1 ATTACHING THE LENS

1 Attaching the Lens

To remove the body cap, turn it counterclockwise until it stops and pull it oﬀ. To

reattach, align the red dot on the cap with the camera’s red dot. Then lightly push

the cap in and turn it fully clockwise.

Turn the rear lens cap in the direction of the arrow until it stops and pull it oﬀ. To

reattach, align the arrow on the cap with the lens’ red dot. Then lightly push the

cap in and turn it fully clockwise.

To mount the lens, align its red positioning point with the camera’s red dot and

turn the lens in the direction of the arrow until it stops and the lens release button

pops out. To remove the lens, turn it counterclockwise while pressing the lens re-

lease button.

CAUTION

Do not mount the lens if the red dot inside the camera mount and the red line

on the stop-down slide are showing. In this case, push in the stopdown slide so that

it locks in the normal (retracted) position and these warning marks can no longer

be seen.

2 BATTERY

2 Battery

2.1 Loading the Battery

The action grip of the camera also serves as a battery chamber cover and therefore

must be removed to load a battery. To do this, press the release button and lift up

the grip.

Use one of the batteries listed below or an equivalent of another brand:

Lithium 6V Duracell PX 28L

Alkaline - manganese 6V Eveready (UCAR)

No. A544 IEC 4LR44

Silver Oxide 6V Eveready (UCAR)

No. 544,

Durqceli PX 28,

IEC 4SR44

To ensure proper contact, wipe the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth before

loading. Load a new battery so that its terminals are in the directions indicated by

the diagram inside the battery chamber. Insert the negative end ﬁrst, then push

down and insert the positive end. The camera will not function if the battery is

loaded incorrectly.

Then slide the action grip’s tab into the guide hole as shown, and lower the grip

until it locks in place.

2 BATTERY 2.2 Checking the Battery

2.2 Checking the Battery

The battery can be checked with the shutter dial at any setting other than ”A”, and

at any ASA/ISO ﬁlm speed setting. With the shutter dial on ”B,” battery check is

possible only after the ﬁlm has been advanced. To check the battery, press the check

button for about three seconds while looking in the viewﬁnder. Battery power is

suﬃcient when the meter needle is above the battery check index. The weaker the

battery, the lower the needle. However, even if the battery is weak, exposure will

still be correct as long as the shutter is released when you press the shutter button.

If the meter needle rests at or below the index, the battery is almost exhausted. In

this case, have a new battery ready.

With normal use the battery should last about one year. Battery po’wer may de-

crease, however, at temperatures below 0◦C (32◦F). In this case, load a new battery

and keep the camera warm until you are ready to shoot. Do not throw the original

battery away; keep it as a spare. Alternate the two batteries, keeping the one that

is not in use warm. Although a battery may not perfomm well in the cold, it may

work normally again at higher temperatures. Lithium batteries are recommended

for use at low temperatures.

IMPORTANT

The New Canon F- 1 can be used even if the battery fails simply by removing the

exhausted battery from the camera. The mechanically controlled shutter speeds are

1/2000 to 1/125 sec., ”S” (1/90 sec.) and ”B” (bulb).

Notes:

•Remove the battery if you do not expect to use the camera for about three

weeks or longer.

•Do not try to take the battery apart and never dispose of it in ﬁre.

2.2 Checking the Battery 2 BATTERY

Try to make a habit of checking the battery at the followingtimes:

•After loading a new battery.

•If the shutter won’t function with the selftimer/lock lever on ”A.”

•Before and after making many long exposures at slow speeds other than ”B.”

•When you are using the camera at low temperatures.

•Before shooting important events.

•When the camera is used frequently.

•After storing the camera for a long time.

•Before going on a trip.

The battery check button also serves to cancel the self-timer, meter reading, illu-

mination of viewﬁnder information (”LIGHT” setting of meter mode selector), and

shutter operation during long exposures. The circuit is cancelled the moment you

press the button, and the second curtain will close when you remove your ﬁnger.

The shutter will not be released if you press the shutter button while pressing the

battery check button.

3 SHUTTER RELEASE AND SELF-TIMER/LOCK LEVER

3 Shutter Release and Self-timer/Lock Lever

The self-timer/lock lever of the camera has three settings. With the lever at ”A,”

press the shutter button halfway to activate the meter. To release the shutter, gen-

tly press the shutter button all the way down. When the level is at ”L,” the shutter

button is locked. It is advisable to turn the lock lever to ”L” when the camera is

not in use to prevent accidental shutter release and battery consumption. With the

lever at ”S,” the camera’s 10-second self-timer can be activated simply by pressing

the shutter button. For further details on self-timer photography.

Shutter release is electromagnetic as long as there is a battery in the camera. Once

the battery is removed, the camera switches to mechanical release, and only those

speeds which are mechanically controlled can be used. The shutter button has a

threaded socket in the center to accept a standard cable release.

IMPORTANT

The New F- 1 has a built-in safety circuit which prevents shutter release if the

lens aperture ring is on the ”A” mark and a power drive is not attached.

First push the advance lever out to its 30◦stand-oﬀ position To advance the ﬁlm,

turn the advance lever all the way to the right in one continuous 139◦stroke or

several short ones. This also cocks the shutter and prepares the diaphragm and

mirror for the next shutter release. The ﬁlm must be advanced fully to the next

frame or the shutter will not release.
