SALES FEATURES
1
Fast and sharp F1.8 5-times zoom lens extends 12.6X,
6.2-78mm with choice of optional converters
Exclusive Canon Spectra-coated lens delivers superior resolution
and color balance. Easy to use; focus once and camera stays
focused through wide-angle, telephoto and zoom shooting from
9.5-47.5mm. Optional converters extend zoom range to 6.2-
31mm with O.65X Wide-Converter and to 15.6-78mm with 1.6X
Tele-Converter.
2
Battery-powered zoom and film drive
Four penlight batteries power two highly efficient micromotors
that drive the zoom and filming mechanisms. Easy-to-check
film transport indicator shows proper film advance. Squeeze
trigger when ready to shoot; no crank winding. Film-finish
warning indicator lights up in viewfinder when footage counter
shows two feet of film remaining.
3
Highly accurate automatic exposure control with
servo EE meter through the lens-and-aperture
No deviation between real light and light measured by the CdS
photocell because it is the same light that has passed through
the taking lens to expose the film. Accuracy is enhanced tur-
ther because the CdS photocell is located just inside aperture
panels close to focal plane shutter. Unitized power system
has eliminated need for mercury battery. The film drive pen-
light batteries power zooming mechanism and servo
EE
meter.

Manual aperture control for advanced filming tech-
niques: high-key, low-key shooting and fadings
Any desired
f
/stop can be obtained simply by turning aperture
control ring. Fade-ins and fade-outs are possible because
aperture diaphragms are completely closed.
Wide choice of filming speeds
For high speed shooting of 36 fps, set dial at "SLOW MO·
TION". For standard sound film, set at "24", and for normal
shooting, set at "18". The advantage of slow motion and
24 fps shooting is that careful analysis of fast-moving action
is possible, such as athletic events, racing events, and when-
ever blur-free panning is required. Film titles, animation film-
ing and time sequence shooting are accomplished by using the
camera's single frame action.
