The New 8mm Cjnon Auto Zoom 1014 Electronic is a Super 8 movie
camera o^ extraordinary nigh quaiity It was conceived on the basis of the
experience gained with the Canon Auto Zoom 814 Electronic
The full range of Canon's technological resources was employed to develop
ITS lens whose zoom ratio is 10 times and its speed is f/1.4, the fastest in
this class The resolving power and ability to reproduce color are also
without parallel.
With its built-in rewinding and variable shutter control mechanisms, lap
dissolves are possible Built-in mechanisms such as variable shutter control,
macro-shooting system, built-in flash circuit that synchronizes to singleframe shooting, and accessories such as Interval Timer E, Self-Timer E and
many others are constantly expanding the range of its movie making
possibil ities
1 10-Time Compact Zoom Lens with Excellent Resolving Power
* Although 10 times is considered a high magnification in a zoom lens.
Its filter diameter is only 58mm and is very compact. In trying to achieve
better resolving power, half of the lens components are newly developed
glasses, and Super Spectra Coating was applied to eliminate ghost and flare
completely.
^ TTL Servo EE of High Precision Metering
^ TTL metering which measures the incoming light through the lens is
employed and CdS photocells are placed behind the diaphragm and dose
to the focal plane for more precision. An EE system with the Servo meter
curately controls the aperture, and since this system is more powerful
an former ones, the minimum diaphragm aperture of f/32 became
possible. An ail-transistor bridge circuit which remains stable during
temperature and voltage changes is adopted to make pictures always
steady, even at the high speed of 54 fps.

J Bright and Accurate Viewfinder Information
' The dperture of the eyepiece was enlarged ro increase the brightness
of the viewfinder and for easier reading. It has the split-image screen which
is easy to focus even in dark places, and the rangefinder is interchangeable
with the microprism screen.
Meter information, such as over and under-exposure warning marks,
aperture scale, meter needle, film end warning lamp, film transport indi
cator lamp and shutter angle indicator can be easily read at a glance.
High Speed 54-fps Instant SIow-Motion Shooting
^ Ordinary shooting speed is changed to sudden slow-motion shooting
by pulling down the switch and, compared to other cameras, it shoots with
more definition in slow motion.
C Macro-Shooting System Simplifies Close-Ups
Up to now, macro-shooting had been a field in which many
accessories and advanced techniques were required, but with the Canon
Auto Zoom 1014 Electronic, it is done by simply switching the zooming
ring, so that you can easily make interesting close-ups in your movies.
1 Synchronized Flash Shooting
' The flash synchronization socket is built-in *or single-frame shooting,
and is used for titling or for animation films.
Q Remote Control Accessories Expand the Range of Shooting
^ The’magnetic release mechanism of this camera enables you to use
remote control accessories.
With the Self-Timer E, the photographer himself can enter the picture. The
Interval Timer E, and the Time Lapse Programmer are used for shooting
at fixed time intervals. All these greatly expand the range of movie
making possibilities.

Setting-Up
1 How to Use the Handgrip
* The handgrip also serves as a battery chamber. It is automatically
locked firmly when turned out. To fold it, push the handgrip lock up and
return it to the former position.
If you should have any difficulty in folding the handgrip, push it forward
once while pushing the handgrip lock up, and then fold it to the former
position.
0 Loading the Batteries
^ Prepare six penlight (size AA) batteries which are the source of energy
for the film drive system, the power zooming system, and the exposure
meter. Insert four batteries in the handgrip and two in the battery chamber
at the side of the camera body.
• Remove the battery chamber cover at the bottom of the handgrip by
turning it counterclockwise with a coin.
Insert the batteries confirming the position of the poles as Indicated in the
diagram and close the cover.
• Remove the cover of the battery chamber at the side of the camera.

Insert the batteries as the diagram in the chamber indicates.
Press the cover of the battery chamber toward the arrow until it clicks.
+ Running Ability:
Manganese batteries Approx. 10 cartridges or more.
(The running ability may differ because of the performance of batteries.}
• When not using the camera, keep the switch dial at "OFF" to prevent the
camera from operating accidentally.
• When changing the batteries, choose six high-quality penlight batteries
(size AA) of the same brand and change them all at the same time.
• If the camera will not be used for an extended length of time, the bat
teries should be taken out of the battery compartment to prevent possible
damage to the terminals from battery corrosion.

