but I would like you to understand

Thank you




In this article, we will introduce the safety lock lever of Canon’s 1966 manual focus film SLR camera.



Canon PELLIX QL (Reference product)



The safety lock lever serves as the shutter lock.


It is located under the shutter button on the top of the body, midway between the shutter speed dial and the film winding lever.



It is the base of the shutter release button and is shaped for easy finger operation.



There is a black-colored indicator on the lever surface. When the indicator is aligned with the letter “A” on the body side, the shutter is released.



When the “L” is aligned with the letter “L” on the body side, the shutter is locked so that it cannot be released.




In this issue, we introduced the safety lock lever of Canon’s 1966 release manual focus SLR camera.


This safety lock lever is a very good mechanism to prevent malfunction of the shutter release operation.


It seems to have been adopted in a similar design in this era by Canon.


We believe that other manufacturers are also using this mechanism, and we will introduce it to you if we can find it.







We will continue to introduce new insights and great designs for film cameras in the future, so please look forward to it!


Thank you again for reading this column.
