Help identifying buttons/controls on my Canon 814 Super8mm

[msp1518]

My two Canon Auto Zoom 814's arrived today (purchased off eBay). Both seem to operate. Put the batteries in and the motors run.

Unfortunately, the manual i found online is not for this version of the 814. Same model, but clearly from a different generation. Nothing is the same, so I just cannot figure out what most of these buttons are for.

As mentioned in another thread, I know nothing about Super8mm. Picture of my camera is below, along with numbers placed next to the parts I am clueless about.

#7 is in red. That knob does not move on the model pictured. it does on the other camera, but not this one. Is it jammed?

Four #5, I know that turns the camera on, but what is the difference between R and RL?

Thanks for your help and please, apologies to you for being clueless. I've ordered some books on Super 8mm, but they have yet to arrive.

Hi!

#5 R = Run and RL = Run Lock (I believe in RL position the trigger remains pressed and the camera runs even if you remove your finger from the trigger.)

I'll see what I can find out about the rest.

#7: Variable Shutter Control

Additional info:

That dial is for the variable shutter. Open is fully open, 2 is half open, 4 is a quarter, and close is closed.

#1: (The switch to the right of the frame rate selector dial) Exposure Adjustment
#2: Frame counter (and set knob)
#3: Footage counter

#4: Battery check button (to the left is the battery check/indicator window)

Yours appears to be the "Auto Zoom 814 Electronic"

Pretty sure I have the manual, too, if you need it.

Forgot which site I got them from.

Edit: lol, FrankLad linked it earlier. Ta,
