1440p f1 2019 images3/14/2023 ![]() They very rarely need any servicing and (like the more modern Canon 5D series) they are workhorses. See the manual exertpt for a detailed explantion below: Features This mode is activated by ensuring that the stop-down slide is in the “open” position. This form of shooting will be familiar to any film shooter. The secont form of metering is Stopped-down (Fixed Index) metering. Correct exposure at f16 (for example) would be when the needle and the circle are both on f16. The important point to note here is that the centre of the graph, isn’t correct exposure. You then need to select the shutter speed to intersect the needle. The first, match-needle metering will present you with a circle over the current aperture. There are two modes of operation for the meter when in manual shooting mode. However, once you understand how it works, you are able to glean more information than that of just about any other camera of this era. The metering system on this camera isn’t as intuitive as other consumer grade cameras. The needle swinging across the bottom to designate the correct shutter speed. When in aperture priority mode the meter looks as shown in the image below. ![]() I shoot around 95% of all my photos (with a digital camera) in aperture priority mode, so this makes a huge difference. You can set the aperture on the lens and the camera will calculate the required shutter speed. However, should the batteries go flat you are able to operate the camera down to a shutter speed of 1/125. The Canon F1 New that I am reviewing does have the advantage of aperture priority mode and an electronic shutter. Unique for the time this camera has an almost all manual approach to photography. While newer plastic cameras need caution when handling, this camera will take drop after drop, shedding only a fleck or two of paint. This makes the wear (caused by using the camera) become a feature, reminding you of all the times you’ve held it. As the camera wears, the black painted exterior wears through to a beautiful yellow brass. With this weight, you gain confidence in the ability of the camera to withstand almost any environment. When compared to something like an Olympus OM-1 at 540g body weight, it is about 300g heavier. You can skip down now…īut, unfortunately, with a tank-like construction, comes weight. If I was to end this paragraph here, that is all you would need to know.
