will appear much steadier if the camera is
placed on a tripod while pictures are being taken.
The tripod socket is on the bottom of the camera.

When replacing a finder lens, insert the lens into the
lens retaining mount so that the stud on the lens
mount fits in the slot in the lens tube; then tighten
the retaining collar.

Kodak Cine Ektar Lenses, 15mm 1/2.5, 25mm 1/1.4,
25mm 1/1.9, 102mm 1/2.7, and 152mm 1/4.0 in
type C mounts fit directly on this camera. A Kodak
Ektar 1/1.4 Converter, 25mm to 15mm, used with a
converter adapter, is available to fit the 25mm 1/1.4
lens with a type C mount. The Kodak Cine Ektar
Lens, 25mm 1/1.4, with the converter in place, becomes a fast, wide-angle lens which covers a field
approximately 60% larger than a 25mm lens. This
reduction in focal length is accomplished without
loss of lens speed or of image quality.
By using a Kodak Cine Lens Adapter Type C the
following interchangeable Kodak Cine Ektar Lenses
can be used: a 15mm 1/2.5 wide-angle lens, a 40mm
1/1.6, a 63mm 1/2.0, a 102mm 1/2.7, and a 152mm
1/4.0. Viewfinder lenses are available for use with
15, 40, 50, 63, 75, 102, and 152mm focal length lenses.
For wider coverage than can be obtained with the
standard 25mm lens, use a 15mm wide-angle lens. The
wide-angle lens covers a larger field, about 60% more
than the 25mm lens. For large, clear pictures at long
range-close-ups of sports, wild life, children at play
-use a telephoto or long-focus lens.
Taking the image produced by a 25mm lens as
normal, the other lenses produce images- magnified
in direct ratio to their focal lengths. Thus the 63mm
lens produces an image 27'2 times larger than a
25mm lens; with the 152mm lens the image will be
6 times larger.
IMPORTANT: For best results when using a long-locus
or telephoto lens, brace the camera against a firm
support. Use a tripod. whenever possible.

and admits about twice as much light. Each succeeding marked opening doubles the light passing through
the lens. The larger the number, the smaller the lens
opening. Set the lens opening by turning the lens
collar until the proper number is at the index.

The finder is a telescopic type finder. It is designed so
that with the 25mm viewfinder lens, the subject ap.pears full size. Adjust the finder focus by turning the
finder focus knob back and forth until the image is
sharp. For most people, proper adjustment of the
finder focus will allow you to change from one turret
position to another without further adjustment of
the finder focus. The rectangular mask which appears
in the finder is in focus at the same time as the subject so that a sharp definition of the field that is being
photographed can be seen.
The field outside the mask is also visible, so that
action outside the field being photographed can be
observed and the camera moved to include it if
desirable.
'
When other lenses are used, a viewfinder lens
which matches the focal length of the taking lens
must be used. The table on page 17 shows the finder
lenses which are available. To remove the finder lens,
unscrew the retaining collar and lift out the lens.
