6. erst SERVO EE FINDER INSTRUCTIONS English Edition The Canon Servo EE Finder is interchanged with the pentaprism section of the Canon F 1 coupled to the full aperture metering mechanism and preset to the proper f stop automatically with shutter speed pri ority It is vibration and shock proof and has fast response to light intensity because of the use of a servo motor Metering information can be read off inside the viewfinder Since the centrally weighted averaging system is used a most satisfactory exposure can be obtained when shooting scenery that includes the sky Unmanned continuous shooting such as recording for ecological and other experiments is possible through the combined use of the Motor Drive Unit Technical Data Circuit Construction 19 transistors 7 diodes 6 condensers variable resistor 4 semifixed resistors 31 fixed resistors 1 motor 1 lamp Metering Element 2 CdS photocells Situated on both sides of pentaprism eyepiece section Metering System Centrally weighted averaging system with full aperture metering Metering Range With ASA 100 film EV 2 5 f 1 2 at 1 4 sec EV 18 f 11 at 1 2000 sec Film Speed ASA 25 2000 100 200 400 800 1600 32 40 64 80 125 160 250 320 500 640 1000 1250 2000 EE System Shutter speed priority controlled by Servo Motor Preset to proper f stop Shutter Speed 1 2000 1 sec B EE circuit is dis connected at B Manu

8. ration 1 First decide the shutter speed Use either the main switch or lever switch Full aperture metering is used When the main switch is at the red dot position the power circuit is disconnected However if the lever switch is depressed the circuit is connected and metering starts by motor drive When the proper f stop is obtained the motor and aperture needle will stop When you release your finger from the lever switch the aperture needle becomes clamped Proper exposure is obtained when the shutter release button is depressed m This method is convenient when shooting is con tinued with a fixed f stop When the main switch is set at L the lever switch is also fixed at L position and contin uous metering becomes possible Depress the shutter release button after the motor drive has stopped and the aperture needle has pointed to the proper value When the lever switch is returned to its former position the main switch is released from its locked condition and reset at the red dot m When shooting with the main switch in a locked condition use a shutter speed faster than 1 15 sec If slower shutter speeds than 1 8 sec are used the picture will be over exposed because the mirror springs up and cuts off the light coming to the CdS photocell which in turn activates the motor and shifts the aperture to the full opening side When the main switch is set at M the EE circuit is disconnected and the
