In this issue, we will take a look at the shutter speed dial on Canon’s 1964 manual focus film SLR camera.

This film SLR camera with a steel silver body was released in 1964.

The shutter speed dial is located next to the shutter button and film winding lever.

The dial is a disk with white-colored speed values.
The film sensitivity values are marked at both ends of the center of the dial.

The film sensitivity can be selected by pulling up the flat knurling on the circumference.

You can clearly see the flat knurling on the hand-turned part.

In this article, we introduced the shutter speed dial on Canon’s 1964 release manual focus SLR camera.
The shutter speed dial is the part of the dial that is always used, and this Canon FX has a shared shutter speed and film sensitivity dial.
A very good idea, and an easy-to-read numerical dial.

We will continue to introduce various shutter speed dials in the future, so stay tuned!