0 Checking the Batteries
^ If there is not enough voltage the camera does not work properly. It is
advisable to check the batteries occasionally.
• Turn the switch dial to "R", push the battery check button and read the
needle in the check window.
• When the needle points to the blue zone, the voltage is satisfactory and
you can use any shooting technique. When the needle is in the white zone,
the voltage is enough only to run the film at 18 fps. When the needle is in
the red zone, the voltage is too low and you should change the batteries.
With the needle in the red zone, even if the camera seems to work, the
voltage is not enough to operate the exposure system properly, so be sure
to change the batteries.
к Eyepiece Adjustment
' Look into the viewfinder while directing the camera to a bright
subject. Loosen the tightening screw and rotate the eyepiece adjustment
ring till you can see the lines of the split image screen clearly in the center
of the viewfinder. Then, close the tightening screw.
• Without adjusting the eyepiece to your individual eyesight, you cannot
focus correctly.
• The microprism rangefinder can be interchanged at the Canon Slation
written on the iast page of this instruction booklet and the only charge will
be its actual cost.
C Loading the Film
“ • Open the rear cover by pushing the opening button.
• Insert the film cartridge with the identification label facing the film type
window.
• Close the rear cover by pressing it to the former position.
When you hear a click the cover is locked.
FILM SPEED
The film speed is automatically set with the insertion of a film cartridge
and no manual adjustment is required.
The following film cartridges can be used.
Tungsten Type: ASA 25 40 64 100 160 250 400
Daylight Type: ASA 16 25 40 64 100 160 250
FOOTAGE COUNTER
The footage counter turns according to the length of exposed film. One
mark equals 2 ft. The counter returns automatically to "0" when the back
cover is opened.
• When the cartridge is out, the counter does not work.
FRAME COUNTER
One scale of the counter equals two frames of film. One full turn equals
72 frames (1 ft).
• To set the frame counter, rotate its knob and set the indication needle at
"0", so you can sea how many frames you have exposed.
Preparations for Electric Eye Operation
1 Set the switch dial at "R".
* All the electric circuits are on and the shutter is ready to work.
"OFF” is the safety position at which the electric source is off to prevent
the shutter and the exposure meter from operating accidentally.
0 Make sure that the EE/manual aperture control ring is
^ pushed in.
• If the EE/manual aperture control ring is pulled out, the camera is
switched to manual operation and the EE exposure control does not work.
Ì3
Set the filming speed.
The standard filming speed for Super 8 movie is 18 fps and the
3
movement of the subject will then look most natural when projected.
• Turn the filming speed dial to 18. Make sure that the index is correctly
set toward the number.
• When projecting the film shot at 24 fps, motion is 1.3 times slower than
when taken at the standard 18 fps. Use 24 fps for the following effects.
■ Making standard sound film
■ Slowing down the motion
■ Lengthening the zooming time
■ Avoiding blur while panning
The slow-motion shooting mechanism is built in.
This is especially useful for analyzing fast moving animals or sport events.
• The instant slow-motion is shot at approximately 54 fps. When the
instant slow-motion switch is pressed while shooting, the speed of the
film will suddenly change to slow-motion shooting.
If you want slow-motion pictures from the start, press down the switch
first, then pull the trigger. To stop it. release the trigger first, then the
slow-motion switch.
• The instant slow-motion switch works only when it is pressed down. Be
careful not to release it during slow-motion shooting.
• The instant slow-motion switch should be pressed down quickly. If it is
pressed slowly, several frames may not be correctly exposed.
The instant slow-motion switch is useless in single frame shooting, and if it
is pressed the frame shall be over-exposed.
• The movement of slow-motion shooting when projected is about three
times as slow as the ordinary one. Use it in the following cases:
■ To avoid blurs during panning or while you are moving.
■ To slow down the motion
Single frame shooting is explained in detail in page 31.
