Chinon Pocket-8, Super 8 silent camcorder

 

Go from film camera to film camcorder, in this post I will be looking at the 8mm and Super 8mm camcorder, the Chinon Pocket-8. I really like this camcorder just because I really like the way 8mm film looks and the potential of the story telling and experimenting that can be done with it.

First a look at the Chinon company history. Started in 1948 Japan, by Hiroshi Chino focusing on manufacturing Lenses, cameras, disk drives, printers and movie cameras (film camcorders). Chinon was also a partnered with Kodak and went by the name Chinon Industry Inc. and by 1997, Kodak became its majority shareholder and later merged Chinon into the Kodak company, but the Chinon Corporation was restarted “by the founder's family as the formal successor.” (ChinonShop 2012)

Interestingly enough Chinon started making lenses for many top Japanese camera companies, most notably Canon. But “Although widely respected for their innovations, they did not begin marketing under their own name until about 1972…” (OzCamera). The company also went through different name changes, first Sanshin Seisakusho from 1948-1962, then Sanshin Optics Industrial Co. Ltd until 1973 and finally Chinon Iindustries Inc. (Taranto Metropolitan University). It has been restarted as mentioned above, but the Chinon company is still owned by Kodak (specifically Kodak Japan Limited) since 2004 (Science Museum Group).

Chinon isn’t what most camera collectors think of, but as Eckman (2017) points out: “Their cameras were quite well built, but they weren’t exactly a company known for innovation.  In fact, many Chinon made cameras were rebadged and sold under the brand names of other manufacturers such as Argus, GAF/AGFA, Revue, Sears, Alpa, and Albinar.  As a result, there are far more Chinon made cameras out there than most people probably realize.” Meaning that most collectors might already own a few Chinon cameras without even realising it!

According to Eckman (2017), Chinon started branding their products in 1958 when they released their first 8mm motion picture lens. Which is interesting because when they started releasing their own cameras (both still and motion) under their company name in 1973 with their new name, “Chinon was heavily involved in 8mm movie cameras. In 1976, they produced over 800,000 sound and silent movie cameras (38% of the world's production). In 1980, they claimed to be the world’s largest producer of Super 8…” (OzCamera).

But with the introduction of video, Chinon was losing money and in 1983 teamed up with NEC to create the 8mm video, which caught the eye of Kodak. This lead to a partnership between Kodak and Chinon in 1985 “in which Chinon would produce 35mm cameras bearing the Kodak label. At the time, Kodak owned about 9.5% of Chinon stock. In 1997, after three successive years of losses, Chinon was acquired by Kodak and continued to make Kodak products including digital cameras.” (OzCamera)

Now for the item at hand, the Pocket-8. This film camera was released in 1978 (FilmKorn) and is one of the smallest super-8 cameras made and “fits into a coat pocket” (Classic Cameras 2024).

The camera comes with a built in and fixed Chinon Color Lens, with a focal length of 1.6 at 15mm. It also has a fixed aperture with an f/stop of 8 (Kamera Store 2024).

 

But if the user wanted to upgrade this, they could buy the zoom lenses that was separately sold. There were three different lenses available: “Wide Angle lens, Telephoto lens (1.7 8-32 mm), Cinemascope lens (Anamorphic Widescreen lens)…” (Filmkorn).

 But the one zoom lens attachment I see most commonly used seems to be the Chinon Reflex 8-32mm f/1.7 Zoom Lens (ACECameraExchange 2024).

On top…

Is the aperture setting to help with the type of lighting used. It has two settings: Indoor (artificial) lighting and outdoor (daylight) lighting. These setting set the film speed to 100 (daylight) and 160 (artificial) ASA, which has a notching of 1-pin (Filmkorn).

Behind that is the Shutter button. This is used by holding the shutter in that causes the spinning mechanism to “crank” the film cartage and take footage at a speed of “18 / 36 frames per second” (Classic Cameras 2024) inside the film compartment. Behind that is the focus wheel, which is used to?... That’s right adjust the focus!

