WINDING
The Canon VI-T and VI-L features the fastest built-in Rapid Wind mechanism...winds the film to the next exposure...recocks the shutter. At the same time, it advances the Film Frame Counting Dial to the next number.
Pull out the Rapid Wind Trigger (29) from its bed in the camera base plate and extend to a vertical position. Pull the trigger the full length of it.s run. The trigger will auto matically return to its original vertical position when released.
For the last three frames on your film, pull the Rapid Wind Trigger very gently or you may tear the film from the spool.
A Canon Rapid Wind Pistol Grip (with wrist strap) is available as an accessory.
For Model VI-L, one-stroke motion of lever on top of the camera winds the film, cocks • the shutter, and advances Film Counter Dial.
For copying stand work, or when a tripod is used, the Manual Film Winding Knob (11) is used instead of the Rapid Wind Trigger.
Align engraved black dot and black line on the top ot the Manual Film Winding Knob and raise the knob in action position.
Turn the knob clockwise until it locks in position. Your film has then been advanced one frame...the shutter has been rewound...the Film Frame Counting Dial set to the next number. Keep the Rapid Wind Trigger in its unraised position.
Important: Before using the Rapid Wind Trigger again, be sure to return the Manual Film Winding Knob back to original position by depressing the Manual Film Winding Knob Release Button (23).
|
The shutter can be adjusted to speeds of 1 second, and 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, |
||
|
1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, and 1/1000 of a second as well as B(bulb) and X exposures. |
||
|
Each exposure time |
is half that of the previous one. This method of adjusting |
|
|
is convenient when calculating the relevant lens aperture. |
||
|
In adjusting the shutter speed, turn the shutter dial either to the right or left |
||
|
until the desired reading is obtained. With the scale set at B (bulb), the shutter |
||
|
will open, and stay |
open, until you release pressure from the shutter button. It |
|
%/i |
is used, |
therefore, |
for exposure times in excess of one second. The X scale |
|
reading |
is used for |
speedlight (electroflash) synchronization. The shutter speed is |
approximately l/50th of a second; however, the effective time of the exposure in this case becomes faster depending on the performance of the flash light. When time exposure is required, set the dial to B and use a cable release with lock.

On the Canon VI-T and VI-L, focusing and composing can be done at the same time. When you look through the Range-Viewfinder Eyepiece (20), you will see two images. By releasing the Lens Focusing Lever and rotating the lens barrel, the two images of the object you are focusing upon coincide. At this point of coincidence your camera is in focus for the object you are about to photograph.
All Canon Lenses, except those supplied with a reflex housing, couple to Canon Range-Viewfinder mechanism.

FOCUSING & COMPOSING
The image magnification is changed when the Tri-Position Range Viewfinder Selector (21) is turned either to the left or the right. You can select any one among the 35, 50, or Mg selections. Although focusing can be done with any one, when number 35 is selected, the image in the square frame is identical to what would be obtained with a 35 mm lens. When number 50 is used, double white frames can
be seen. Within the outer white frame is the 50 mm |
|
|
image and in the inner white framed area an image |
|
|
taken by a 100 mm lens can be seen in life size (I : 1). |
|
^ |
When at the Mg selection, an exclusive magnified selector |
' |
|
enables long-range viewfinding. At the 50 reading, which |
'i' |
|
has white frames for 50 mm and 100 mm lenses, the |
|
|
viewfinder is automatically regulated for parallax cor |
|
|
rection. |

When the Canon Zoom-Finder V, or other auxiliary viewfinders are attached, irrespective of the interchangeable lens used, parallax error will always be automatically corrected.

SETTING LENS APERTURE
(F : STOP)
Set the Lens Aperture Scale (4) by
turning |
the milled ring at the top of |
the lens |
until the required f: stop is |
opposite the index mark.
For correct aperture opening, consult
an exposure data card or |
use |
the |

Canon Meter. |
