Canon EF 35mm Single Lens Reflex Camera Instructions
Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest automatic 35mm SLR cameras available today. The Canon EF is a complex instrument having a multitude of advanced features, yet it is incredibly simple to use. Just select a shutter speed and the camera adjusts its own diaphragm for you automatically under all kinds of lighting situations, from bright sunlight at the beach to dim candlelight. You are assured of perfect exposures every time. Now you can concentrate on picture taking and stop worrying about mechanics. But before you actually load any film into your new camera, familiarize yourself thoroughly with the Canon EF and this instruction manual. Handle the camera, practice focusing, and use the winding lever. And, by all means, refer to the instructions often during this orientation period. When used correctly, the Canon EF will provide you with perfectly exposed photographs for years to come. We at Canon hope you receive as much enjoyment in using the EF as we had in designing it. And we hope your involvement in photography continues to grow.
