Getting Started Preparing the Film If your film is not in good condition (broken, damaged perforation, misaligned, taped overlaps, bent, thick splices etc.), please check and fix the problem first. Before recording, it is good practice to use a lint-free cloth and/or anti- static film cleaner to remove dirt particles, clean any processing chemical residues, and to remove any debries on the film in order to prevent them showing up on recorded videos.
