Manual for H8

Loading the Camera: Ensure the starting button is on 'Stop', lever 12 is on 'Motor', and speed control 19 is set to 16 frames per second. Rewind the motor fully. Remove the lid using button 43. Push down lever 37 to close loop guides. Ensure film guides and pad are correctly positioned. Place the film spool on the top spindle, ensuring film unwinds clockwise. Cut the film end cleanly and discard the cut end. Introduce the film into the mechanism through opening 30. Press button 21 to start the motor. Once film passes the lower sprocket, stop the mechanism. Push up lever 37 to open loop guides. Restart the motor until 8-10 inches of film emerge. Insert the film end into the take-up spool core, wind it, and place on the lower spindle. Check loops, guides, pad, and spool seating. Replace and lock the lid. If incorrect, rewind and reload. To check film in the gate, move lever 17 to T, rotate turret, set lever 22 to P, and observe the gate window.
