Canon 1014E & Tungsten Shooting

Post by **oslobeach** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 10:05 pm

Hi

I'm used to using my Nizo S48, but it's having some issues at the moment so I'm going to send it off to get looked at.

In the meanwhile, my friend has leant me a Canon 1014 Autozoom Electronic that he has had for a while but has never filmed with it. I'm used to the Nizo's the Sun/Lamp switch to toggle between filming indoor and outdoor fairly quickly. However according to the 1014's manual, you have to unscrew the 'adapter' from under the camera and then screw it into the top of the camera to enable Tungsten shooting.

This sounds ridiculous for run and gun work. Is there no other way to quickly switch between Tungsten and Daylight with this camera?

Thanks for your help.

No. Just get over it. It's not like you have to use an external lightmetre or anything.
No offence meant

The older cameras didn't have slide switches for the filter. You had to stick something somewhere to mechanically shove the filter out of the way. Usually a beer-tab type key on the top, or screwing in a tripod bush, or something similar.
