Canon's first 35mm SLR camera
with TTL metering. A super-thin, semi-transparent film only 20/1000 mm
thick was used as a fixed mirror. Since there was no mirror blackout,
the user could see the image at the moment of exposure. A stopped-down, TTL exposure meter used 12% spot metering at the viewfinder center. It was hailed for its accuracy and reliability. The fixed pellicle mirror reduced the amount of light reaching the film by half. However, since the image could be viewed through the viewfinder even during long exposures, it was a popular camera.
