What is an 8 mm camera?

A camera using super 8 mm film.

Super 8 mm film, referred to as Super 8 film or Super 8 film for short, is an improved 8 mm film with a width of 8 mm but a picture area 50% larger than that of standard 8 film. 1965, in order to make full use of the film area, enlarge the picture, reduce the projection magnification, improve the definition and improve the particle phenomenon, Hysmans Kodak Company designed and produced this new type of 8 mm film. Its photographic picture is 5.39 mm wide and 4.03 mm high. Due to the need to expand the screen area, the film feeding hole has also been improved accordingly, and the original trajectory of mark 8 has been moved from the right to the left, thus reducing the area of the unit hole on the film.
