The Canon EOS 300V is a single lens reflex camera. It was presented to the world public in 2002. As "Canon EOS Rebel Ti" the model of the company with headquarters in Tokyo could be offered on the American market. Under the name "EOS Kiss 5" the 35mm camera was sold in Japan.
The lens of the Canon EOS 300V can be changed. Lenses with an EF bayonet can be used with the camera. The camera has an autofocus.
The 35mm camera has an exposure meter. It is designed for films with a sensitivity from ISO 6 to ISO 6400. The camera reads the DX code of the film cartridge and sets the light meter accordingly.
The light meter is designed to measure the exposure through the camera lens. The Canon EOS 300V can automatically set the aperture and exposure time. If desired, the aperture and exposure time can also be selected by the photographer.
The shutter speeds of the EOS range from 1/2000 second to 30 seconds. If you want to take long time pictures, there is the bulb setting. In this mode, the shutter is released as long as the shutter release button is pressed.
In low light conditions, the built-in flash can be used. It has a range of twelve meters at ISO 100 and a hot shoe flash can also be used.
According to the operating instructions, the camera weighs 365 grams and measures 13 x 8.8 x 6.4 cm. Power is supplied by two CR2 batteries (eBay / Amazon*).
