Instructions for Handling Regular 8mm Motion Picture Films

Cinechrome 40a (Kodachrome 40)
Use indoors with a movie light (3400K) or in daylight with a No. 85 filter.  Use this film to make color movies for projection.  It has moderate speed and extremely high sharpness.

Caution:  Process this film in K-14 process only.
Handling
- Load and unload your camera in subdued light.  The light side of the film must always face the camera lens.  Read your camera instruction manual.  Before closing the camera, run 3 or 4 inches of film to be sure the film advances properly and is securely attached to the take up spool.  Some cameras, such as the Canon Zoom 8, will not advance film unless the film door is closed.  For cameras that perform in this manner, you should manually advance the film by turning the spools with your fingers.  To expose the film completely, run it through your camera twice.  The first time you will expose 25 feet along half its width.  When the film has been through your camera once, reload the film into the camera and run it through a second time to expose the other half.  When you have exposed both halves of the roll, replace the rubber band around the film and put it in the can.  Have the film processed promptly after exposure.  Don't keep your movie camera and film in a hot place, such as the glove compartment or rear window of a car.
