MA J OR FEATURES
OF
1. Unique Zoom Lens
This lens has an unrivaled speed of Fl.7 and four-time zoom range from 10mm to 40
mm. This is extended to include the focal lengths of 6.5mm to 26mm with the use of
a wi de angle attachment. And the climax of such versatility is the consistent, unwa -
vering focus you obtain from one end of the zoom scale to the other. These hitherto in-
compatible technical features were harnessed into this miracle lens by an exclusive and
patented design. This lens combines the capacities of 6X zoom and, with the wide angle
converter, as many as eight individual lenses.
2 . Ultra-Precise Electric Eye Mechanism
Cinematography at consistently accurate exposures has been made possible by incor-
porating an Electric Eye system coupled to a highly sensitive Cadmium Su lfide Exposure
Meter. This meter wi ll adjust to film indexes from ASA 5 to 320 (D IN 8 to 26). The
meter sensitivity ranges from LV 6.5 to LV 14.4 for an ASA 100 or DIN 21 film. As
an additional safeguard in picture taking , a warning light window has been provided
in the viewfinder. Correct Exposure range is indica ted by a blue light. A red light shows
if there is too much or inadequate illumination for the fiim in use. The CdS meter is
ac ti vated by a rep laceable 1.3 vo lt mercury battery (Nationa l M-N type), av ailable in
many countries.
3. Motor Zoom and Film Advance
The motor zoom and film advance can be operated independently because they are
powered by two separate micromotors . Four 1.5 volt UM-3 (pen light) batteries are used
as a power source for both. The 10mm to 40mm zoom range can be covered in 3.5
seconds. Manual zoom is also possible.
4. Frame Speed
Four frame speeds are possible, 12, 16, 24 frames per second and single frame.
S . Lens Aperture Control
The photographer has a wide cho ice of controls : 1. Automatic, for full aperture range
from Fl.7 to F22 . 2. Manual , for full aperture range . 3. By clos ing the gap between
the scales on t he aperture dial the functioning range of the electric eye system can be
intentionally limited, an exclusive with the Canon Motor Zoom 8 EEE.
