I just had a scare that my light meter & the EXPOSURE settings were wonky. Turns out it's a just a strange light meter inside teh damn thing.


Can anyone tell me how well the EXPOSURE settins on the R10 can accomodate shooting at 24FPS ?

I bought one recently.
Speed vs filmspeed shoudl be all automatic in Auto mode.
Can be manually set too.

You can download a manual here: ftp://ftp.filmshooting.com/pub/scans/ni ... on_r10.zip

I have a Nikon 8x super zoom. It is Super8mm. The light meter needle will stick if the camera is pointed at a bright light, read sun, and will stay there, out of sight. A sharp hit on the other side is needed to send it back. This has had to be done several times so far with no adverse effects, except to my nervous system.