 On the back…

Is the view/ridge finder, which is a “single-lens reflex with adjustable eyepiece” (Filmkorn) or SLR for short (see Olympus OM30 Film Camera posts for more information on this).

Underneath the viewfinder right at the bottom is the DC 6V socket to possibly power the 35mm slide copier, that much like the zoom lenses, were a separate attachment that the user could buy and was used to copy the images from the Super 8 film onto 35mm slides. This is possibly also used for a remote system (Filmkorn).

Now for the left side…

Nearest to the lens is the exposure setting. This can be switched to auto, which adjusts the exposure to the environment and indicates this with a red line that appears on the readings in the window next to the knob. But this can be switched to manual, where the red line is moved by the user and stays in place.

Next to that is the backlight control button, which is used to compensate for lack of lighting and harsh lighting by manually opening up the aperture to a few more stops (The Whole Picture 2023). And next to that is the 36 fps button. This increases the shutter speed from 18 seconds (when the shutter is used alone) to 36 seconds (when the 36 button and shutter are pressed simultaneously together.

 Next to that is the main switch, with three self-explanatory options: On, Off and Battery test.

Underneath all of these settings is the Film remaining indicator window, which gives an indication of how much film is left in the cartage in terms of the Super 8 film’s length in both feet and meters.

Underneath…

Is the tripod, 35mm and pistol hand grip (also an optional separate attachment) sockets.

On the right side…

Is the slide button to open the film compartment.

The film compartment has a window to indicate what type of Super 8 film is inserted and to indicate the ASA (K25 (daylight) and K40 (artificial) film) to make sure that the right aperture setting is set.

Inside the compartment is the DC micromotor (film drive motor) that spins or cranks the film in the cartilage.

The compartment is also where the batteries are inserted. This camera operates with two AA batteries.

This camera also came with a leather back and carrying case.

I did go over the history of the 8mm film in my The It’s Cragstan 8mm Portable Projector post, as well as some history of the Super 8 film, but I will go more in-depth on that here.

This camera takes Super 8 film, specifically K40 and K25 as mentioned above. But it should be noted that there are two different types of Super 8 film, silent and sound (Nostalgic Media 2024). Silent, which is the type the Chinon Pocket-8 uses, just records footage and sound, which uses a magnetic strip to record sound, captures both footage and sound.

Super 8 film was introduced in 1965 by Kodak and according to Kodak’s (2024) website:

“Kodak introduced the Super 8mm format, which included film, cameras and projectors. Cheaper and more convenient than previous formats, this is what really brought movie-making to the masses. Cartridge loading eliminated threading the film and was virtually foolproof. Made out of plastic, it meant no more jamming, which was a common issue with the 16mm Cine-Kodak magazine. And the entire 50-foot cartridge could be shot without interruption. The cartridge itself provided information to the camera about the speed (ASA) of the film as well as filter information for black-and-white products. Precision notches were set at specific points on the edge of the cartridge, activating mechanical or electronic switches in most Super 8 Cameras, most of which were built with battery-powered motors, eliminating the need to wind a spring-driven transport.”

Basically, like the 110 film and 126 film, the Super 8 was to make 8mm film much easier to use.

There are also many differences between the 8mm and Super 8. This being that the Super 8 has smaller sprocket holes and are in the middle of the frame. Second is that Super 8 comes in a cartage, like the 110 film (see Minolta 110 Zoom SLR film camera and KODAK Pocket Instamatic 10 Camera posts) and the 126 film (see Kodak Instamatic 104 Camera post) and thus doesn’t have to be winded out into the camera or rewinded when finished. Instead it can just be directly inserted and taken out, without the risk of accidental exposure. In fact, the only thing that the 8mm and Super 8 have in common is that they are the same size. (Roemer)

It was basically part of Kodak’s mission to make capturing on film easy as possible and well the Super 8 can be thought of as the “everyday man’s type of film…” (Roemer). 

