In this column, I will be discussing the battery compartment of Canon film SLR cameras.
We will refer to the products on sale at our vintage shop Japan Inc.
Film SLR cameras use a variety of small batteries.
The batteries have changed over the years.
Canon EF (with 55mm+Zoom 100-200mm lens)

The Canon EF was introduced in 1973.
The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the body.
In this era, two mercury batteries are installed.
The lid is opened and closed using a coin.

The battery compartment has a door-type lid.

Lowering the knob on the left side opens and closes the lid and installs a single battery.

These are the battery compartments of Canon film SLR cameras in this issue.
In the future, we plan to write columns about battery rooms of other manufacturers.
Stay tuned!
