Remember too that the 5008S Multispeed camera is fitted with an auto matic exposure control system see p 16 Manual level control Set the Auto Manual Sound Level Switch to the left MAN visible and the Viewfinder Needle Function Switch to the right VU visible The recording level is indicated inside the viewfinder by the Needle It must be controlled manually by actuating the manual sound volume control knob so that the Needle never swings up beyond the upper edge of the notch Since the Needle in the viewfinder indicates the recor ding level you cannot check the exposure So filming with manual control of sound should always be done under automatic exposure control see p 16 When you decide to film with manual control of sound it is better to check the average sound level before you start filming and set the manual sound volume control knob accordingly so that the Needle never swings up beyond the notch when you are filming Do not modu late too much while filming To that extent manual control of a sound recording is the same with the 5008 S Multispeed as it is with any tape recorder Manual recording is advised whenever you want to get high quality results as far as sound recording is concerned especially for music a ee EECHER e s Caution Never switch from manual to automatic control of recording level while filming as it would result in a moment s blank in your film sound recor ding 2 Doubl