And to drive it home here is an excerpt from Nostalgia Media’s (2024) article Ultimate Guide to Film Types: 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm Film:

“Super 8 film is probably the most recognized and widely used film stock by amateur filmmakers. Introduced in 1965, Super 8 film was quickly adopted thanks to higher image quality and having an easier cartridge loading system compared to standard 8mm. Super 8 film was also specifically designed to accommodate a sound track. Sound film can be identified by a thin rust-colored strip along the film between the edge of the film and the image area. Super 8 film is still being sold and manufactured today, with Kodak announcing in 2017 that they would once again make Ektachrome available in the Super 8 format.”

Now for an explanation on how it captures footage. First is that the light goes through the lens and exposes each individual frame. The shutter opens to let the light in and as the frame is exposed, the shutter closes and reopens once the next frame gets into position (Imperfect Cine Club 2011). It does this at a very fast pace and manages (for the Pocket-8 at least) to expose 18/36 frames per second.

This light then reacts to the film, which is known as cine film and is different from photographic/C41 film. One difference is rimjet. Rimejet is added to avoid leakage and damage from the heat that generates due to the fact that cine film takes multiple shots in a rapid succession. Rimjet is basically a “thick black layer on the reflective side of the film. It's also the reason most labs can't process cine film. It generally doesn't remove easily and has the potential to contaminate the chemistry in automatic film processing machines.” (Wellington Film Lab 2024)

But other than the rimjet, it appears to work the same as C41 film (Masterclass 2021), please see my Kodak 200 Color Plus Film to learn more about that.

But the developing of the Super 8 and cine film is different and is known as a process called ECN-2 which uses “CD3 developer which is an older compound. Cine film can also be cross processed in C41 chemistry (CD4 developer) once the remjet layer is removed. ECN-2 process results in more true to life colour replication and better resolution of the film grain. It also produces flatter negatives with less contrast (designed for cinemas) whereas cross processing in C41 may see some colour shifts, denser negatives and greater contrast.” (Wellington Film Lab 2024)

For a step-by-step process on this development, please see Manning’s (2021) article ECN-2 Processing: Everything You Need to Know for more information:

https://studioc41.net/2021/07/18/ecn-2-processing-everything-you-need-to-know/

But remember to choose the right film ASA before shooting to make sure it is compatible with the lighting used!

And there it is. I really like this camera because of the nostalgic look of the footage. Which like my constant mentioning in my Panasonic/National NV-M5 Camcorder and Olympus OM30 Film Camera posts, that if you want to get that old look, then use the actual technology instead of a filter! It does make for more work, but it is worth it in the end result.

Another thing I like from this camera is its size. Like most cameras I mention that are small and easy to use and begin with if you are a digital camera user, I recommend starting with this if you want to shoot a movie on film (just remember that there are very little room for error, especially since one Super 8 cartage can only shoot around 2:30 and 3 minutes!). It is also small enough and compact to pack in a back or even your pocket (hey maybe that is where the name came from!).

Thank you for making it to the end and as always I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did researching it.

Nikon Coolpix L19 Compact camera

 

This post will be looking at another Coolpix compact camera, but this one is special because this was my first ever camera. This is the Nikon Coolpix L19.

I will just be referring to the camera as I already discussed the history of Nikon and the Coolpix camera series in my Nikon Coolpix S01 compact digital camera post, so please check that out: https://cfthblog.blogspot.com/2024/04/nikon-coolpix-s01-compact-digital-camera.html

The Coolpix L19 was released in 2009 and “is a member of Nikon's Small Sensor Compact class cameras…” (Camera Decision 2024). The camera itself is very user friendly and a good introduction to digital photography for beginners. As DPreview (2009) writes: “the Coolpix L19 is a basic budget camera with bare bones point-and-shoot functionality in an understated body.”

Speaking of the body, the camera has the approximate dimensions of 3.8 in.96.5 mm x 2.4 in.61 mm x 1.1 in.29 mm and weighs 0.130 kg (Nikon 2014). Made mostly of plastic with a 2.7-inch LCD screen/monitor, this camera is as compact as a camera can get, although the Nikon Coolpix S01 does prove that it can be pushed even further (please see my Nikon Coolpix S01 compact digital camera post for more information).

