Problems at extremely low temperatures
Damage to the film Greatly reduced tensile strength and increased The camera, battery and particularly the film stock
brittleness of raw stock. must be protected from extreme cold.
In temperatures under - 15°C (5° F) especially, When a cold camera is brought into a warm and
a change in the film´s friction properties ocurs. humid room, condensation builds up.
This can be prevented by interim storage of the
equipment at approx. 0°C (32°F).
The camera does not reach Capacity or voltage of the battery Check the battery charge following the directions
the selected frame rate is insufficient in the instruction manual.
Magazine tension is not sufficient Check that the camera movement turns easily by
turning the knurled knob on the movement manually.
If difficult to turn, let the camera run
for a few minutes without film.
Check that the magazine turns easily.
Problems in extremely high temperatures
Increased emulsion build-up The mechanical properties of the film change Protect the camera and the film stock from
considerably at temperatures of over 30°C (86°F). extreme heat, e. g. by shading or white covering etc.
The film becomes soft and easily deformed.
The friction coefficient changes and the film
builds up more emulsion.
