Film Winding
The film advance lever winds the film, cocks the shutter,
and prepares the aperture and mirror for the next
shutter release all in one motion.
Turn the film advance lever until it stops. The film
will be advanced one frame and the shutter cocked.
The frame counter is simultaneously advanced t o the
next number.
y e n the shutter release button is pressed, the
mirror f l ~ p sup, the diaphragm simultaneously closes
down to the preset flstop and the shutter operates.
After the shutter is operated, the advance lever can be
wound for the next frame.
Winding may be done by moving the lever with
several short strokes.
The shutter will not function when pressing the
shutter release button unless winding is completed.
I n such a case, check the winding once more.

Frame Counter
Each winding will advance the number of the frame
counter, indicating the number of pictures taken. When
the back cover is opened, the counter automatically
returns to starting position "S".
Aperture
The aperture is set by turning the preset aperture ring
to the desired flstop.
As the flstop number gets larger, the amount of
light reaching the film plane becomes correspondingly
less. For each flstop up, the light is reduced one-half.
Accordingly, when the aperture is increase8 by one
flstop, the exposure is doubled, and when it is increased
by two flstops the exposure is quadrupled.
The maximum aperture of a lens may not be one
included in the international standard series. If it is not,
the second flstop will not designate an aperture one-half
as large as the first flstop.
The ratio between the aperture and the amount of exposure, using f12 as the basis, i s as follows:

Full Aperture Metering
Full aperture metering can be performed with FD lenses.
Set the shutter speed dial at the desired speed.
Point the camera towards the subject, look into the
viewfinder, and check the position of the meter
needle and aperture needle.
The meter needle is coupled to the film and shutter
speeds, and moves vertically according t o the brightness
of the subject. The aperture needle, with a round
circle, is coupled to the preset aperture ring of the
FD lens.
Turn the preset aperture ring and align the aperture
needle with the meter needle.
The "A" mark on the preset aperture ring is for Servo
EE Finder with Canon F - l or AE cameras only.
In the case of f/stop priority, turn the shutter
speed dial and align the meter needle with the aperture
needle. Be sure to set the shutter speed dial at the
click-stopped positions.
If the aperture needle does not align with the
meter needle by turning the preset aperture ring,
it means that the shutter speed is not properly set.
In this case, align the two needles by turning the shutter
speed dial.

Stopped-Down Metering
When using a lens having no full aperture metering
signal such as FL lenses, metering should be performed
by stopping down the lens. Stopped-down metering is
performed by pressing the stop-down lever.

Focusing
The center circular section of the viewfinder is a microprism screen rangefinder made up of microscopic prisms
for fast and precise focusing.
While looking mmugh the viewfinder, revolve the
focusing ring. It is in focus when the image i n the
rangefinder becomes sharp and clear.
Magnifier S
The Canon Magnifiers can be attached t o the viewfinder
eyepiece of the TX, with the separately available
adapter which magnifies the rangefinder section for
accurate focusing. Because it can be flipped up and
clamped, the entire field-of-view can easily be viewed
after focusing, which is very useful for copying in great
quantities.

Film Loading
Canon TX accepts any standard 35mm film roll in
daylight loading cartriges. Always avoid loading film in
direct sunlight.
Raise the film rewind crank and pull it all the way
up. The cover will open slightly.
9 Open the cover fully. Face the film cartridge as
illustrated, and insert i t into the cartridge compartment. Push the film rewind crank back into its former
position. The crank fork will slip into the axis of the
film cartridge. In case the crank does not fully return,
turn i t slightly to the left or right.
'
Pull out the film from the cartridge and insert the
film tip into the s l i t of the film taking-up spool for
a length of approximately two pefforations.
Turn the film advance lever and wind the film
around the film take-up spool t o take up any excess
leader. I f there is excess leader, the edge of the cartridge
will rise and the backcover cannot be closed.
A t this time, engage the teeth of the film taking-up
spool and that of the film advance sprocket with the
film perforations.
Press down on the back cover and close it.

Film Rewinding
Be sure not to open the back cover before rewinding.
Otherwise, the entire roll will be exposed and ruined
as the exposed film is naked within the camera.

Changing Lenses
Remove the lens from the camera body by turning
the breech-lock mount ring of the lens t o the left
until the red dot on the lens coincides with the red dot
on the camera mount.
TO confirm the operation or for reverse-lens shooting,
first remove the lens from the camera body. Then,
press the lock pin which is located just above the
positioning pin of the breech-lock mount ring with a
pointed object and turn the breech-lock mount ring.

EE Lock Pin:
This is a protective pin t o prevent the

aperture ring while pushing down the EE lock pin. When
withdrawing from the " A mark, turn the aperture ring
again pushing down the EE lock pin.
EE Switch Pin:
When the preset aperture ring is set
at the "A" mark for AE use, the lens can be attached
only t o the Canon F - l and AE cameras. I f the lens is
attached t o the TX, it cannot be set a t the "A" mark.

Distance Scale
lndicatcs the oistance between the f o c ~ s e dsubject and
the f m pane. I t 1s necessary for checking the depthof-field, for f.ash and nfrared photographies.
The correct position of the scale is i n the center of
each v a l ~ e . For example, the correct p o s ~ t i o nof a
two-digit v a l ~ eis the center of the two fig~res.
Infrared lndex
For infrared photography, correction o f the distance
scale is necessary because the focal point slightly
deviates from ordinary photography. Focus first inthe
ordinary manner, then adjust the distance scale t o the
infrared mark
("R" i n the case of F L lenses)
i n red. For instance, i f the distance scale reads 10m
after focusing, shift the 10 scale t o ""'. The position
of infrared mark on the T X is based on using film with
the maximum sensitivity at 800nm, such as Kodak 1R
135 film and Wratten 87 filter.

Film Plane I n d i c a t o r
When focusing is done by actual measurement, measure
the distance from the film plane indicator and set the
distance scale t o the measured distance.
When performing close-ups, macrophotography or copy
work, decide the distance of the camera from the
subject with this indicator.

D e p t h - o f - F i e l d Scale
The depth of the field scale indicates the distances fromthe
camera i n which the photograph's subjects will be i n
sharp focus on the film. For example, i f the lens used is
50mm and the subject has been focused at a distance o f
3rn (10'), with an f l 8 value, read o f f from the scale on
either side of the indicator (orange line). The depthof-field is from approximately 2.3m (8') t o 4.3m (14').
I f the aperture is closed down t o fl16, the picutre will
become sharp between 1.9m (6')t o 7.6m (25') from the
camera. Basically, the smaller the flstop, the greater the
distance of the subject from the camera or the shorter
the lens focal length, the deeper will be the depth
of the field.On the otherhand, the larger the flstop, the
nearer the subject t o the camera or the longer the lens
focal length, the shallower will be the depth of the field.
Iri the case of Canon FD lenses, you can see the
actual sharpness through the viewfinder by pressing the
stopped-down lever.

Lens Hood
When attaching the lens hood on the lens, align it to
the bayoner ring on the lens and turn it clockwise.
W i t h a few exceptions a lens hood can be stored in the
camera case. When doing this, attach the reversed lens
hood onto the lens and align it to the bayonet ring and
turn counterclockwise.
