Canon514XLFeatures

The Canon 514XL embodies Canon's highest quality ideal with an emphasis on compactness and easy use. The Canon 514XL offers all the 8mm zoom features and was developed only after long and involved research. In spite of the large aperture f/1.4 and high 5X zoom ratio of the lens, it is as compact as a 3X zoom camera with a slim body.

This instruction booklet was written for your convenience, to be used to thoroughly famil iarize you with the operations of your new 514XL. We suggest you keep it on hand and refer to it frequently until you are fully acquainted with its great potential.

• XL System That Enables Filming in Dim

Light

'XL' is an abbreviation for "existing light". Cameras with this XL system enable pho tography without any additional illumination even under dimly lit conditions.

The Canon 514XL is a high quality XL camera with a high speed lens, wide angle of shutter opening and high speed meter.

• Compact Zoom Lens with Large Aperture Despite the fast f/1.4 and the high 5X zoom ratio, the size of this lens is the same as that of a 3X zoom lens. The diameter of the filter is 43mm. The sharpness of the picture image is outstanding and you will surely be satisfied with the resulting movies.

• Light, Slim and Handy Body

Even with all the newly developed mechanisms, the Canon 514XL has a light and small body which is very handy for such occasions as travel. This slim body is the result of all possible considerations in designing the optical system, power source, and drive system, etc.

• (From candlelight out into the sun) Light Metering of Wide Range

An XL camera requires an exposure meter which is capable of measuring a wide range.

This camera has an exposure meter which enables accurate light metering at either dimly lit or bright places. The light measuring range is enlarged for both the bright side and dark side.

• High-Precision Viewfinder

You can focus accurately even in dimly lit places because of the bright and accurate viewfinder.

•The Viewfinder Gives All Filming Informa tion

The single lens reflex viewfinder is free of parallax and has all the necessary information for filming. The split-image screen for focusing, aperture scale, the under/overexposure warn ing marks, battery check lamp and film trans port indicator can be all checked at a glance.

•Wide Angle and Telephoto Marco Mecha nism

With the Canon 514XL, you can switch to macrophotography from either wide angle or telephoto, whereas conventional cameras only enabled macrophotography in one of these settings.

• Built-in Self-timer

Compact and slim the 514XL has a self-timer which enables the photographer himself to be in the picture.

• Additional Features

The concentrated power system of two penlight batteries, single frame shooting, con venient EE (AE) lock mechanism for shooting against the light, and the eyepiece adjustment system.
