8 FRAME COUNTER 8 F rame Coun ter Eac h time y ou adv ance the film, the frame counter also adv ances to the next n um- b er. It can count up to 39 frames. The num b ers 1, 12, 20, 24 and 36 are in orange, the latter four to call y our attention to the fact that rolls with those n umbers are or are almost finished.
8 FRAME COUNTER 17.
9 EXPOSURE 9 Exp osure The amoun t of light that exposes a frame is determined by the aperture and shutter sp eed. The size of the ap erture controls the amoun t of ligh t allo wed to reac h the film, while the shutter speed controls ho w long the ligh t strik es the film.
10 SHUTTER 10 Sh utter The New Canon F- 1 ’s h ybrid shutter is electronically as w ell as mechanically con- trolled. Sh utter sp eeds from 1/2000 to 1/125 sec., ” f ” 1/90 sec.) and ”B” (bulb) are mec hanically go verned, while 1/60 to 8 sees.
10 SHUTTER regardless of the exp osure duration. T o cancel shutter operation during a long exp osure, press the battery c hec k button. Mec hanical Op eration There are sev eral shutter speeds av ailable with the New Canon F-1 ev en if the bat- tery fails.
11 HO W TO CHOOSE A SHUTTER SPEED 11 Ho w to Cho ose a Sh utter Sp eed The sh utter con trols exp osure b y the length of time it remains op en. The basic function of sh utter sp eed is to pro vide correct exp osure, but you can also use it to con trol the expression of y our sub ject’s motion and to con trol the effect of camera mo vemen t.
11.2 Blurring the Sub ject’s Motion 11 HO W TO CHOOSE A SHUTT ER SPEED 11.2 Blurring the Sub ject’s Motion Blurring part of the picture can giv e a convincing sense of action. T o blur the sub- ject, simply set a sh utter sp eed whic h is to o slo w to freeze its action.
12 APER TURE Blurring part of the picture can heigh ten the sense of action. In most cases, ho w- ev er, image blur is undesirable. T o a v oid blurred pictures from camera mo vemen t, c ho ose a sh utter sp eed of at least 1/60 sec. for handheld sho oting with a standard lens.
12 APER TURE The smaller the ap erture, the wider the range of sharpness. This is illustrated b y the picture ab o ve whic h was tak en at f/22. Compare it with the photo to s righ t. This extended depth of field is esp ecially go o d for suc h sub jects as landscap es.
13 EXPOSURE MODES 13 Exp osure Mo des The New Canon F-1 is basically a man ual-exp osure camera capable of through-the- iens, full-ap erture metering and stopp ed-do wn metering with the Ey e-Lev el Finder FN.
13.2 Stopp ed-do wn Metering 13 EXPOSURE MODES [F or this mo de. the AE Power Winder FN or AE Motor Drive FN must b e attache d to the c amer a and the lens set to the ”A” mark.] 3.

18 APER TURE-PRIORITY AE 17 AE Finder FN The primary role of the AE Finder FN is to con vert the camera to aperture-priority AE or stopp ed-do wn AK. F or these tw o mo des, a shutter speed scale and, with a New FD lens moun ted, the pre-set ap erture are display ed b elow the field of v iew.
18 APER TURE-PRIORITY AE will not b e displa yed. In this case, first turn the sh utter dial to ”2000,” then back to ”A.” Notes: • Exp osure information will not b e displa yed with a differen t finder attached and the sh utter dial set on ”A.
18 APER TURE-PRIORITY AE 18.1 Stopp ed-do wn AE • If y our ey e will not b e to the eyepiece the momen t you release the sh utter, close the ey epiece sh utter b y pushing the lev er clo c kwise. This will preven t stra y light from en tering and adversely affecting the exposure.
18.2 Matc h-needle Metering 18 APER TURE-PRIORITY AE incorrect exp osure correct exp osure 18.2 Matc h-needle Metering T o meter the sub ject manually , simply disengage the shutter dial from ”A.” The sh utter sp eed scale will disapp ear, and the ap erture scale and shutter speed display will app ear to the righ t of the fie ld of view.
