The Booster T meter is in operation for speeds on the orange scale only, the unit switches to the camera's own meter when speeds on the white scale are selected.

The unit has two shutter speed scales, orange, for exposures of 60 - 3 seconds and white for speeds of 1 - 1/60 second. The Booster T finder has two CdS photocells situated either side of the eyepiece providing full-screen measurement. The meter range for 100 ASA is EV -3.5 (f1.2 at 15 sec.) to EV 10 (f22 at 1/2 sec.). The Serve EE is powered by an external battery pack.īooster T Finder Provides meter readings down to 60 seconds and utilises a built-in mechanism to time the exposure. The maximum aperture of the lens has to be set on the meter. The M setting is also used when attaching the Servo EE arm to the camera. The unit is operated by a main switch and a lever switch: with the main switch at 'off' a reading can be taken by depressing the lever, the aperture to be used is fixed when the lever is released moving the main switch to the L position depresses the lever and continuous reading and setting of the aperture takes place with the main switch set to M the EE circuit is disconnected and the aperture can be set manually (for instance a reading could be taken by depressing the lever switch, adjusted due to external factors, and the aperture set manually). The Servo EE is most suited to unmanned operation in conjunction with a motor drive, an eyepiece shutter is used when in this mode. The view-finder shows the shutter speed selected and a needle moving over an aperture scale. The Servo EE finder has two CdS photocells situated either side of the eyepiece providing a centre-weighted full-screen measurement. The Server EE unit replaces the standard pentaprism, a linkage arm connects between the finder and the aperture lever in the camera throat which in turn couples to the aperture signal lever of the FD lenses (see diagram below) the finder passes the correct aperture setting to use by moving the aperture lever. Servo EE Finder Provides automatic, shutter priority, metering. The F-1 is a system camera with a large range of accessories. In 1981 a new and quite different camera was introduced called the New F-1. This has minor improvements over the 1971 version - film speed setting to 3200, film memo holder on the camera back, plastic tip to film advance lever.

First produced in 1971, a second version was introduced in 1976, usually called the F-1n. This was the top-of-the-range single-lens reflex from Canon designed to compete with the Nikon. f5.6, 100-200 mm Canon FD SSC, iris diaphragm to f22.f5.6, 300 mm Canon FD SSC, iris diaphragm to f22.f4, 200 mm Canon FD SSC, iris diaphragm to f22.f2.5, 135 mm Canon FD SSC, iris diaphragm to f22.f2.8, 100 mm Canon FD SSC, iris diaphragm to f22.White face model, marked 'O' for automatic iris setting. f2, 35 mm Canon FD SC, iris diaphragm to f16.f3.5, 28 mm Canon FD SC, iris diaphragm to f16.f2.8, 24 mm Canon FD SSC, iris diaphragm to f16.Switch on camera to select stop-down metering mode, the meter needle in the viewfinder is then aligned to a fixed point.
