Camera Movement Lubrication

In general, camera movements should be lightly lubricated at the start of each working day using one drop of the special oil supplied by PANAVISION in each oil well.

If more than 20,000' of film (6000m) is shot per day then it is advisable to oil the camera more often.

When cameras are run at speeds greater than 24 fps they should be lubricated more often.

If, when lubricating a camera, a regular clockwise progression is made there is less chance that any oil well will be missed.

With most PANAFLEX camera types it will be found easier, or necessary, to remove the gate pressure pad in order to access the register pin oil points.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVER-LUBRICATE CAMERA MOVEMENTS.
