Canon Sure Shot 35mm point and shoot film camera with 38 mm f/2.8 Lens

Product Information

Shutter Speeds: Most models’ fastest shutter speed is 1/500 but a few models are slower. Later models have a longer maximum shutter speed, up to 2 seconds. Apart from the above lofty aims, at its time of release it was also the lightest and smallest waterproof 35mm camera.It is no surprise that it was quite successful in what is effectively a sub category of the compact camera category of cameras.

If this was to happen, and it did happen, the cameras would have to be easy to operate. The AF-7 certainly fits this bill. The Sure Shot A1 model was a big hit, and judging on how many are still available and working with seals which are up to 24 years old at the time of writing, it is quite amazing. Reversed Galilean viewfinder with projected frames. Within the image area are the AF frame, in-focus lamp and near-distance warning lamp, combination flash-ready and camera-shake warning mark, and parallax correction marks. 0.45x magnification.These evolved through the decades, with each iteration making picture taking easier and easier. There were very many models and variations on the model names right through to 2005 with the final model the Sure Shot 90u II Date. The Cyber Shot series was based on the premise created by the Sure Shots.

Regardless, all of these posts feature shots taken with it. Some of my favourites are these colour images from Chongqing, China, and a monochrome photo essay I made in Qingdao, also in China. The whole line of Canon Sure Shot cameras – which ran from 1979 to 2005 and was known as Autoboy in Japan – was designed to give the company a meaty slice of the consumer camera market. The camera’s handy mode dial features a Flash Off mode, Flash On mode, Red Eye Reduction Automatic mode, and Underwater Macro Zone Focus mode. These modes all operate as would be expected by veteran Camera-likers™. Newcomers should remember the following Pro-tips™: Being an expensive flagship, the Canon Sure Shot Z155 has impressive specs and some unusual features. Such as a date stamp that lasts up to 2049, various captions that you can imprint on your photos (only on caption model). You also have exposure compensation of ±1.5 EV. The camera has an impressive top shutter speed of 1/790s and slowest of 2 seconds.He would descend into the water wearing a heavy diving suit, the ones with the metal bulb head gear. His efforts produced work which was published in 1893 and led to the ability to this day for people to see wildlife in its natural habitat right to the lower depths of the sea. He also published a book in 1898 called “La Photographie Sous-Marine” (Underwater Photography) which detailed his underwater photographic work. The book came with many photos taken over the years. The Sureshot Multi Tele is a very simple camera with only 7 buttons and a latch to play with. You can’t change the ISO, you can’t change the shutter speed or aperture, you can’t even turn off the flash (but electrical tape comes in handy). However, there are a couple interesting things you do have control over on this. In general, I found the Zoom XL’s focus to be fast and reliable insofar as I could easily tell if the camera thought it had focused or not, and its success rate was pretty high at just over 90% so about 3 or 4 shots on a roll of 36 were out of focus (and this includes focus missed due to possible camera shake or subject movement post-focus, but also includes some where the camera definitely messed up big time). This is not as high as an SLR but is nevertheless a very respectable performance for a point and shoot. I think the success rate is due to the spot AF being calculate from quite a narrow central region, which makes focus and recomposing very straightforward.

One gripe I do have is that while the frame lines being so central is handy, they do seem to get lost in bright light. I struggled to see them on occasion leading to a few framing mistakes. Have a look at the view through the viewfinder in the camera specifics section above, you can see how easily they disappear even though are well defined. My one word of advice is get ready for the flash to go off. You will not be subtle taking any photos with this camera, so prepare for people to stare you down and your freshly-blinded friends to complain every time you take a picture. Otherwise, I find it to be one of the best cameras in my ever-growing collection. If you see this and don’t want the flash, you can release the shutter button, press the handily-placed no flash button on the front to turn it off, and focus again.Weight: While every model is decently lightweight, the oldest model on the list weighs almost twice as much as the newest model.

When it arrived, I inserted a battery, and awaited my chance to use it. Unfortunately I left it on and when it was time to use the camera it would not fire up. I feared that maybe the camera, being so electronic no longer worked and put it aside.Next chance I had, I bought a new battery and it fired up, which was a great relief. SPC for full-auto program EE. Metering range of EV 6 – 17 (at ISO 100). Film speed range of ISO 50 – 1600 (with DX code). While the overall experience is pretty similar from model to model, there are some slight differences you should be aware of if you’re looking to buy a Cannon Sure Shot. a-Si cell for full-auto program EE. Metering range of EV 3 – 17. Film speed range: ISO 25 – 3200 (with DX code).

There is a built-in flash, with a guide number of 7.5m at ISO 100. Obviously, this above water and in the water it is only effective if the camera is set to the underwater/macro/fish setting which tops out at 1.5m.
