NEED HELP WITH Beaulieu 4008 ZM II

**jenniena** · October 27th, 2002, 11:35 PM

Does anyone know how to use the FADE-IN/OUT and the DISSOLVE features on this camera? I was unable to download the manual online and need help...

Thanks!

In order to perform the in-camera fades...

There is a lever on top of the camera, it shifts from back to forward...by doing so while "filming" you will perform a fade out.

Holding the lever in the forward position and then releasing will perform a fade in.

You need a rewind knob to perform the disolves.

I might have an extra manual I can send you, email me.

You will definitely need a rewind knob, unless you want to risk turning it with a small screwdriver. It can be done, but be very careful about it.

Last I talked ot him, Irv Higdon has a few of the rewind knobs. http://www.ijmincorporated.com/

I can email you a copy of the manual that I found online. Or you can try downloading it from my site:

Thanks, Cal, for making the Beaulieu manual available for everyone to download. That's a fine demonstration of the S8 online community at work.

I still haven't shot a frame of film on my 4008ZMII since having it repaired last year! Mine is rigged for external battery power, and (a long story) I no longer have any batteries or a charger. Must get one soon to put this camera through its paces. The guy in France who sold me the camera initially needs $140 for a replacement battery and charger, so I need to cough up the cash soon.

I have acquired a rewind knob, but unfortunately I haven't been able to use it yet.

Jenniena, what lens did you get with your camera? Mine has the Schneider.

I have one drawing could interest you too.

I scanned it from 4008 service manual (I have all manuals from double 8 Beaulieu to R16 one):
