Automatic operation
plus sophisticated manual control.
The new Canon EOS-l has been created to fulfill the requirements of the most demanding pro-
fessional and advanced amateur photographers. It will become the classical standard against which
other cameras must be measured, because it offers both the EOS system's highly-regarded automatic
operation
and a variety of "manual" options that permit fine tuning. Custom Function Control lets
the photographer customize certain aspects of the camera's automatic operation to meet specific needs.
Autofocus is faster and more reliable. And a selection of metering modes, AE modes, and film winding
modes provides the serious photographer with total control over the entire photographic process.
