An additional component called the Magic
Switch is supplied with the Power Set
to enable you to set the quick-action range.
A further facility is slow-motion. This is
really triple quick-action filming at
54 frames a second for later projection at
18frames a second. Slow-motion with
the Nizo camera lets you follow very quick
movements which are hard to watch with
the naked eye.

Trick shots and trick films are no problem
with the automatic time lapse technique
of Nizocameras and
a Braun flash unit
During the period of time between
shooting single frames using the automatic
time lapse facility, you can manipulate
inanimate subjects. For example, objects
can be brought to life providing puppet
or animated film shows. When using this
technique you can employ a flash unit
which provides illumination equivalent to
daylight; this removes the need for
lamps which produce heat or spotlights
which could harm the subject.
The Nizo camera incorporates a socket for
an electronic flash synchronization lead.
High performance and quick recycling are
called for here, and these requirements
are met by the Braun 2000 Vario Computer
(illustrated) or the Braun F 800. Note,
too, that the accumulator or power supply
of the F 800 can also be used to power
the Nizo camera.
The variable shutter of Nizocameras
gives time exposures, and fades
The variable shutter of the Nizo camera
is a disc with an open sector which rotates
in front of the film aperture; its angle
of opening may be altered by means of a
lever on the camera side. If you fully
close the open sector while taking pictures,
the film will receive a gradually-decreasing
amount of light and finally none at all; in
other words a fade-out has been achieved.
A fade-in can be carried out by reversing
the procedure.
If you place the lever in this position, the
open sector is set at a smaller than
usual angle. The aperture is automatically
opened up by one stop. This procedure
makes grey filters unnecessary in excessive
light; you can manipulate depth of
field and sharper reproduction becomes
possible in certain conditions.
Even though very little difference may be
seen in the rangefinder, movies with
good definition will appear on the screen.
With the lever locked in this position the
shutter remains open until the automatic
time lapse system advances the next
frame for exposure. The Nizo camera
provides for exposure times of 1/Sth sec.
continuously variable up to 1minute.

If you make a fade-out and then wind back
the amount of film you have used, and
finally add a fade-in on the same length of
film, you get a double exposure on the
projection screen. This is easier than it
sounds, because the Nizo camera does it all
automatically. All you need to do is press
the pushbutton to start the fade-out follow-
ed by the rewind, then within 3.5 secs, you
are ready to press the pushbutton again

These pulses drive the Braun FP 7
projector synchronously with the tape
recorder. Meanwhile Y OL i can connect the
Synton FP Coupler between the tape,
recorder and FP 7; it gives out one pulse
every fourth frame. Our illustration
shows the Synton FP acting as a base for
the Braun projector. More details about
