4" LCD Viewfinder
Composing shots on Super 8 is easier than ever before. The LCD viewfinder swivels, allowing a wide range of shooting angles. And thanks to its expanded screen, navigating features like aspect ratio overlays, interactive menu selection and camera settings is intuitive and straightforward.
Extended Gate
16:9 (widescreen) shooting and increased visual resolution. The Super 8 Camera's extended gate optimizes more capture area of the film strip - allowing for an 11% larger image than traditional S8 cameras. This 14:9 full frame gives your Super 8 film the flexibility to intercut with other modern media capture formats, seamlessly filling the frame of today's TV and video screens.
Interchangeable C-Mount Lens
The new Super 8 Camera comes equipped with a detachable wide-angle 6mm 1:1.2 C-mount lens, offering a range of creative choice for filmmakers of all levels. Use any other C-mount prime lens or adapters to mount the lens of your choice. Experiment with vintage lenses for a retro feel.
Image Purity
The camera was designed with image quality in mind, so there are no filters and no glass between the lens and the film plane, just air. This feature maximizes the light that reaches the Extended Gate for a more effective exposure of the filmstock. It also empowers the filmmaker to unleash their creativity by making deliberate decisions about color and exposure.
No integrated conversion filters for color temperature or exposure control
Individual choice for filtering in front of the lens
Manual Exposure control
Utilize the camera's integrated exposure meter or an external light meter to set the lens aperture and determine if a neutral density filter on the lens is necessary to achieve the desired exposure.
Connectivity & Crystal Sync
Capture high-quality audio seamlessly with the on-board sound recorder and external microphone connectivity via 3.5mm input directly to the integrated SD card reader. Monitor audio levels with live meters on the built-in LCD. The first modern Super 8mm camera with crystal sync at 24 and 25 fps, plus over and under crank at 18 and 36 FPS. Enhance capture with any HDMI enabled monitor via the micro HDMI output.
