Nizo Camcorder

[gcollin]

Today I obtained a [SIZE=+2][/SIZE]Nizo Heliomatic 8 S 2 R, I have scoured the vast data-bases of google with no returned information.
Does anybody know where I can find a owners manual from an online source?. Also, when I got it there was film in it (probably been sitting in the poor guy for 20 years), is it worth trying to get the film developed and where could I do such a thing?.

Thanks in advance!.

It's not a camcorder, it's just a camera. You probably don't need a manual for that particular camera, because a lot of the functions are common with other similar cameras. It's not entirely unlike a Bolex H8 (not a reflex H8 RX) in basic operation. It's a Standard 8 camera (also called Regular 8 and Double 8, but not Double Super 8).

There's a description of it here (link) written by Stephanie Marriott.

If you post pictures of the different controls I'll try to explain what they do.

Are there any perforated markings at the end of the film? It may be difficult to identify what film is loaded.


Good luck,
Helen