18 APER TURE-PRIORITY AE 18.3 Stopp ed-down (Fixed-index) Metering Note Use of the follo wing accessories is limited when the AE Finder FN is at- tac hed: • Early TS 35mm f/2.8 lenses: The fens’ shift knob will touc h the finder as y ou rotate the lens, prev en ting full rotation.
19 SHUTTER-PRIORITY AE 19 Sh utter-priorit y AE When the AE P ow er Winder FN or AE Motor Drive FN is att ac hed to the New Canon F-1, a choice of sh utter-priority AE or man ual exp osure is a v ailable according to the sho oting situation and y our p ersonal preference.
19 SHUTTER-PRIORITY AE the v arious exp osure mo des can b e used. F or ap erture-priorit y AK, first disengage the lens’ ap erture ring from the ”A” mark. Then set thg sh utter dial to ”A,” and man ually sele ct an ap erture. The camera will select the sh utter sp eed automati- cally .
19 SHUTTER-PRIORITY AE • After remo ving the p o w er winder or motor driv e, do not forget to remo v e the lens’ ap erture ring from the ”A” mark or the sh utter will not release when y ou press the sh utter button.
20 METER COUPLING RANGE 20 Meter Coupling Range With an FD 50mm f/1.4 lens and ISO 100/21 ◦ (ASA 100/21 DIN) film, the New Canon F-1’s built-in exp osure meter couples within a range of EV.- 1 (4 sec. at f/1.4) to EV 20 (1/2000 sec. at f/22). In ap erture-priority AE or stoppeddown AE, the coupling range is EV-1 to EV 19 (1/1000 sec.
21 METERING SENSITIVITY AREAS 21 Metering Sensitivit y Areas With the New Canon F-1, a special optical element in eac h fo cusing screen de- termines the metering sensitivit y area. Thus the metering area can be changed, according to the sub ect y ou are sho oting and the lens in use , simply b y replacing the fo cusing screen.
21 METERING SENSITIVITY AREAS 3. Sp ot Metering Sp ot metering is ideal for sub jects whic h require carefully-aimed, precise measure- men t. Since the metering area is 3% of the field of view, y ou can select a small, exact area from the o verall scene.
21 METERING SENSITIVITY AREAS 44.
22 EXPOSURE COMPENSA TION 22 Exp osure Comp ensation With cen ter-w eigh ted av erage metering, the camera’s meter reads the a verage brigh t- ness of the sub jects in a scene, with sp ecial emphasis placed on those in the center. Certa n ligh ting conditions, ho w ev er, ma y necessitate exp osure correction.
22 EXPOSURE COMPENSA TION 1. Manual Exposure After setting the desired sh utter sp eed, turn the ap erture ring until the aperture needle aligns with the meter needle. Y ou can now o ver- or underexpose the sub ject in one-half f/stop incremen ts simply b y turning the ap erture ring to a larger or smaller ap erture.
22 EXPOSURE COMPENSA TION 2. Exp osure Comp ensation Dial The exp osure comp ensation dial allo ws you to mak e exp osure corrections in incre- men ts as small as 1/3 f/stop. T o ma1te a correction, simply turn the dial, while pressing the lo c k release button, until the desired correction aligns with the index.
22 EXPOSURE COMPENSA TION The whole n um b ers are for increasing exp osure while the fractions are for reducing exp osure. The n um b ers ”2” and ”1/2” are equiv alent to one f/stop (or one step of the sh utter dial), while ”4” and ”1/4” are equiv alen t to t w o f/stops (or t w o steps of the sh utter dial).
22 EXPOSURE COMPENSA TION Note When it is difficult to determine exactly ho w m uc h correction to mak e, brac k et the exp osure. using any of the three methods. 4. ”Pushing” the ISO Rating There ma y b e o ccasions when, due to insufficient ligh ting, y ou are forced to use undesirably slo w sh utter sp eeds.