The camera also seems to available in five different colours: Bright silver (which is this camera’s colour), Shiny pink, Black metallic, Magenta (Shafer 2009) and plain silver (DPreview 2009).

Plain Silver L19 camera. Image Source: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813ZcD82WnL._AC_SX466_.jpg

It also came with a strap (currently misplaced!) and an AC adapter to transfer photos and videos to a computer.

L19 strap. Image Source: https://en.nikon.ca/p/an-cp19-strap/25770/overview

Now for the camera itself. The Coolpix L19 has a Nikkor 3.6X Optical Zoom lens, with an aperture of F/3.1-6.7 and a focal length of 6.7-24mm which is “Equivalent with 35mm [135] format picture angle: 41-145mm,” according to the manual.

It also has a zoom of 3.6X and an auto focus system that adjust to the amount of digital zoom applied. Furthermore “The Zoom Nikkor glass lens of the Coolpix L19 produces incredibly sharp, clear images, and the Macro capability of the lens lets you focus as close as 2 inches. In addition, there is a 4x digital zoom providing a combined zoom capability of over 14x,” (Boyd 2024).

The lens, like the S01, is a lens barrel that pushes out and increases the thickness to 29mm (when on) and also has a built-in lens cover, that retracts and closes when switched off. It also has an auto ISO sensitivity that is between 64-1600 and is automatically set depending on the lighting and portrait mode.  

Above the lens is the self-timer lamp (10 seconds) and AF-assist illuminator. And next to that is the internal flash, that can reach a range of 1 ft. 8 in.-23 ft, and has two settings, auto and off.

At the bottom of the lens on both sides of the lens is the speakers (three holes) and the built-in microphone (one hole).

On top of the camera is the on/off switch.

The Shutter button, which has a shutter speed of 1/2000 second and increases depending on the mode or if shaking or motion is detected to reduce blurring, owing to the built-in motion detector, which is on automatically, but can be switched off.

More interestingly is that the shutter has “Top Continuous Shooting Speed at Full Resolution,” which can take “Up to 5 shots at approx.1 frames per second” (Nikon 2024).

The other two buttons on top of the camera are the Playback button (to see and review pictures and videos) …

And the Shooting mode button (to set it to picture mode and select the mode or setting to take pictures and to set it to video (or movie) mode.

The shooting button can set the camera to Easy auto mode and Auto mode, to let the camera take over, or the user can set it to one of the 16 portrait modes.

Page 33 of the L19 manual

Each mode automatically sets the shutter speed and ISO to get the prefect shot for what it is intended to be used for as well as what the motion detector picks up.

Then there is the Smile mode, which is “The Smart Portrait System” that “combines the functions of several exclusive Nikon technologies including Nikon's innovative smile mode that releases the camera shutter at the moment that your subject smiles, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix which automatically detects and corrects for red eye, D-Lighting which compensates for excessive backlight or insufficient flash in images, and Enhanced Face Priority AF which automatically finds and focuses on up to 12 people's faces within one frame - all to ensure that portraits and group shots will always look their best” (Boyd 2024).

Page 44 of the L19 manual

Lastly is the Movie mode, that is also auto managed and can film up to 20 minutes and 45 seconds. This mode also has three modes, with different recording times.

Page 54 of L19 manual

On the back…

Is the LCD monitor, that can take pictures with 8 Megapixels and has “approx.230k-dot, TFT LCD with 5-level brightness adjustment” according to the manual. The manual also states that the frame coverage is “98 % horizontal and 98 % vertical (Compared to actual picture)” in shooting mode and 100% for both horizontal and vertical in display mode.  It also has a resolution of 230000-dots (Nikon 2024) and “makes it easy to compose shots and play them back anywhere and the high contrast display ensures that it is easily viewable - even in direct sunlight” (Boyd 2024).

