How to Transfer 8mm Footage to a Canon DSLR in Real Time

Wrap your school principal around lensman James Miller ’s tutorial , and you ’re half - way to transferring dusty reels of 8 mm family videos to digital . Of naturally , you could always yield someone to scan underframe for you , but Miller ’s way is a lot more low-cost — you just need a sealed amount of technical school nous and equipment .

As you may see around the 1.30min mark , Miller unscrew his genus Lens , and taped an element to the projector ’s genus Lens tube-shaped structure . A cloth over the Canon 5D mk II , and his dwelling video was transferring to digital without any light leakage . A superb , if rather complicated , way to digitize those memories . See one of his converted examples below . [ VimeoviaPlanet5DviaPetaPixel ]
