Canon 199 A - Manual (Page 2)

Main Features
1. An electric signal from the 199A conveys
the f/stop selected on the 199A to the
camera side and automatically sets the
f/stop on the camera except AL-1, AV-1
and New F-1 (in the aperture-priority
mode).
2. In the same way, the light output signal
from the 199A automatically sets the
shutter speed of the camera to the X-sync
speed.
3 Shutter speed settings of 1/60 sec. or
slower with New F-1 and 1/30 sec. or
slower with A-1 can be used.
4. Battery consumption is reduced with
the employment of the series control
system.
5. The 199A may be used jointly with the
Power Winder A, A2, Motor Drive MA,
AE Power Winder FN or AE Motor Drive
FN.
6. Average distribution of metering is
obtained by suppressing the peak sensi­
tivity at the center of the picture.
7. Stabilized exposure is obtained with the
built-in regulator circuit.
8. The pilot lamp lights up to indicate that
firing of flash is possible and flashes on
and off to indicate that the battery is
fully charged.
9. The 199A has a built-in flash confidence
light.
10. The flash firing section tilts up to 90°
Thus, bouncing of flash is possible with
the 199A attached to the camera.
11. The flash angle of coverage is designed
for the field of a 24mm lens with the use
of the Wide Adapter for 199A.