The monitor is also used to display different indicators:

Page 6 of the L19 manual

The monitor is also where the images and videos are shown for review (no kidding!). Here the images could also be very lightly edited. It can be cropped, D-lighting can be applied (“It’s a function that works in-camera to balance the shadows and highlights for a more pleasing exposure. It adjusts exposures by varying degrees depending on the situation, with the aim of avoiding blown highlights and lightening shadow areas…” (Amateur Photographer 2024)), reduce the size of the image (to 640X480, 320X240 or 160X120), get ready to print (with AC adapter), start a slide show or delete. But unfortunately none of this can be done to videos (the flash is also disabled). Videos (or movies as the menu insists to call it) can just be watched and reviewed with pause, fast forward, rewind etc.

This is also where the user can go into the Set-up menu and set time, date and other settings. The navigation of this menu is as simple as using a smart phone’s set-up menu.

The monitor also has many indications for the playback system.

Page 7 of the L19 manual

Next to the monitor are an array of buttons…

On top is the electronic zoom buttons, which has several uses then just controlling the zoom function:

Page 5 of the L19 manual

The zoom function works the similar the Coolpix S01.

Page 21 of the L19 manual

It should be noted that there are restrictions to where the zoom function can be used. For instance, optical zoom is disabled in movie mode and digital zoom is disabled when using portrait, night portrait, smile and multi-shot mode!

Underneath the zoom buttons is the flash lamp (flash indicator), the menu (which is used for the light editing in display mode and set-up and in shooting mode it can be used to set the image mode.

Page 71 of the L19 Manual

Underneath that is the Multi-selector, used to navigate the menu, playback, video etc., as well as used to set the timer (left), flash (up), white balance (right), micro mode (down) and the ok button/apply selection button (middle).

Under that is the delete button, which is basically a short cut button to quickly delete images individually.

Under the camera is the tripod socket and the battery chamber and memory card slot.

The camera uses AA batteries to operate and an external SD or SDHC card, although this is optional (and recommended in my opinion) if the user wants to have more memory, because the L19 has an internal storage of 20MB.

Lastly is the side where the eyelet camera strap is found, as well as the pin cover, that, when removed, reveals the cable connector.

This cable connector works with an AC adapter that connects it to a computer to copy the images and videos over. Or at least that is what the AC adapter that comes with the camera is for because it is a USB adapter, but other adapters can be bought to help connect the camera to a printer or even a TV!

Page 56 of the L19 manual

To learn more and read all about its technical ingenuity please see the manual here:

https://cdn-10.nikon-cdn.com/pdf/manuals/coolpix/L20L19EN.pdf

If you want to learn how this camera captures pictures and records videos, please see my Nikon Coolpix S01 compact digital camera post.

As mentioned this camera is great for photographers wanting to get into digital photography, because it is affordable and easy to storage, but it does have some draw backs. One is that because of the motion detection to create less blur during shaky cam, it produces some noise (Image Resource 2009). A second is that it has no Raw image support (Camera Decision 2024), but instead sets all images as Jpeg and AVI format. Third is that it struggles with detail and colours. As Long (2009) writes: “Like its competitors, the L19 is hobbled by a low-quality lens that has trouble rendering fine detail and often produces strange, mottled color. That said, if you’ll mostly be viewing your images on a computer screen or on 4-by-6-inch prints, the L19 will yield good results.”

There are drawbacks and positives to this camera. Basically it is a camera for people who just want to take pictures for vacations and family events. But can be used by professionals who want a certain look for a project or who are looking for a challenge!

But, I, will always recommend and use this camera because, not only is it my first camera, but it is what got me interested in making films and writing. It also can be used for some interesting shots and ideas for experimental films because it has a pretty unique look and as mentioned in my Panasonic/National NV-M5 Camcorder and Olympus OM30 Film Camera posts, if you want a certain nostalgic look, why not consider using the actual camera, instead of just slapping on a filter that at times can look fake and disingenuous.

Thank you for reading and as always I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did researching it.
