It is the first Canon SLR to feature shutter-priority AE with silicon photocell metering and a hybrid Copal Square shutter offering an extraordinary 30-second long exposure capability. Paired with the versatile Canon Zoom Lens FD 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 Macro, a high-quality two-touch zoom covering wide-angle to short telephoto with close-focus macro mode.

A highly collectible Canon SLR — the "Black Beauty" remains sought after by collectors for its F-1-inspired build quality, hybrid mechanical/electronic shutter, and historical significance as Canon's first SPC-metered SLR. The slow-speed issue at 1/2 – 1/4 s is a typical service item that does not affect everyday photography or long exposures.
