Introduction |
Most super 8 cameras come with two sets of batteries, one to run the basic motors and other capabilities, the other is the electric eye battery. This runs the cameras “Electric Eye”. The first “Electric Eye” to be applied to a camera was initially developed by Dr. Albert Einstein and Dr. Gustav Bucky. This technology automatically determined the correct aperture and exposure a camera should use for what it was shooting. The Ricoh Super 8 800z comes with this automatic technology and will periodically need the battery replaced. When this battery dies you’ll notice the camera not running or footage being over/under-exposed. The Ricoh Super 8 800z also comes with a eye battery test meter, another method to evaluate the battery. |
