Meter
Using
Canon FTb provides the most accurate light measurement possible with its unique TTL (Through-The'Lens) system.
The built-in exposure meter, which is of match needle type, is coupled to the ASA film speed scale, shutter speed dial and preset aperture ring.
The CdS photocell of the exposure meter is placed in the closest position to the beam-splitting condenser lens. The central area metering system enables accurate measurement of the main subiect even in counterlight.
The rectangular frame in the viewfinder represents the light measurement area of the CdS photocell. Place the main subject within this frame and measure the intensity of light so as to obtain the proper exposure.
I The correction of the full aperture opening of the lens is performed automatically. Therefore, the operation does not change regardless of the speed of the lens used. An
FL lens can be used only with stopped'down metering. r Due to the characteristics of the CdS photocell, the movement of the meter needle may occasionally become slack, owing to changes in the degree of light.
I Metering at "B" on the shutter speed dial is not possible with the built-in exposure meter, because " B " is used for long exposures over one second.
I Always use a lens hood when shooting against the l i g ht . l8 r When not using the camera, set the meter switch at

Stopped-DownMetering
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 b y p u s hi n g d o w n t h e s t o p p e d ' d o w n f u n c t i o n i n g l e v e r .
The stopped-down f unctioning lever can be f ixed for continuous light measurement by pressing it towards the lens
With the after setting the lever lock at " L " position. fixing of the lever, shooting subjects with different light in' tensities or telephoto lenses can be conveniently f undled.
By returning the lock to the white dot position, the metering lever will return to its original position.

t|iewing Focusing and Gomposition
The exact picture image to be photogra phed can be seen on the f ocusing screen of the viewfinder without any parallax. This enables you to determine the exact composition o f y o u r s c e n e b e fo r e p r e s s i n g t h e s h u t t e r r e l e a s e b u t t o n .
Focusing
The center circular section of the viewfinder is a microp r i s m s c r e e n r a n g e fi n d e r m a d e u p o f m i c r o s c o p i c p r i s m s for fast and precise focusing.
While looking through the viewfinder, revolve the focusing ring. lt is in focus when the image in the rangefinder becomes sh arp and clear. t An optical curve may sometimes be visible in the lower part of the viewfinder according to the angle of the incoming light. This is a reflection of the beam-splitting mirror added onto the condenser lens in the TTL light measurement system.

FD Lens Mount (FL and R Series Lenses)
All Canon FD and FL lenses, which have FD and FL mounts, can be used with the Canon FTb, except the FLP 38mm
F 2.8.
I lt is also possible to attach and use all Canon R lenses for Canonflex use. However, as the preset aperture mecha' nism differs, pictures must be taken by controlling the aperture manually.
Lens Gap
When taking off the lens c?p, push in the lock on both sides of the lens. When attachingthe lens cap, do the same thing. The lens cap can also be attached on filters which have inner threads.
Lens Hood

With some exceptions of standard and wide-angle lenses, a lens hood can be stored in the camera case. When doing this, attach the lens hood onto the lens in inversedorder and align it to the bayonet ring and turn counterclockwise.

Fixing Mirror Upwards
In performing photomicrography,the Canon FTb can be operatedwith the mirror locked in an upward position after the picture has been composedin the viewfinder,in order to e l i m i n a t em i r r o r v i b r a t i o n .
To lock the mirror in an upward position, push down the stopped-down unctioning lever and the lever lock to " M ". f The aperture is now stopped-down and controlledmanually.
The mirror can be locked independentlyfrom film advance and shutter speed operations.
When the mirror is locked in an upward position, SLR viewing is not possible,and distance must be estimated by eye.
When the mirror is locked, always keep the lens covered.
The film will sometimes becomefoggy if the lens cap is not attached. r After the mirror lock device has been used, be sure to return the mirror lock lever to its original position. Failure to do this will result in inaccuratefocusing. r When Canon Lens FL 19mm F 3.5 is used, the mirror should be fixed, and combinedusageof the exclusiveviewfinder to this lens becomesnecessary.
