Canon F1-N manual Meter Coupling Range

20 METER COUPLING RANGE

20 Meter Coupling Range

With an FD 50mm f/1.4 lens and ISO 100/21◦ (ASA 100/21 DIN) film, the New Canon F-1’s built-in exposure meter couples within a range of EV.- 1 (4 sec. at f/1.4) to EV 20 (1/2000 sec. at f/22). In aperture-priority AE or stoppeddown AE, the coupling range is EV-1 to EV 19 (1/1000 sec. at f/22).

EV (Exposure Value) is a numerical value of exposure which is based on proper combinations of shutter speed and aperture. The camera’s EV coupling range varies with lens speed and ISO film sensitivity.
