Chronology of cameras Canon
Starting from the late 1950s, Canon expanded its range of rangefinder cameras by manufacturing a new type of camera, the single-lens reflex (SLR), which had previously been overlooked by the brand. Demand grew worldwide, whether from professionals or amateurs. However, Canon had to produce multiple models before offering one that could compete with the leading professional market model, the Nikon F.

__________The Canon T70 closely resembles the Canon T50 externally, but it is much more advanced. The T70 offers a choice between various exposure modes. Selection is made by manipulating two buttons, and the selected mode is displayed on a liquid crystal display.
The exposure modes are as follows:
- Program Wide: Automatic exposure programmed for wide-angle lenses.
- Program: Automatic exposure programmed for standard lenses.
- Program Tele: Automatic exposure programmed for telephoto lenses.
- Aperture Priority: Used when mounting a non-FD lens. The measurement is then at actual aperture.
- Tv 125: Automatic exposure with shutter speed priority. The default speed is 1/125th of a second. This speed can be adjusted using one of the two buttons.
Program is the same program as that found on the AE-1 Program.
Program Wide is intended for focal lengths below 35 mm. Depth of field is prioritized.
Program Tele is intended for focal lengths above 150 mm. Faster speeds are prioritized.
Tv 125 allows the user to choose a speed and lets the camera adjust the aperture. This mode features "cybernation," meaning that if the camera is unable to find the aperture corresponding to the speed chosen by the user, it will adjust the speed to ensure correct exposure.
When the TV mode is selected, it is possible to unlock automation on the lens. Changing the speed will display the ideal aperture value in the viewfinder. It is up to the user to adjust this indication by turning the aperture ring.
It is also possible to switch to full manual mode.
The measurement at actual aperture is only possible with non-FD lenses. This amounts to an automation with aperture priority.
