Canon Canodate E (Later Model) (1973)

  • Alt

It uses a 40mm f/2.8 (5 elements in 4 groups) lens. The shutter is the electronically controlled Seiko ESF. The exposure meter uses a CdS cell for electronic exposure. Metering range of 1 to 17 EV (at ISO 100). Film speed can range from ISO 25 to 400. The finder has 0.6x magnification with 84% coverage which also contains parallax correction marks. It is powered by 2x 1.3V mercury cells batteries.

Improved version of the Canodate E(released in December 1970). The “N” is for “New.” The camera can imprint the date at the moment of exposure.

The focusing ring is black instead of white, and the “E” in the “Canodate E” designation on the camera front is in red. The date dial on the camera front is colored for easier reading. All these details distinguish the camera from the previous Canodate E. When the battery is exhausted, the shutter button locks to prevent picture-taking.

Other than the above characteristics, the camera is the same as the original Canodate E.

Canon EX Auto (1972)

  • Alt

An improved version of the EX EE, the EX AUTO was very popular with beginners who previously had difficulty understanding SLR cameras. The EX AUTO had maximum-aperture TTL metering and shutter speed-priority AE.The lens’ maximum aperture f-number was corrected automatically when the lens was attached to the camera. Another improvement was the addition of the EX 125mm f/3.5 interchangeable telephoto lens.

The lens focusing ring was also coupled to autoflash metering. With the dedicated Speedlite D mounted on the hot shoe and the EX 50mm f/1.8 lens attached to the camera, the CAT System automatically obtained the correct flash exposure for the subject distance. Taking pictures at night became as easy as taking pictures during the day.
