It's a MOVIE camera, not a video camera.

"Video" is the electronic representation of a moving image through the modulation of a waveform. Your camera uses film. Technically it's an 8mm camera, the progenitor of Super 8, distinguished by outsized perfs that diminish the image capture area. Video recording would not effectively exist for another eight years, when Ampex released Quad for broadcast use.
