Quartz Date Back E Technical Back E / Interface Unit TB / Keyboard Unit E
The Quartz Date Back E is a fully automatic data back which imprints data on the film.

short months)
2. Auto digital clock mode (Day/Hour/Minutes) with 24 hour display.
3. Arbitrary 6-digit numbers

speed, aperture value, lens focal length and film speed.

and good common sense. Observing them will keep your camera in top condition at all
times. We recommend cleaning your camera periodically.

tissue slightly moistened with lens cleaner.
2) To clean the reflecting mirror and the focusing screen:
Only use a blower brush. If more cleaning is necessary NEVER attempt to do it yourself, take
it to an authorized Canon Service Facility.
3) To clean the film chamber:
Use a blower brush to occasionally remove accumulated film dust particles that might
scratch the film.
4) To clean the film pressure plate and the film guide rails:
Lightly wipe the surface with a lens cleaning tissue moistened with lens cleaning fluid.
PRECAUTIONS
· Be careful NEVER to touch the shutter curtain.
· After using the camera at the beach, clean it thoroughly Salt and sand are the camera's
worst enemies.
· Aerosol spray dust removers are not recommended for the shutter curtain area. If used,
hold the can at least 20cm (8 inches) away from the curtain.
STORAGE
The best thing you can do for your camera is to use it regularly. If you must store it for
awhile remove the battery. Then wrap the camera in a clean, soft cloth and place it in a cool,
dry, dust-free place. If you store the camera body and lens separately, attach the body and
rear lens caps.
AVOID STORING YOUR CAMERA IN THE FOLLOWING PLACES:
· "Hot spots" such as a car trunk, rear window shelf or glove compartment.
· Laboratories or other areas where chemicals may cause corrosion.
· In direct sunlight.
Carefully check the operation of each part after prolonged storage before shooting important
events.
Other Notes
1. Liquid Crystal Display
The display panel uses a liquid crystal to display exposure information. After about five
years, the display may become hard to read.
The liquid crystal may respond relatively slow in low temperatures about 0°C/32°F and the
display may become dark in high temperatures about 60°C/140°F. Regular functioning
resumes in temperatures about 20°C/68°F.
Take your camera to the nearest Canon Service Facility for the replacement of the liquid
crystal. (Replacement will be at owner's expense.)
2. Blinking "bc"
Display
A "bc" appearing with battery check bar marks may blink in the display panel to warn you of
battery replacement or camera malfunction. Perform the following operations:
1) Check the battery first.
2) If battery voltage is insufficient, replace the battery.
