Nikon Image Converter user manual Does the Mini35Digital require a power supply?

Q:Does the Mini35Digital require a power supply?

A:Yes. You will need a battery to run the motor of the Mini35Digital. Each camera connecting kit includes a battery mount specific to the brand of camera so no new batteries or chargers are needed, simply the batteries you already have for your system; one for the camera and one for the Mini35Digital.

Q:What will the image look like as compared to a digital video look?

A:A textbook-perfect digital video image is uniformly sharp, background and foreground. The professional 35mm motion picture film “look” is sharp but less starkly so. Capturing the image in 35mm format with a 35mm lens also allows you to

capture gradations of focus (depth of field) like the human eye sees images on a image plane.

Tip For the best effect when composing a shot, aim for out-of-focus objects in both the foreground and background.

Q:How can I avoid having the grain of the projection glass showing up on the tape?

A:Don’t stop the taking lens down above 4 -

5.6.Regulate the light as much as possible with the relay lens only (XL1(s) version). Use neutral density filters when there is too much light.

Q:Are there differences between the Canon XL1 and XL1S when using the Mini35Digital image converter?
