When Masaya and Manami met in the car in the first episode of Tokyo Tower, what model was the Canon SLR camera that Manami used to take pictures of Tokyo Tower?

This is the Canon a-1

Type: Fully electronically controlled 35mm auto-exposure focus plane shutter single-lens reflex camera.

Lens: CANON? FD 50mm F1.4, minimum aperture F22, minimum focusing distance 0.45 meters, structure of 7 elements in 6 groups. It adopts the interchangeable Canon mount and can be installed with FD, FL and R series lenses. The FD lens has open metering, while the FL lens can only contract the aperture metering (automatic exposure is possible).

Exposure mode: shutter speed priority, aperture priority, aperture-shrunk automatic, programmed, flash automatic and metering manual, up to 6 modes. ?

Viewfinder: Fixed eye-level pentaprism viewfinder with split image and micro-edge ring. To replace the focusing screen, you need to disassemble the fuselage. The viewing range is about 93.5%, the magnification is 0.83 times (when the 50mm lens is at infinity), and the diopter is -1.0 degrees. There are 6 types of interchangeable focusing screens and 10 types of diopter correcting viewpieces. The eyepieces have built-in curtain-type light shields. ?

Viewing information: The lower part of the viewfinder outside the field of view uses a red LED to display the shutter speed, aperture value, B door (blub? Press the shutter button or metering button halfway to turn on the light meter without metering delay. The viewfinder display can be turned off without affecting actual shooting. There is an exposure memory button. ?

Metering system: Silicon photonic device (SPD) center weighted average metering. When using ISO100 film, the metering range is from EV-2 (8 seconds, F1.4) to EV18 (1/1000 seconds) , F16).

Film sensitivity range: ISO6 to 12800, 1/3EV increment, with locking mechanism.

Exposure compensation: ±2EV, 1/4 to 4, 1/3EV step-up. ?

Shutter: Fully electronically controlled 4-axis horizontal travel focal plane curtain shutter, with speeds from 1/1000 seconds to 30 seconds and B door, with vibration reduction and noise reduction devices. Flash sync is 1/60 second, FP, M level is 1/30 second.

Selfie: The electronic Selfie takes about 10 seconds and has a red Selfie indicator light that can be released midway.

Others: Battery detection button, depth of field preview button, multiple exposure mechanism, Selfie indicator light. The film winding angle is 120° and the preparation angle is 30°, which can complete the film winding action multiple times. The counter is an additive type and automatically returns to zero. When the film is ejected, the counter decreases to display the number of frames and stops counting when exposed multiple times.

Power supply: 1 6V (4SR44/4LR44) battery.

Accessories: FD series lens, copy, close-up shutter and other devices, film winding motor MA, film winder A, A2, automatic flash 199A and other ***9 types, wireless remote control LC-1 , external battery box A, data back.

Volume: 141×91.5×47.5 mm.

Weight: 620g including battery, about 860g with FD50mm F1.4 lens.

Price: 115,000 yuan.

Manufacturer: Canon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan, sold in 1978.

Features Review

Canon launched the AE-1 in 1976, which put modern electronic cameras on the road to microcomputerization

After that, it launched the AE-1 in 1978 The A-1 model with more complete functions makes it the company's most automated A-series camera before the Canon T70. A-1 completely eliminated people's doubts about electronic cameras and won the trust of some professional photographers, thus confirming that Canon will rely on cutting-edge microelectronics technology to enter the professional field.

Determination of the professional camera market.

The A-1 type uses an ultra-high integrated circuit (Pure-I2L) in the central processing unit (CPU).

Due to the use of a digital microcomputer, it can make complex A variety of automatic exposure functions are integrated into one, and it becomes the world's first true programmed automatic exposure SLR camera that can select the aperture and shutter speed by the camera. A-1

has a larger metering range, from EV-2 to EV18 (ISO100), so you can take most of the night scene photos using automatic mode. This machine can be equipped with a powerful motor MA for high-speed photography of 5 frames per second, which can meet the needs of professionals. It took Canon five years to develop this high-performance SLR camera in cooperation with the Texas Instruments Company of the United States. It has about 4,400 microcircuits in the machine, making full use of digital computers. Advantages to achieve a variety of automatic functions

. Due to the use of automated production line processing and manufacturing, the cost does not increase too much due to high performance.

The reasonable price and the echo of other A-series cameras such as the AE-1 type have caused the unprecedented sales of Canon's 35mm SLR

machines. By 1984, A-series cameras set a record of more than 8 million units sold.

?

The disadvantage of the A-1 type is that during manual exposure, the metering system only links with the shutter speed and displays the measured aperture value, and does not really link with the aperture. So it is very easy to make mistakes in exposure. The depth of field prediction device is also poorly designed

. When the depth of field prediction lever is pushed down, you can only shoot in the manual aperture setting. If you switch to other automatic settings at this time, the camera circuit will be locked and 6 "E" error messages will be displayed in the viewfinder. As a result, the camera cannot move. At this time, you need to switch to manual gear or expose multiple times to release it.

Due to the automated production of standard parts, the unique feature of Canon's A-series cameras is that most of the accessories can be used universally across the entire range of cameras.

Moreover, all A-series cameras have canceled the backup mechanical shutter, so their dependence on electricity has increased.

A series cameras do not have TTL control flash function.
