| Remote Control |
A 2.5mm socket is provided on each of the three power sources of the AE Motor Drive FN for connecting accessories for remote control and intervaltimer photography. Remote Switch 3 or 60, the Wireless Controller LC-1, the Interval Timer TM-1 Quartz, or other remote control devices may be plugged into this socket.
 |
With the mode selector on OFF, connect the remote control device to the socket. If the mode selector is not OFF, the shutter may be released, thus wasting one film frame. |
There is no viewfinder display when a remote control device or interval timer is used with the motor drive.
| Multiple Exposures |
Multiple exposures are possible when the AE Motor Drive FN is attached to the camera. The film must be taut before making the first exposure. To take up any slack in the film, unfold the rewind crank and gently turn it in the direction of the arrow until it stops. Then turn and press the camera's rewind lever in the usual manner; the film will now remain stationary for multiple exposures. The mode selector can be set to any of the three positions. To release the shutter, press either shutter button on the motor drive. To cancel multiple exposure operation, lightly press the camera's shutter button. The rewind lever will disengage, and normal shooting can then be resumed.
Notes:
1. The frame counters of both the camera and the motor drive will advance each time the shutter is released.
2. There is a possibility of slight movement of the film if you make an excessive number of exposures on the same frame. Note that, depending on the number of exposures made on the frame, exposure compensation is necessary to prevent overexposure.
3. To check the tension of the film, the rewind crank must be unfolded before you turn it; otherwise, it will turn freely. Refer to the camera's instruction manual for further details.
Ni-Cd Pack FN and High Power Ni-Cd Pack FN
These packs with built-in, rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries are exclusive accessories for powering the AE Motor Drive FN. Quick recharging is possible with the Ni-Cd Charger MA/FN, which is specially designed for this purpose.
 |
The Ni-Cd packs are useful for shooting at low temperatures or for an extended period of time. The High Power Ni-Cd Pack FN, in particular, performs well even at very low temperatures and can be used as the sole power source for both the camera and AE Motor Drive FN by attaching the Battery Cord C-FN. |
| Wireless
Controller LC-1 This remote control device uses infrared light to control cameras from a distance. The LC-1 is particularly useful in sports and wildlife photography, news coverage and numerous other fields. The Wireless Controller consists of a transmitter and a receiver. Up to three cameras can be operated separately on three different channels. |

Interval Timer TM- 1 Quartz
The use of quartz control in this accessory ensures excellent time accuracy for a wide range of timelapse photography with the AE Motor Drive FN or AE Power Winder FN. The timer can be set for 14 different intervals, allowing interval photography from one exposure per second to one exposure every 30 minutes. Because this accessory has a cord, it can also be used for general remote control photography.
Time Lapse Programmer
The Time Lapse Programmer is ideal for use in such special fields as wildlife and nature photography which require continuous or fixed-interval, unmanned shooting. These accessories are used in conjunction with the New Canon F-1 and the AE Motor Drive FN or AE Power Winder FN. The A unit regulates the shooting interval between frames while the B unit controls the time at which the A unit operates. Used together, the time interval can be extended so that only one frame is exposed over a 24-hour interval.
