Type:35mm autofocus, single-lens reflex camera with electronically-controlled automatic exposure, focal plane shutter, and built-in motor drive.

Usable Lenses: Canon EF lenses (full aperture metering only)

Lens Mount: Canon EF Mount (electronic signal transfer system)

Viewfinder: Fixed eye-level pentaprism. Gives 94% vertical and horizontal coverage of actual picture area, and 0.8X magnification at infinity with a standard 50mm lens.

Dioptric Adjustment: Built-in eyepiece is adjusted to standard - 1 diopter. (eyepoint: 19.3mm)

Focusing Screen: Overall new laser-matte/AF frame. Six types of interchangeable screens are available optionally.

Viewfinder Information:  Displayed at the bottom of the viewing area.

• (1) 7-segment LCD digit and character display

  • 1. Shutter speed-flashes at 2Hz to give out-of-coupling range warning.

  • 2. Aperture value-flashes at 2Hz to give out-of-coupling range warning.

  • 3. Metered manual exposure level-OP, oo,CL

• (2) LCD mask character display

  • 1 . * -AE lock indicator in partial metering mode.

  • 2. M-Manual exposure indicator

  • 3.Flash charge completion indicator

  • 4. + / - -exposure compensation indicator

  • 5. AF in-focus indicator (flashes at 8Hz when AF is not possible.)

Light Metering System: TTL full aperture metering using SPC. Two selectable metering patterns: evaluative metering and partial metering (approx. 6.5% of the picture area). Stopped-down metering is not possible.

• 1 .Shutter-Priority AE

• 2. Aperture-Priority AE

• 3. Intelligent Program AE

• 4. Program Shift Function (EOS 620 only)

• 5. Manual

• 6. Flash AE (A-TTL program flash AE and TTL program flash AE with specified Canon Speedlites)

Camera-shake Warning: Operates for program AE, aperture-priority AE . When automatically set shutter speed falls 0 to 0.5 steps below 1/focal length of the lens in use, the electronic beeper sounds. Beeper can also be turned on and off.

AF Control System: TTL-SIR (TTL secondary imaged registration) phase-detection type using BASIS (base- stored image sensor). AF operation starts when the shutter button is pressed halfway. AF in-focus indicator lights upon ranging completion. Audible indicator  (electronic beeper) can be turned on and off.

Three selectable modes:

• 1 .ONE SHOT: AF operation ends and focus is locked once ranging is completed. Shutter does not release until ranging is completed.

• 2. SERVO: Focus continuously adjusts to follow the subject movement. Shutter can be released at any time regardless of ranging completion.

• 3. Manual: By rotating the manual focusing ring after focus mode switch is set to "M".

AF Auxiliary Light: The ultra-bright red LED (peak sensitivity: 700nm) is automatically projected with specified Canon Speedlites.

Shutter: Vertical-travel focal plane shutter with soft-touch electromagnetic release. All speeds electronically controlled.

Shutter Speed: EOS 620-1/4000-30 secs and bulb. X-sync . is1/250 sec. Can be set in-1/2-step increments.

Self-timer: Electronically controlled with a delay of approx 10 secs indicated by blinking LED operation confirmation lamp.

Film Wind: Automatic using the built-in miniature motor. Confirmation by the film transport bar marks in the display panel.

Film Rewind: automatic using the built-in miniature motor. Starts when the film end is reached and then ,stops (with 24-exp. film, approx. 7 secs ).

Mid-roll rewind performed by pressing the film rewind button.

LCD Display Panel: Displays only the information required at the time,e.g. shooting mode, film winding mode, AF mode, shutter speed, aperture value, film speed, or battery check. Timer function for eight secs is provided; the display is held on for eight secs after the switch i.e., shutter button is pressed. The EOS 620's display panel can be illuminated by electro-
