I recently purchased a Nizo S 560 and I am wondering as to how I will go about using the lap dissolve feature... Please help me as I'm totally new to filming on 8mm!
Thank you!

Hi,
a German manual for the S560 is available here (for registered users - registration is free):

An English brochure is available here (it shows the dissolve-feature):

A short English explanation is available here:

When I am filming and have the trigger pressed when I press the "R" button and the little window changes to "R"... What I mean to say is: do I hold down the "R" button until it gets back to "0"? I'm not sure how to use it
Thank you for your help!

I have a manual in English for the 801, 561 and the 481, and I suspect that what it says about "Automatic dissolves" will apply to your camera.
It says:
"20. Automatic dissolves
As you near the end of a show, press the R button on the camera. The automatic dissolve mechanism will fade out the scene you are filming, wind the film back by the amount used for the fade and halt the drive motor.
When you are ready to start the shot forming the second half of the scene containing the dissolve, press the R buttonb on the camera and the shutter release. The camera will start to run and the shutter will automatically open.
You can check the various phases of the dissolve in the window: 0 = ready for phase 1 of the dissolve (fade out and rewind); R = ready for phase 2 of the dissolve (fade in).
The first time: Do not forget that a dissolve is intended to provide a smooth transition between two scenes of your film, and time the shots accordingly.".
I hope this is helpful to you.
