Hi to everyone, Im new in this and I have lots of questions.
How long is the largest film I can get, 8, 9 minutes?.
My camera is a Canon310KL, do you know from what year it is?. I have inherited it and i dont even know how it works. Thanks a lot.

Hi Novata,

A super 8 cartidge contains 50 feet of film and its filmming time depends on the number of frame a second you film at.

At 24 fps, which is standard the film will last 2 mins 30 seconds, at 18 fps the film will last 3 mins 20 seconds.

You can film at 9 frames per second and the film should last roughly 7 minutes, but if your projector doesnt run at 9 fps then the film will appear to be running to fast. Also high speeds give you higher qaulity.
