indication that

pertains to the employed film speed.

Note: Some cine cameras possess faster exposure times due to a narrower rotating shutter angle (angle of light transmitting portion). It is important to know the accurate film speed versus shutter angle value for your camera in order to determine proper exposure. Refer to the camera operating instructions, maker's catalogue, etc. for shutter speed information.

Shutter angle and exposure calculation:

Note: Standard theatrical cine film speed is 24 fps at 1/50 sec. This position is indicated by a red line on the scale.
