After going through some stuff in my grandparents attic, we came across an old 8mm film camera. Or it could be super 8, I"m not sure. I was hoping someone would be able to tell me some things about it. On the front it says ETONA 8 (XX Auto Zoom - EE). It has one lense on it that reads "ETONAR ZOOM 1:1.9 No. 14024. I have looked inside it and can see where the film is loaded and it actually had some film in it. Also, i cranked it and pushed the button and it does run through the spools. Can someone give me some advice to this camera?
1. Is it 8mm and not super 8 (hopefully i'm not being an idiot and that is the same thing)?
2. How do I properly load film and shoot?
3. How do I treat the film? Is it just like a 35mm still camera where the film can't be exposed and such?
4. Where can I buy film for it?
Any other advise would be greatly appreciated.
